I think I've been doing this stuff since way back in 2001. I joined Anandtech to buy and sell some hardware, then found this group and have been around off and on ever since. I used to have a fairly formidable fleet of crunchers, mainly working on Seventeen or Bust. We were the #1 team in the...
Here at work, it was really more than just the noise, etc. I have to connect through a hot spot for F@H because of some of the firewall/filtering rules in place. (I work for a school system. Don't worry though, I have permission from the CIO to run this stuff. He's a really nice guy.) I'm...
Now that the first part of the race is finished, I am going to shut down a couple of workstations at work. Too many questions about why it is so loud in my office and why my fans are always running at full speed. :)

Any major differences in BOINC 6 and 7 that I need to be aware of? I may be able to get this going on a few computers on Monday....

Life is life. I've got one in collge, one in middle school, and I am still trying to stay on top of an ever growing network at work.
Right now, I may try to get my #1 spot back in SoB, then move back to BOINC projects. Not really sure. Taking that top spot may be tough, I'm quite a bit...
I think there are a lot of good ideas. We just need to get them going.
I am thinking about putting something like this in my sig:
