After a pretty good run in RC5, a great run in D2OL (don't think I was ever #1 in the world, but the TeAm was!), and a lot of fun in FaD, and then finally Rosetta (my final milestone: 1/2 million points, broke into the top 100 in the world, and cracked the TeAm top 10), it's come time to hang up my CPUs and call it quits. I've found that other interests are pulling me away from the time required to keep my modest herd running, that the expense can no longer be justified nor overlooked, and I just don't have the passion for DC that I used to have. As such, probably over the long weekend, my production will plummet as I turn off machines. There will be a few PCs kept around the house, but they will no longer run 24/7.
Sadly, the TA-STATS box will also be coming down. As much as I'd like to keep it up and running, there simply isn't enough activity on the server to justify keeping it up (less than 10 hits/day). I'd be happy to share the code I have with any TeAm mate that wants to keep the stats running... just PM me if you are interested and we can work something out.
Shortly, you'll see some stuff in a FS thread. In keeping with tradition, you guys will have first crack at it in an effort to keep what resources I have crunching for the TeAm.
There is one administrative matter that need to be attended to also. With respect to the D2OL team, it doesn't make much sense to have someone with no vested interest in the project designated as the team owner. If there is a current member of the TeAm that wishes to assume this responsibility, or if a vote is more appropriate, LMK and I'll pass the torch on to the next leader.
I've made some great friends and look forward to carrying on this friendships. You guys are a marvelous and unique group of people, and I'm proud to have been associated with all of you over the last several years.
Crunch on TeAm!
