[Megacruncher]

Now the BoincSIMAP has been postponed we should consider giving this some stick - a good use of all our Android devices if nothing else.
Let the bunkering begin!

[Alez]

As soon as I have completed the relocation , I will prioritise this

[scole of TSBT]

Does Enigma have much lag time between completed task and credit awarded?

[Megacruncher]

Not particularly. And with a 7 day comp that would not be a big issue anyway.

[Alez]

Someone's been doing a bit of bunkering TSBT and Scole straight in at #1.

Edit : and then SETI.USA joined the party ......

[scole of TSBT]

Expected bigger teams coming. Is it fair to say we & I held first for a while :)

Me thinks Megacruncher is holding a stash. Must be waiting for his coffee to kick in.

Just having my tea. My stash was modest, Only 19K but it's got us above the French again in 3rd.

[scole of TSBT]

Any optimization that can be done for Enigma? What does changing Max frames/sec affect?

[Alez]

As far as I am aware there is no way to optimize this project other than to run more cores or overclock the cpu. I think the max frame is just standard to boinc , for projects that have a screen saver. I believe it does nothing here ( or at least not that I could find ).

We are back in 5th now, the hordes of amphibians having passed us again. We need more people on this really Any volunteers ?

[scole of TSBT]

Scotties, we need more power!

Anyone ever watched a clips of how some of the scenes on the original TV series where shot? Here's a short clip of a scene where the crew on the bridge gets tossed around after some confrontation, perhaps with the Klingons... or the French It shows the scene with the camera motion backed out. Funny. The laws of physics and inertia don't apply the same way to the Enterprise crew as they do to other people in space. How did the all get tossed in different directions?

[scole of TSBT]

You know, if we could get a few more teammates to join the comp, I think we could overtake Keep The Fire Alive! and hold 3rd.

[Silver]

You are probably right Scole, a few more team mates wouldn't go wrong.
However for the six of us taking part I think we're giving it a good go

It does look like I'm going to loose my second place team ranking to Alez though

[Megacruncher]

Keeping the amphibians at bay is a big deal. And keeping 3rd a feasible goal is even bigger.
Hopefully a few more peeps will join in over the next few days.
Whatever, we are doing alright! 8)

[scole of TSBT]

Meanwhile, alez is racing for the top 10. Stay on it. :bounce:

[scole of TSBT]

Here's the participant count by some of the larger teams...
BOINC@Poland 85
SETIKAH@KOREA 66
L'Alliance Francophone 61
SETI.USA 33
Team China 23
BOINC@AUSTRALIA 17
UK BOINC Team 17
Ukraine 16
The Scottish Boinc Team 6

Just 6 of us! Yet here we are kicking butt in 4th and have Keep The Fire Alive! looking over their shoulder.

Come on TSBT! Get in on this scrap!

(To join a challenge, all you have to do is join the project and crunch tasks. If you already have CPUs on projects, you can temporarily suspend that projects until the challenge is complete)

[Alez]

Just grabbed 10th
Unfortunately looks like my first computer down on this trip away already though. Seems they know when I'm not home
We are still ahead of the amphibians in 4th :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Alez]

Things seems to have reached stability. If we keep this up 4th is an excellent finish for effectively 5 of us competing.

edit: my apologies, 7 of us have contributed in the last 24hrs now. Welcome to Scott Home, a new cruncher on this project. So there's me, scole, mega, paul, skywalker, Robert MacLennan and Scott Home on it

[Alez]

We're down to 5th and I have an amphibian chomping on my butt
More power scotty ......

[robmacagain]

If i give her anymore captain she'll blow

[Alez]

If i give her anymore captain she'll blow

always with the excuses about the dilythium crystals, about time we installed another reactor in engineering

[scole of TSBT]

Been away for a few days. Back in 5th, bummer. Too many of them.

[Alez]

Yes, I was in 9th briefly, then some french bloke flew past me and was gone

[scole of TSBT]

Difficult to hold when it's 9 against 84.

[Alez]

TSBT finished 5th from 19. A great effort.

Individual kudos
