Boinc Pentathlon

If there's still only 7 of us, I think we're doing a mighty job. Do we need to make sure we have some kind of balance between the projects or could we all just as well do WCG and Einstein and ignore the others?

I'd say go for the balance, after all the points positions for all are just the same. Einstein is GPU so we can go all out on that, malaria is all but over now. Yoyo we could give it a bash while keeping an eye on WCG, making sure we don't lose ground, then of course there's the 3 day sprint, I think we should go all out for that, just my opinion.
 
Day 6 bulletin

Einstein
Looks like OcUK (#10) will now have to pay for their good start. They are currently blundering through the countryside and have allowed Ukraine (#9) to pass and Boinc.Italy (#11), Crunching@EVGA (#12), TeAm AnandTech (13), Rechenkraft.net (#14), Gridcoin (#15) and even Meisterkuehler (#16) are closing in. Mind you, the margins are currently still very large but don’t be fooled!

Overall
OcUK - Overclockers UK have built a little castle at #19. Storming this will be difficult for BOINC@MIXI (#20) and nigh impossible for TitanesDC (#21), AMD Users (#22), SETIKAH@KOREA (#23) and LITOMYSl (#24). BOINC Confederation are just about hanging on to #25 ahead of SETI@Deutschland and BT Retired Club (#27).

Glad to have you on board Biffa
I've got some malaria tasks to drop, but I've had no Internet since 8 am this morning since upgrading my broadband, it can take up to midnight to come back on but I have some units expiring in the evening :(
 
Malaria has now finished, we just held on to 20th fending off a late surge from titanesdc and we are now down to 12th on Einstein, the two teams below us are 2 and 3 million points behind us respectively, and their output is the same as ours so with two days to go we are looking good for 12th spot.
 
Don't know about swimming, we're currently drowning on yoyo, down to 22nd. Doesn't at the moment look like any more danger from behind, and we are slow catching one team above but they're 70,000pts ahead of us, think I'll give it another day and decide whether it worth continuing with. With so few of us spreading ourselves thinly isn't an option and then we have the sprint any day now.

Edit: we've just pulled the spot back on yoyo :) not going down without a fight!

If it's under warranty just RMA it, or if it's out of warranty get an aftermarket cooler like an arctic accelero.

Don't know if you noticed but we grabbed a spot on WCG only to lose the same spot to another team, it was seamless, seem to happen on the same update.

The team that was 70,000 ahead of us on yoyo is now only 30,000 ahead, so I'm going to keep on that until the stomp and then switch a couple of rigs over to LHC, and Einstien is finishing in a few hours, we are being caught, but too little too late for them :) 13th will be a good result for us.

EDIT: Just realised that we were 12th, one team dumped 10.5 mill in the last 24hrs to stomp half a dozen teams, including us, still, no shame in 13th.
