I am much too modest and demure to resort to that ...
[goes off to look to see if his badges are any more impressive now] Truth is, I couldn't even tell you where my University Degree certificate is as it was never that important to me. I really should find it now though as a 40yr old Computer Science degree is probably a museum piece

- we'll miss you, will give a holler for any challenges / sprints
I also met a few personal goals before my self-imposed New Year's deadline:
- 10M cross-project points on WCG
- 1 billion total credits on BoincStats - actually did 1 billion in the last 2 months of the year
- into top 1000 users on BoincStats
And of course the TSBT team romped home in the Christmas Elves challenge - must remember to put out a Captain's message to thank everyone

Didn't quite make it into BoincStats overall top 750 within 5 months BUT I did creep into top 20 on daily credits #18 on
https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/user/list/12/0/0 (yes, I know Collatz is the main reason)
Question though : looking at 1, 2 and 6 on that link, how can anyone do 600 million credits on their first or second DAY?

It doesn't look like they actually earned credits. It looks like a stats anomaly or glitch. Maybe they changed email address on their projects.

Next update should confirm that I am now over 10Bn (with 5 days to spare)
Now ... if I could only make it into the top 250 on Boincstats, my life would be complete. Of course it wouldn't be complete at all ... boinc really draws you in as a the next target is always just out-of-reach

Surely a lat and long would be more useful if I have to venture into such badlands ?
I presume the zombie repellent kit and accompanying land shark protection is standard

Amazing David. You are 30th in the BOINC Universe by total credit.
In such a short time too! All your rivals have an 18 year head start.
Awesome.

All change for next year though, I think. Plan is to only run the GPUs on challenges & on hard-to-find work such as GPUgrid and BURP. I'll buy more GPUs with the money I save on the lecyy bill
Will probably keep the CPUs busy speculating for a WCG Sprint until such time as that passes.
I just hope that FB continues in a similar vein

So February at PG is the Tour de Prime, where the object is to find Top 5000 primes. I've been shut out the last few years (and had some years where I never tried). It's been 9 years since my last T5K. Halfway through this years event I have this shiny new badge:
.. yup, not 1, not 2 .. 4 primes, one returned a mere 26 seconds before the double checker.
.. and a half a month to go.
My point production is crap but I am a happy man!
