magman's 25000 WU competition

magman · 10 Feb 2003 at 22:22

My 25,000th WU was sent in at 21:38, according to my queue.

I missed the actual event but I set the time on my queue server to match a Rugby Radio clock source so I didn't have to watch over it like a hawk.

The winner is walsherz.

The runner up is Widget.

It was a lot closer than I though it would be in the end. All I need now is for the winners to let me know their SETI email accounts and I will let them know when the cunchers start working for them.

You can email me at this address

I will look forward to hearing from you soon.

Finally, a big

for the compliment some poeple made regarding my production and a big

for those who underestimated my output.

Time to start saving for some new crunchers to go carbon8ed hunting.

If they don't reply...first dibs here

Berserker · 10 Feb 2003 at 22:46

So I can complete the promised bonus WU crunching, you'll also need to e-mail me at mark_v_gray (at) hotmail (dot) com. This applies both to winner and runner up.

I can see the winner stomping me as a result of my contribution :mad:

oi Mr kaiowas, you're crampin my style...but on the plus side if your h'enourmouse brainpower has miscalculated by 60 seconds I may be in with a chance.

But in the last minute rush to post my guesse i put the 11th instead of the 12th and as they say, the rest is history

Sorry about that, nothing personal.

I'd call a kolala sandwich pretty personal, you pair of pervs

Your punishment is 3 days loss of spankomatik privileges and donating the illgotten woos to me.

Berkeley is b0rked again, so I can't log on. If you could e-mail me a valid user_info.sah, I can start crunching that way (I got a big stash o' WUs, so that's not a problem). Addy in sig or above (beware spam prevention devices in the e-mail address - you'll have to edit it).

14) The prize is to be claimed within 1 month of the winner being announced.
15) The winner can't use the prize against me in any races (this is me getting a bit paranoid now!).

Nope - They're going to http://chronoton.dyndns.org:5517 - already 100 WUs in your Queue.

Rule 15 does not apply to stomping - only to league races - of which there are currently none.

However, the Q where your WUs are going is currently constipated.

Copy of my email sent to magman:-

I didn't realise there was a runners up prize until I saw the results message.

I would like my prize to go to Mr Whitworth please if he is willing to accept. It was down to his stats that I calculated my guess so I think the hardwork he puts into those stats everyday should be rewarded. I can easily make up 50 WU at my current production and it will help Mr Whitworth on the way to his next Tiffy !

There wasn't until I added some extra crunching powah to the competition.

Donation noted. I've already contacted him.

Slackworth · 11 Feb 2003 at 12:30

Thanks for the kind offer Widget, I will accept...

Thanks a lot guys, it does mean a lot to me

I had better go and issue a parp to everyone

-<=[Tw18]=>- · 11 Feb 2003 at 12:47

well done you big bunch of softies :eek:

no really it is a lovely gesture

Berserker · 11 Feb 2003 at 13:46

OK, Mr. adwhitworth - I've dedicated two other PCs to do your WUs. They have roughly half the output of the Xeon, so I'll just let them crunch longer.

magman · 12 Feb 2003 at 22:47

Sorry I haven't replied any earlier, but I've been on a training course for the last couple of days in Brum.

I've just switched the first cruncher over to walsherz's account and the other will follow once its finished its current WU.

There won't be any problems over a queue as well (thanks for the offers folks) as I've got nearly 700 WU's waiting im my queue at the moment anyway.

H'onwards and H'upwards for the good ship happy stomper.
