Who knows? Maybe Tony will send some of his team members home early like last time

Well, I'm off on holiday, maybe my PCs will freeze up while I'm gone!

 

[Ken g6]

Wow, I almost ran out of work because (work units of type) Childhood Cancer progressed faster than I expected!

I had some extra Ebola suspended, so I'm working that now.

 

[Markfw]

Well, so far all my boxes have done a lot, and have a lot ready to start, so I am good for now.

Zipspeed probably thinks I dropped off the map with my stats for today.

 

[StefanR5R]

looking at both teams I think its going to go between you guys and oc.net this time, but as always we can only do our best with the members we have

There is no need to worry about anything this time: Gold, Silver, and Bronze of league two will all go to team IBM alone.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Who knows? Maybe Tony will send some of his team members home early like last time

Oh, that's HARSH bro, harsh. If I send him home early this time, he will just go back to crunching WCG as usual.

Oh Crap. This might be a battle for Bronze, as XtremeSystems may take Silver.

 

[Markfw]

I just turned on 20 more cores. So 164 cores so far. : have 48 more I could turn on if we need to.

Less than an hour until I let the hounds loose.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Less than 40min until the race officially starts.

Team Stats can be tracked here. It is updated hourly, and the first results will be an hour after the start.

For individual stats, you will have to rely on 3rd party sites or go to your account on WCG, and keep track of your points on your own, remembering that WCG points divided by 7, equal BOINC points.

 

[Markfw]

And I have a mystery box somewhere that I forgot about that did 5k points in the last update.

 

[StefanR5R]

Those 5k might be from older work of yours which just got validated by the wingman.

 

[Markfw]

Ahhhh.... Well, the hounds are loose, and all is uploaded, not sure, about 1000 to 2000 tasks

 

[Ken g6]

The first results are in. In the lead, with 674,691 points, more than twice what the rest of League 2 has done combined, is the IBM team.

We're #3, with 67,895 points, behind XtremeSystems. We would also be #3 in league 1.

 

[crashtech]

It will be quite a few hours before I can get my Laptop to some WiFi and let go what I have. My earlier comment about machines locking up was ill fated, the Haswell quad was not responding to connection requests this morning. It's a new installation of Windows, I think I forgot to turn off updates.

 

[iwajabitw]

Just got home to start my dump.

Edit: Not sure how much it is. That quad A8 had no screen response. Had to hard boot it before I could upload.

 

[Markfw]

Well, I think we have a smaller deficit than the last update. Only 29k away from 3rd now.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Ugh, set a timer for 10 minutes and laid down on a icepack prior to the race's start. It was a good 6 hour nap.

I think my little birdies were released in time to get counted for the last update. Checking the update now...

Hmm. OCN is ahead by 29k. Maybe OCN has some regulars devoted to WCG that didn't participate in previous Sprints? Then again they had a really good start last time too.

Where's OcUK? Literally asleep, possibly, when the race started, and/or holding their cards close to their chest like last time, until the end.

 

[Markfw]

crap now down 47k. Loosing ground fast.

 

[ocukguest]

well done lads! as you can see we all fell asleep and well, the results speak for them selfs

 

[TennesseeTony]

Yeah right.

I'm leaning towards this:

...holding their cards close to their chest like last time, until the end.

 

[TennesseeTony]

We've moved up in the Marathon. We can maintain this position even if we lose some ground during this Sprint.

 

[StefanR5R]

Oh, +12 points from half a day ago. How did we do this?

Edit: Ah, these are precisely the 12 points from the WCG sprint.

 

[StefanR5R]

well done lads! as you can see we all fell asleep and well, the results speak for them selfs

Yeah right.

I'm leaning towards this:

...holding their cards close to their chest like last time, until the end.

Watch out, the islanders are sneaking up upon us, disguised as mountain folk with kilts and bagpipes.

 

[Kiska]

Argh! I never did bunker tasks. I forgot to turn off network comms

 

[Markfw]

Well, we made it to 3rd place !! 68k ahead of overclock.net

I have over 200 cores now working.

 

[Markfw]

87k ahead now !
