I'm Back

[deerslayer]

I've decided to jump back in to Distributed Computing again. I probably haven't posted on the forums for a couple years.

I just fired up Rosetta@Home on Monday. Got a few rigs crunching away at it.

My name used to be LyNx01 here at AT.

I crunched for SETI back in the day (before boinc) and I crunched SoB and Lifemapper for a while too.

Good to be back. I've seen several familiar faces while lurking these past couple of days, and a lot of new ones.

Hehe, so your "OT forced vacation" is over guess

 

[deerslayer]

Apparently. I tried a reply today for the heck of it and it worked. But ssssshhhh, maybe they don't know.

Welcome back!

 

[Silverthorne]

Welcome back, now if we could only get you to come to the DPAD team.

 

[Wiz]

Great to see you back, & welcome to Rosetta!!

 

[JonB]

I remember the LyNx01 name but not any details of where or why you dropped off the radar.
I don't think we are quite as competitive with other teams now as we were two or three years ago.
We used be to pretty hard core. Ran off DanC and a few others when tempers flared.

 

[Wolfsraider]

Very nice to see you again

I remember both names

Take care Bro

Mike

Oh wow, I didn't know anyone got run off, haha. I just stopped crunching because I went to college and the crunchers turned my dorm into a sauna. Funds got pretty short too.

Good to see you (Wiz, JonB, Wolfsraider) again, I remember seeing all of you guys around before.

Welcome back & welcome back

I remember you as lynx01 and briefly as deerslayer; I also vaguely recall when you had to quit crunching at college, though somewhere around then I started becoming less active as well. My name used to be jliechty, but you probably don't remember me because I did almost no SETI, and no SoB or LM at all. It's great to have you back, as well! :thumbsup:

While reminiscing, I also remember when DanC got PO and left DPAD. I think I left shortly thereafter, because - as I recall - somewhere around 80% of the results that I'd turned in suddenly disappeared, and since noone seemed to know why, or could offer any hope that it wouldn't happen again, I quit.

 

[deerslayer]

Actually, I do remember seeing a jliechty around. I can't remember all the projects I crunched, but I tried several of them. SETI, SoB, and LM were just the ones I remember being very active in.

Welcome back, deerslayer :thumbsup:

 

[CupCak3]

Welcome back mate

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

The name deerslayer sounds familiar, but I think I got started after you left... Nice to meet you.

What Mike said :beer:

 

[Starrider]

Who could forget one of the old Nef masters

 

[deerslayer]

Me, nef? I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[Starrider]

Great to see you back here again, it's been awhile Hehe, never could forget one of the first TA members that welcomed me to the seti team way back when. Real life got in my way for a few months, but I just fired up a few crunchers for TA on Rosetta myself.

 

[deerslayer]

Sweet. I got my buddy to put his dual core 64 on R@H for me, but he stopped it already because it was getting hot. He says he's going to put a new HSF on it and start it back up. I've been storing his rack (empty of course) for the past 5 years, so he owes me.

Hello Brett! Good to see you back on the DC Forums.

According to my records, deerslayer / also known as LyNx01 joined TeAm AnandTech - Seti (Classic) on 9/4/2002.

His personal helper from the Mentor TeAm was Crazee.

Welcome home. :beer:

 

[deerslayer]

Haha, I forgot about the mentor thing. I miss SETI classic

 

[KifArU]

What a great thread, just when I "come back home"
Another oldtimer returning to the Anandtech family. I just started Boinc / Malariacontrol.

And yes, i also remember both names from some time ago.

(for the people who don't remember me: I'm Dutch, so my English might be off sometimes)

 

[deerslayer]

I vaguely remember your name. But at 321 posts in 8 years, I can see why.
