/me fiddles

too much fiddling

I should just point out that I'm not leaving poor ol' Sammael out of the Tiffy listing just cos he's now over 1,000,000 - since the Tiffy's only work on the 2 most significant digits he won't have a new tiffy until 1,100,000 which he hasn't quite reached yet due to being over in the Seti camp for the last couple of weeks. I'm sure he's not too bothered anyway but just thought I'd point that out

Just missed the 100K deadline by minutes tonight

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/awards/cert.php?u=Walter_Anderson&pts=100000

yeah i noticed you were right on the verge of it - almost gave you a tiffy mention for 99,956

who knows - by some freak occurance the above post might find itself magically edited :eek:

edit: don't look now - extremely stealthy edits aren't my thing i'm afraid

lol, cool
although you forgot my 1000/2500 tiffys aswell!

well i wouldn't normally post more than one tiffy but seeing the sig that Mattus is sporting how can I refuse?

anyone else want me to corrupt the news a bit more?

I hit 350,000 for a different team. Is that corrupted enough to post?

make the graphs on this page go all wibbly wobbly and you have yourself a deal

edit: congrats on the 350K - you are far nobblier than me that's for sure

rich99million · 16 Dec 2005 at 23:30

hurrah

Very nice stats as usual Sir.

Did you miss any more tiffies? Cough Cough!!!

nope nope don't think I did

actually I was going to give you one for your 250K as it's such a nice number, the problem comes with the fact that you can't actually get a Tiffy to display for 225K or 275K (they would come out as 220K and 270K respectively on the stanford site) which is why I have stuck to every 20K over 100K

If somebody who is good with Graphics would be nice enough to come up with a few team tiffy designs then perhaps we could change to our own system - or i could just post tiffy's every 10K i suppose

edit: I could have course just post Tiffy accouncements for 25's and 75's even though you can't get a Tiffy which displays them - i might have to go for that for now unless anyone is particularly worried about it, I'm sure many would rather show off a 250K tiffy than a 240K or 260K anyway as it's just a nicer number
speaking of which...... get yer tiffy out for the lads!!!

Personally, I think that should be a yay

Someone will get it

ahahhhh - real men aren't afraid to write in pink

rich99million · 21 Dec 2005 at 23:35

oh well - there goes another Barton from the cause

my brother has changed around the network at home so one machine now has no connection - roll on X2 powaaahhhhhh (next year

)

Trick said:
Wireless?

well the long term plan is to get the machines out of home anyway as i don't like them being so far away with no real way of watching over them - i will hopefully be able to sell them as complete machines and help fund a mighty X2 beast

i was just miffed that i was at home last weekend and wasn't told that the move would be taking place so soon - there will be a part completed WU sitting on that machine till i can get home again now :mad:

rich99million · 23 Dec 2005 at 00:07

are you sure it's the exact same WU on both?
it can have the same Project Number (eg p1465) but if any of the Run/Clone/Gen numbers differ between the two then it's actually a different WU

Stan - good to hear you're a rig or two back up - bit of an expensive month for you though :eek:

my brother has really come through too - he's found an old 10BaseT hub and managed to wire it all up so both my machines have connections again

he also claims that his internet connection seems a lot more responsive now - though neither of us can see a good reason for that as if anything you'd expect the old hub to slow the system down a bit :confused:

ah well - friday tomorrow and last day at work for a little while - hurrah!!!

Hmm, I guess it isn't the exact same WU. Just seemed funky. Same amount of points for each one though?

it just depends really where the assignment server sends you at the time, if you download two WUs at the same time to two clients with exactly the same setup then you're more likely to pick up similar WUs

i'm guessing you managed to sort out the communications problem earlier - was it instability or something else?

edit: points are the same for every WU from the same project - you can see a list of all the projects and their related credit here
