Mmm.... We've just had a bit of a push on Albert. I'll not ignore this but it won't be getting my all. It's not that good a use of a GPU. Or a CPU for that matter.

I would say the same.........then I'll get all competitive and become a liar

[Alez]

What can I say, competitiveness has overruled common sense....
A challenge within a challenge....
We are in 74 with 150 k, Scotland in 51 with 448 k. By the end of the challenge ( 30/4 ) I intend to take that place from them..
228 k in 10 days, easy money

[Alez]

67th place now, BOINC in Northumberland at 64. 3rd in the UK coming up soon.
I really need to learn not to be so competitive ...... just not anytime soon

[Alez]

Starts tomorrow and we're only 205 k away from Scotland already.

[Megacruncher]

We are gaining on Scotland & have already overtaken Boinc in Northumberland to become UK #3.

Goodness knows what heights we will hit once the challenge actually starts.

[Alez]

57th now, 205 K so only another 155 k to go munch,munch,munch

[Alez]

By daily credit added today we are #1 in the world !!!!!

120 k to overtake Scotland. Been knocked down to 5th in competition, time to turn up the volume 8)

[Alez]

3rd to 5th in teams only separated by 1.8 K. Only 80k to take Scotlands place. Done deal fairly soon
Looking forward to FMAH@Home challenge

[Alez]

Will have Scotland in the next hour or two.....now how far away are UK Boinc Team?

[Alez]

Up to 48 now , all the 2's. TSBT 2nd in competition, I'm 2nd in the competition, TSBT 2nd in the UK

[Alez]

That's TSBT up to 40th now. Given circumstances at home don't have time to baby sit competition so going to bow out in 2nd place and run down my cache.

Sort of like Mo Farrah in the London Marathon. Keeping up with the leaders until halfway through then bail out with the point well made by a fearsome performance? :)

Thanks for a great bit of sustained crunching which has utterly transformed our prospects for this project.

My Albert work is almost done for now too. Once Janos has resumed normal service I'll trickle it to see if over a few months we can bag a million.

[Alez]

Thanks,
TSBT in 3rd, I'm in 3rd and @ 100k pending. Up to 37th overall now. Not going to rule out a last day cameo appearance if required.....
you can take the boy out the competition, but you can't take the competition out the boy

[Alez]

TSBT ended 3rd.
Individually
alezevo1 5th
Megacruncher TSBT 14th
Skywalker TSBT 57th

and more importantly TSBT up to 35th in the world, well clear of where it was when we started

[Megacruncher]

Yup. 99th to 35th in a few weeks isn't bad. :)
Like I say I'll see if we can inch it towards a million over the course of a few weeks.
