....And Taking Names

[paralazarguer]

Network man:
Current you are ranked 5 places higher than me in the team. I challenge you for a race to 1000 DP. I know you're into SETI bigtime. Think you can take me at ECCP?

Sept. 6 00:45:19 - Race over.
networkman 766
FlorianRed 1022

Sept. 5 12:45:53 - Lost two machines overnight and networkman upped production by 250% arpx. It's about to get really interesting.
networkman 674
FlorianRed 803

Sept. 5 00:45:11 - Server problems plagued both of us causing lost units. Upgrades, overclocking, and system building. Slow half day. Fun starts tomorrow.
networkman 514
FlorianRed 631

Sept. 4 12:46:02 - Pulling Ahead
networkman 466
FlorianRed 505

Sept. 4 00:45:00 - networkman has a healthy lead
networkman 446

edit: oops! I had the scores backwards!

 

[ken008]

Give him heck! I like your spirit FLORIANRED. Iam glad you are on my team!

 

[Engineer]

:Q

/me wonders if nwm will accept! Buwhahahahahaha!

Great spirit FlorianRed....but...buwhahahahahahaah!

 

[nagger]

I guess someone hasn't seen the pics from networkman's basement

But it's the spirit that counts

 

[Robor]

networkman was an amazing SETI producer (especially for a home based fleet) but I believe he changed nearly all of his fleet to other projects a little while ago.

My advice - don't call out the master of the dualies!

 

[joinT]

I hope Rich accepts the challenge. It can only benefit our team by his blowing you out of the water (no offense - but I don't think you know Rich as well as we do. If you convince him to make a hardcore move to ECCp, even TACO will be hard pressed to hold him back)

 

[Baldy18]

Givem heck Rich! Looks like your Folding@Home production may suffer for a little while but you can always make up for that later. The chance for a butt whooping is now.

I know exactly what he has. I also know that most of it is running SETI. Couldn't hurt to have some extra of it working on ECCP...heh heh. I've only been dumping with the Duron system. The rest of the work done for this project on my other systems has been....constapated. Don't count me out when you have no idea what my abilities are

P.S. Them's fightin' words.

 

[paralazarguer]

Make no mistake.
Oh no, make no mistake AT ALL.

 

[BadThad]

Actually, Rich is running RC5 big time I think. You're brave, very brave....he can turn on some serious DC power if need be.

 

[networkman]

I accept the challenge, however, you should know that while I do not have as many dual-cpu machines as I once did, S@H is not my main project right now either. Some of my machines have been crunching for a friend to repay a previous favor - the rest of the machines are crunching F@H and I have managed to achieve 8th place on the TeAm, shortly to be 7th place.

You should also know that my current ECCp rate is with just 2 machines.. are you sure you want to do this?

 

[paralazarguer]

Just 2? That's it? You gonna use some charcoal to cook that steak? It's been 12 hours since the last measurement in this thread and I've just dumped enough to pull well ahead of you. It should show up in the next hour or so. This should be interesting. I'll post the stats at the top of this thread.
Good Luck!

 

[RaySun2Be]

Hehehe, this ought to be good!

 

[Robor]

The gauntlet is down and Rich has picked it up and accepted the challenge. Be careful there, FlorianRed. Rich just might smack you with it!

Ohhhhh, this is gonna be good...

Good luck to both of you!

 

[paralazarguer]

Well well, My express post courier man just delivered for me and nice package. I'm going to start putting this Athlon XP together right away.

 

[networkman]

Sand-bagging already? My my.. well, I'm not going to be switching any rigs away from current projects to this race - just building up other machines from the spare parts or assimilating friend's machines.

 

[Freewolf]

Dude, I hope you got a bunch of packages on the way becauses you will need them.
I don't know networkman as well as some of the others but I do know 1 thing.
HE DON'T LIKE TO LOSE!
By the way He probably has more computers sitting in his parts bin than most of us own.

 

[Joe O]

There's been a change in the lead!

[Crazee]

I think FlorianRed should have to race him in F@H and RC5 at the same time to make things fair

 

[paralazarguer]

Hmm....Things are looking good. This athlon was a cych to set up. I just ripped out that old Duron board and put this puppy in its place. Since both had VIa chipsets I didn't even need to reinstlal windows. It's doing over a million/sec. Sweet. Now I have to figure out a way to get that duron back into service. Maybe I'll replace my 2.26p4 with it. It's faster at ECCP anyway I wonder how much a case and PS costs at the local computer store...I'm going to go find out

 

[RaySun2Be]

just building up other machines from the spare parts

:Q

Tweety Bird voiceOoooooh, FlorianRed just don't know, do he?/end Tweety Bird voice

 

[Baldy18]

Told you guys he was doing Folding@Home.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

[paralazarguer]

"assimilate friends machines?" I thought these things were done with just the machines in your possesion. Oh well, whatever. It's the team that wins in the end anyway

 

[Baldy18]

Nothing wrong with asking a friend or family member to do you a favor.

 

[networkman]

Very well, I will not use any PCs that I do not personally own.
