The Scottish Boinc Team

I've copied the stats table to the post in the general forum https://tsbt.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php? ... 422#p68422 so guests can see it. to ask Hal Don't want our butts kicked on our own challenge. I'm hoping to get home before start so I can at least get a few days bunkering in.
[mention]Hal Bregg[/mention] We would love your help on this challenge if you fancy it.

anyone joining the fray will appear automatically when WU validate - that's what I was testing with Kevin de Bruyne

Check their expiry date. I'm still getting units on 32 bit win that expire on 3/3

Controversial choice, Belgium footballer and all

Actually, that gives me an idea. I can test a name change to see if it all still works.

Now, let me see, what name would be even more controversial ... ...

Done. We might have a long time to wait as I'm expecting it to happen when the next full scrape happens. Care to take a guess?

Flame war 2019 ....

I guess I had better post on the TN-Grid forum, see if we can drum up some more support and give them a heads up that their server is about to take a battering

John Rae, Orkney born arctic explorer I presume ?

Indeed - I am impressed

The more-astute of you will notice that the top post now contains 2 stats tables. One for TSBT and the other for our mortal enemies good friends at UBT.

Most of us will be bunkering so don't expect much movement until 4th March when all hell will break loose. I will also synchronise the start times on both to be the Challenge start time - thereafter in theory my totals should agree with a fresh update on Boincstats.

This is new code so don't beat me up if it still has bugs in it I'm just off to insert another line of PHP code ... if( $team == "TBST" ) $credits = $credits * 1.2; //no-one will notice

[mention]UBT - Woodles[/mention] Thanks to the hard work from [mention]davidBAM[/mention] you might notice something of interest to you and your team on the first post in this topic https://tsbt.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=149&t=10999

I have also made it available in the public General forum. Topic is here https://tsbt.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php? ... 530#p68530 where any UBT members can see it without making an account on the forum. Of course they are always welcome to make an account and post if they wish.
You can also link to it on your forum if a bit of old fashioned rivalry gets a few more involved.

The stats update every 15 mins and will be reset just prior to kick off. Enjoy .

I will also sync the start times for midnight tonight as it looks daft just at the moment

I'm assuming the tables are laid out in a geographical order rather than the expected finishing order?

In both orders we are on top

Spent too many years incarcerated in a cartographer's box in the Moray Firth (and I'm not even from Shetland)

Back in your box you ....... couldn't resist, I'll get my coat now ..

How long have you been waiting to use that smiley?

Years ....

Correct, it geographically ordered. If it was expected finish UBT would be further down the list Oh wait a minute, there is no further down the list

Yeah - I'm sorry that the column width for Challenge Points has to be the same on both tables

That's alright, you can increase your table width to match ours once the challenge starts

Ooooff, fighting talk I like it

Well what's a challenge without some ill-founded optimism

I hope I am not late for the challenge. Should I start bunkering now?

PS
Invitation code, please.

You need the invitation code: science@tn (from home page)

Yes, you can bunker now

I better clean my visor next time :-D

I only know because I stumbled onto it recently myself

Is there any optimized app for this project?

[mention]Hal Bregg[/mention] , thanks for joining in. We need more helping out.
Now, who else can I bug to take part .......

Opti apps are here

From what scole says, the optimisations give fairly minor improvements. FMA on Threadripper is the only one I've bothered with

Hey [mention]Tejas[/mention] , do you fancy taking part in this team challenge ?

We had some newcomers but they remain quiet. What about remainder via email?

I'm glad the weather has cooled off a bit with all this crunching going on. We don't expect 18degs C in February

You are on the board [mention]Hal Bregg[/mention]

Finally got in from the garage at 01:30 this morning. Kart ready to run, I hope. Apologies for being MIA for the last day . Less than 24 hrs to go, I hope some of you have a bunker or two as I think we have our work cut out for us on this challenge. Some heavy hitters in the teams that have joined. Hopefully a team member or two will join in. Still time to switch over to TN-Grid for the team.
I hear my pillow calling.... track day again tomorrow.

Less than 12 hours to go folks

Start times reset in post #1 but remember that the BoincStats page will also go 'live' for the duration of the challenge

I usually wait for the first update before releasing bunkers.

I'm sitting in 5th . Better take a screen shot as I doubt it will last
Tally ho, bombs away etc.

Why are people so negative and believe that they should dictate what others do .

CRACK ON CHAPS.

Pete showed him though - 850K in the first hour of the competition

Woo hoo - 5 out of the top 6 at the moment https://boincstats.com/en/stats/challen ... 54/credits

Mumps hasn't woken up yet though

Exactly.Cracking job by [mention]PeterJ.Shane[/mention] in taking first place in the competition.
I thought I was quite restrained in my replies, when all I wanted to do was shout shut the fcuk up you pathetic moaning idiot....

Indeed - your replies were worthy of Boutros Boutros-Ghali himself. TSBT returned over 2M credits in first hour.

Is Gunnar from Belgium do you think?

Pretty much anyone that has been on a peacekeeper mission knows that UN sadly stands for Unavailable Now.

Sweden by the flag on his profile . So he's probably married to Ingar and drives a Volvo. We shouldn't judge
I did a number of jobs on a railway tunnel through a Mountain in bastad, Sweden. ( Hallands Tunnel ) Try writing a report on that, with multiple references to the location, without getting paranoid.

Two and a half hours in and [mention]PeterJ.Shane[/mention] is past the one million mark. Haters be damned. Well done Pete on the effort .

This week will have Pete outscore Mr Swede's lifetime total

I am going to bed now rather than sit helplessly while scole overtakes me

No?? Mind you, bet he has another tranche of bunkers ready to drop.
