A personal CHALLENGE ...2 Million a day! I mean it this time !!!

[Engineer]

Updated because this first post was a little confusing:

Originally, I challenged the members of Team Anandtech to raise the RC5 output levels from around 1.3 million to 1.5 million in a two to three week period (this was around 2 weeks ago from today)...We immediately jumped up to 1.5 Million and I was prompted by several members that the number might not be high enough...So I bumped it up to 1.7 million in the same 3 week period (That's per day every day after the three week period! )..

Our numbers then proceeded to fall back to 1.1 to 1.3 million range, and sadly , I changed the goal to 1.5 million as to achieve one smaller goal at a time than one huge goal that would sorta demoralize everyone if we didn't make it....As soon as I lowered it, several members gave feedback that the goal should indeed remain at 1.7 million per day after the three week period...Ray in particular

So, after thinking, it's back up to 1.7 million per day....for now...!

I personally think the goal should be "whatever the DPC flushes each day + 1 (or more)"...How about that for a real goal....

You guys and gals are doing fantastic work.....I am proud to be a part of this group!

Have a great day all and have some fun today...



P.S. And to all the guys who promised that we would be there, I'M WAITING

 

[MWalkden]

I added 6 more p120's to the game! Not heavy hitters but hey!

 

[Russ]

Engineer,

We shall make it so.

Russ, NCNE

 

[RC]

I will do everything I can to help us reach that goal.

 

[Wulf]

I will have about 3 more k5 pr200 and 2 366@550 by the end of the month.

Perhaps if everyone started carrying a floppy in your back pocket with the RC5 client--think, every time you go to the doctor, dentist, car repair place, your minister, whatever, there is a hapless PC waiting to be assimilated. Cocktail parties would be a great opportunity, slip into their den, install the client, and if you get caught, start taking a whiz in their potted palm mumbling about too much to drink and isn't this the bathroom?

May have some explaining to do about that cow icon, haven't figured that out yet...

 

[DanC]

2 of Borg has made a decision to enter the decidedly "Icky" world of Linux.

Get ready for Crack-racks 3, 4, and 5....

My Engineers are already "nix toads" - we're starting to build.

 

[BurntKooshie]

JimMc Unfortunetely, that's not a good idea to install it without the owners knowledge...it could get the team disqualified. But, I actually do carry around a floppy for when I have potential assimilee's, and I also have my dnetc.ini file in my "anyone-can-get" folder for AOL instant messanger (curse AOL, but love the features to grab files from myself )

Russ Hey! You can't say that line! You're borg, not Captain Picard!

WulfThere's no such thing as a PR 200 (it never came out - max was PR 166, which was 116 mhz)....unless they are OC'ed

 

[RC]

DanC - This is really great news. Will you posting pics of your crackrack 3, 4, and 5?

 

[DanC]

RC, Yes Sir, absolutely. I'm going to need help, and will be a whiny cry-baby - because I'm an NT geek and UNIX (or variants thereof) SCARE ME.

But... I'm going to give myself to the 'dark side'

Luke, Luke... where are youuuuuu????

 

[Michael]

DanC - I guess you're not from the DEC side of the business? Herds of Vaxen running Unix once ruled the net ....

Michael

 

[DanC]

Well... sadly I must report that I was originally hired as a DEC guy. But - My VAX experience is limited to VMS 5.5

I guess I survived, but my role is management, so I have to struggle to keep my hands in the true honor.... "geekdom"

 

[RC]

Since it's not a full blown Unix install there really won't be that much Unix knowledge required. I'm also going down the same path with a crackrack of OC'ed Durons.

I will need to pick up on some fundamental networking knowledge - do I use a switch or a hub? Little things like that. I will also need to install a pproxy to keep the herd fed and to be able to monitor their status.

 

[Michael]

RC - a hub should be fine, a crackrack will not generate enough traffic such that a switch is needed.

Michael

 

[RC]

I know Ultrix and DEC-Unix on Alpha boxes. Many years ago I developed software under VMS 4.1 or was it 2.1? I forget.

 

[Wulf]

BK- they are pr166's @ 200

 

[BurntKooshie]

 

[Adul]

I'll grab some mroe tomorrow. and try to get a few day to start cracking rc5.

 

[poohke]

euhhm... RC5 on a laptop?!
Batteries? Heat?

 

[dawks]

Watch the Borg start doing 200,000 blocks soon themselves. IT WILL HAPPEN!

 

[PeterN]

Am working on a co-student to form a miniteam on behalf of TA. He has three comps @home. Maybe more to come.

Will keep you updated.

 

[SYST3M]

well i think i shall try a bit harder to assimilate some more of my clan memebers, and to get one cow back up and running. i may add a few more mhz. i think i can do it.

 

[SYST3M]

oh yeah and anotherthing, can anyone send me a big in.buff, say 50k or so, i need it to give to a hungry dualeron powered cow that doesn't get flushed very often. thanks

 

[PeterN]

Sys,

When do you need the buffer?
If tonight is ok, then I will email it. I do have net-access at work, but can not email that easy.

 

[Dantoo]

Ordering another 1.5GHz+ tomorrow.
