OcUK Captains Log - The Great Pirate Hunt

[Mattus]

A sleeping lion has awoken. What you got, ye dastardly corsairs?

 

[booyaka]

sweet graphs!!! is that the best you can do pirates!

Pirates????

They gone very quiet around here!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Goodspeed(TPF)]

Quiet?

Don't think ye' be puttin a muzzle on us just quite yet there buckos. Last check we're still ahead with blue skys above. Yer fleet isn't even a glimmer in my telescope yet. When I SEE you, I might start to load the cannons. But until then, good wind in yer sails and blue skies for ye'.

 

[squeeks]

I wonder what sort of distraction they will be to those pesky pirates. Probably not that much. They seem to be more into sheep.

 

[MikeTimbers]

HaloJones (normally of TGC in FAH) has contributed a dual-core to your efforts (TGC doesn't do BOINC)

 

[Adnams Drinker]

No Quad here, but I have a comparatively lowly E6600 on the case - one WU done and another two with roughly 45 minutes left - as Tesco would put it, "every little helps" ...

 

[shadowscotland]

good to have you both aboard

 

[MartinBen]

Now I've reached a milestone in Seti I might move my QX9650 onto this project for a while if thats any help?

 

[TheTross]

Definitely! Every rig helps

 

[Peter-B]

Dam & Blast, I'm on holiday!

Can't wait till I get back on the 12th.

I guess by they you will have sunk those pesky pirates!

 

[FrostedNipple]

I'll man the cannons Full speed ahead captain

 

[Goodspeed(TPF)]

Looking with telescope.

Still nary a single one of your ships in sight. Seems we be safe fer today. Time ta relax. Now where be the rum?

 

[edgedemon]

I be willing to join this fray - 1 dual core laptop paddling away

Its not much, but Im going for my first million on Seti, so dont want to drag too many cores away..

 

[Stan_Lite]

I couldn't not join in

The only thing I have available to me on the rig is this old M1710 with it's lowly T2600 CPU (that's not strictly true, I do have the Asus Eee but I don't think the 900MHz Celeron will do much for my output ).

Installed last night (remembered how from my last little foray into the world of Rosetta) and been crunching away merrily since. It's switched "not on" for about two hours a day whilst I tote it around at each end of my shift. looks like I'll be getting around 250-300 cobblies per day going by output so far.
Only a fraction of what I could do if I was home but every little helps

Edit: Forgot the obligatory piratespeak. Shiver me timbers, splice the mainbrace and make the scurvy dogs walk the plank ..........etc.

This is the most interesting thing that's happened around here in ages and I get to miss most of the action - s'not fair

I have an XPS M1710 and It's been one of my favorite PCs. How do you like yours?
Glad you're enjoying the Boarding Party. We've been havin' a blast with it too. Glad ta have yer ships, however small in the race. BTW. If you load Boinc on yer eeePC I'll load it on mine. I dare ya. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

Stan, this Goodspeed fella claims to be a whisky drinker. You might want to review his whisky tastes to see if you approve. I think there's a link in one of the first few pages of this thread.

Love my M1710. Plays all my games, great screen, lovely big keyboard, nice and quick. Been having a few little troubles with the graphics lately though. I changed out the HDD for a 160GB 7200rpm one and stuck Vista on it. After that I seem to be having trouble with what looks like the GPU/memory overheating. I'm not sure whether it's crappy drivers (no Vista drivers for the Go 7900GTX so using modded inf) or graphics card on the way out.

OK. You're on I'll load up the Eee in the morning as it's in the office outside and I can't be bothered to go fetch it now.
Harharharharrrrrrr!!

I tried to have a look but the picture seems to be in a seekrit section so I couldn't see what it was - maybe I'll sign up

 

[Berserker]

Yeah, it is. I'm sure they won't mind you signing up - they're being invaded anyway so one more won't hurt.

It's the reason I registered, curiosity was getting too much . Good choice of dram though I must say!

They seem a decent bunch over there too

We be much obliged at the kind words mate.

Feel free to come on over and register at The Pirate Fleet. We don't bite...... Much. Keep me posted on your eeePC doings. I think it would be fun just to see it crank out one WHOLE WU. lol
