silverback, 55? I thought you couldn't keep that pace...

blade, what happened? i hope this is a temporary thing and that you're going to have a big dump tomorrow or something.

 

[SilverBack]

Well my big dumps will be done today
BUT I WON'T GIVE UP!!!

 

[blade47]

My darn SetiQ server crashed on me again. Not to mention the fact that another of my machines needs reformating and the floppy drive won't work. I've tried 3 drives and none of them will work. So I think it may be the mobo's floppy controller. I guess I'll try to make a bootable install cd and see if that'll work. I tried booting and installing from my WinME cd but it won't work for some reason. Finally my remote machine hasn't dumped in 3 days. Which isn't that unusual. Hopefully it's still crunching wu's via setiQ. All in all I'm :|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|

Sorry for the complaining but I do feel a little better now.

 

[TuffGuy]

looks like tetsuo will be passing me up tomorrow...

 

[ElFenix]

perhaps you should just tack on the latest statistics at the end of this thread? makes for lots of replies.

 

[poopaskoopa]

3 weeks ago, I thought I had this wrapped up, but that is no longer the case. I'm practically begging my co-workers to help me out these days. A fool who shall remain nameless turned down my offer to buy him 2 Whoppers and supersized drinks and fries from BK(I'm cheap) to run SETI on his machines for me. This fool also started his own team to accumulate more WUs than me. I guess that's what I get for my overzealous recruiting effort and trash talking.

that's hilarious! ...sad for you, but hilarious nonetheless!

<< To Protect the World from PoopaScoopa >>

what a jerk!

ElFenix, yeah, that makes sense, but then we wouldn't be cluttering up the forums like we are now! OK, OK, I'll just change the title of the thread and from now on, all updates will be in one long thread like Polo's doing. Happy now?

blade_47 that sucks dude. sorry to hear that you're having so much trouble. i get really pissed off when i lose output too. I hope you can get it up and running like a champ again real soon.

SilverBack good.

 

[ElFenix]

don't you just hate it when recruiting efforst backfire? least he coulda done was join us here to try to beat you in this race.

 

[Assimilator1]

Yeah tell me about it!
My recruiting in other forums triggered off quite a few teams!eg
Team Piccard
Overclockers UK
Overclockers Australia

I also inadvertantly manged to reruite for THF's team too! ,damn it! ,at least I've never had a team specifically against me though

37) elfenix 1875

not keeping up too well... already done 13 today though, and i think i may have one more in before nexus9's stats from the home fleet. scheduled to be done in half an hour. and i switched the celeron from v2 GUI to v3 CLI, so getting a boost from there. so maybe 15 units today, not bad.

oh crap the p3 450 is running that gui client they took down... wonder if its crashed yet? it takes 16 hours holy crap! its slower than my 400 here! gotta get my sister to change that. i think i can get 18 if i get all my machines that are active on the 3 CLI.

oh hey i passed a bit of a milestone yesterday or today, i'm now in the top 3/4 of 1% of users! you guys will be here soon. how long have i been in the top 20,000?

ummmm, so i think that there's a SLIGHT descrepancy between yesterday's totals and today's. WTF did you do TuffGuy?!?!?! I see that little smiley there, but c'mon man, you've got some splaining to do! you owe me that! it's been one hour and you put 100 work units out! AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!

 

[ProZack]

Whoa Tuffguy!
Come on fess up...
New Dailies?!? Have you been busy recruiting?
Gonna get interesting...

Pz

 

[TuffGuy]

my friend went on vacation and she let me run seti@home while she was gone. i set up setiq before she left a few weeks ago and last night i paid her a visit...

 

[Tetsuo316]

i hate you.

 

[blade47]

Boy I wish I had a few real friends. You know the ones who'll run seti for you. But alas the people who claim to be my friends and have computers just won't do it.:frown:

 

[ElFenix]

yeah, my friends onyl run it after some arm twisting, and one of them wants it off as soon as this race is over.

 

[Assimilator1]

I have a friend like that too ,WTF is there problem? :|

 

[ElFenix]

&quot;it makes my computer slow&quot;
no, thats the crap that was left on your harddrive after a year and a half of no formats
&quot;why should i search for aliens?&quot;
cuz i'm in a race and need your help
&quot;but my computer isn't connected all day&quot;
it doesn't need to be, it only has to transfer about 350k every time it finishes a unit
&quot;it heats up my processor and uses electricity&quot;
a computer doesn't use much electricity, the big one is the monitor, and that doesn't have to be on. plus, when does the lightbulb burn out yadda yadda
&quot;duuude... but...&quot;
i really don't have a reply to this...

 

[Tetsuo316]

ok, from the top 200 @ 11:22pm pst

oh man, what hijinks today!
SilverBack: uhhhhhh, nevermind, I don't want to know.

kb0ogt and Mucman: what's happening guys? your outputs have really dropped lately.

blade_47: moved up a spot!

 

[Mucman]

A couple recruits have dropped out since they have seen that I'm not close in this race... my computer has been crashing all the time (linked to SETI) and that has cause my output to drop. I will be adding a T-Bird 800 though. It just seems most people don't understand what SETI though. How can people happily download and run the latest (bloated) programs like RA8, ICQ2000b, WMP7, but refuse to run SETI? I think I might post this...

 

[blade47]

My remote machine still hasn't dumped despite having been rebooted.:frown: It looks like I may have to make a trip to check it out.:| I hope it's still crunching and just hasn't been able to connect to the net.
