Yep bit annoying that, though we would have been 21st if we hadn't upped our output a fair bit alsoMGP said:Not so good though that we have dropped to 18 from 14 in production. Maybe we need to all rush out and buy overpriced PS3s

A poor week (or two) for me. 
PSU on my C2D died so that was out of action for 2 days until new one arrived along with a Samsung 226bw (to the wifes surprise
) and then I decided to retire the P4c. After untangling all the wiring and moving the Opty rig into sons bedroom I had probably been slacking for three days in total.
So I am now down to two PC's only with both running the WinSMP client as I got fed up with VMWare and Linux. Result is that ppd is now down to 2200-2400 depending on which wu's are running.
The upshot of all this is that cell 8 is now there for the taking boys and girls!
@stan
If I could, I would be you man. Excellent contribution to the team effort there.
@Rich

thanks for the news rich (was much better that my attempt - but then you've got time to burn how the hunt going btw)
Lots of new fokes, welcome one and all - especially the newly additcted
Great week for me, as back in the top 20 and both ID's gained 4 stomps lol. all thanks to those nice people at stanford and their SMP client.
@ d - you could always but your borg on another ID so that your main rig is a single cruncher attached to your total points score.
@ stan - you earn to much but to be honest you'd be as welcome here if you only had one rig. but still 10k a day!
@Mattus - nice one, now just sit back and watch the points roll in.

Cheers, first stupid Q! ive followed the guide and have done it the console now says completed 0 out of 5000000 steps (0) do i need to wait as nothing seems to be happening
It's now crunching. When it's 1% done it'll write another line announcing it. Be sure your CPU is pegged at 100% and you're fine.

so it's safe to reboot the machine and let it go on it's merry way? as i followed an hour ago rebooted and clicked the link that said my stats and it was all default.
Only checking as my comp at work will be left to work over the weekend

If you've installed it as a service you can reboot and it'll start back up when the system comes back up. You won't have any stats until you first submit completed work.
