Better late than never ..........

btw lads, congrats on us passing the 500k RAC mark, I think we should be able to nudge it that much more to hit 600k and surpass overclockers.com

Fantastic isnt it and 600k is happening

so have 3 weeks to get that done and unless i can find someone to house my pc's and the £4.50 a day it costs to keep em running i am looking at some serious downtime. The only good thing of course is that this will give Mr Halz a good opportunity to parp me lol

Sorry to hear about your situation mate, hoping to see you back upto speed asap
£4.50 per day - I think my limit would be half that, if only the initial investment of solar power was not so high I would have used it as supplimentary power already.

 

[ToxicTBag]

Ooooh shiny tiffy for Mr Halz....A large pat on the back for that one, very well done sah

 

[derk]

Also, whats happened to ReaVer?? I know he was really threatening me and bob

I have been wondering about Reaver as well, probably family related, usually is when people drop off the grid.

Hope things work out for him and he's back to normal as soon as possible.

 

[derk]

Toxic, does this mean your rigs will be completely offline during the the rewire, I ask because you may be crunching from more than one location.

Also, what happened to that friend of yours that was going to crunch for the team ?

 

[Marine Iguana]

Nice work Halz

Damn bit of bad luck Tbag If only I could house your rigs lol only have enough room for my own 1

Least its not me whose getting any bad luck last year or so has been a nightmare for me and raging at the machine for being gay

 

[edgedemon]

(with edgedemon in there to remind him of impending stompage )

Damn you sah - that was a cruel public humiliation and reminder of my impending slide down the table..
But he who laughs first.....

Morning Halz nope they're all crunching from home, afraid i opened my big mouth about the elctric and scared her off, am going to see if she'll house mine for a few days.

Nice work Halz

Very true Edge....but i think with your new toy and your reserves being called out you'll make it through

Indeed, I am currently nursing a very hurt right hand after hitting it with a hammer , whilst getting a bolt out from my car so much pain and blood it was awesome although typing has become somewhat slow

Blimey, well my monitor just isn't the same since yesterdays tbagging looks like the high street for an air conditioner too, damn shame that an 800d case gets so warm it shuts down - gawddd knows what else...no i won't even finish that sentence

 

[picnic]

Got up to 33ºC in my office yesterday. Didn't dare turn the aircon thing on in case it tripped the circuit

 

[ToxicTBag]

Good grief picnic i thought mine was bad at 31 and to think this is only the start of it.
Going to have to spend money on an aircon as rigs are not watercooled i dread to think what july and august might be like

Damn straight!

Disk usage on the server runs at 1.1GB/day, and it was down to 7.2GB. I'm sure I don't have to spell out the rest.

Disk space currently 43GB free and climbing, slowly.

Way to go sherlock . At least that explains why you took so long to reply to my charming e-mail

 

[Marine Iguana]

Sherlock! Didn't help that last week I ripped a muscle in my side after getting stuck under the foot well and steering wheel and my mate just standing there laughing at me

Twas a very nice email

I'm am trying to climb higher with my RAC now at 12k so no way to hold you off for now

 

[Senture]

Don't forget that mine will take a nose dive thanks to the loss of the 2 GPU's and the quad core Xeon :\

 

[Marine Iguana]

So how many CPUs will that bring you down to and RAC average you reckon, losing GPU's is not fun (well it can be )

 

[Senture]

I think with the loss of that machine I may go sub 10k RAC but if I can clear the work cache from the little machine running, I can take the card powering that (not CUDA capable) into the bigger one for some additional fire power. That'll take a few days as I don't want to default on the WU's downloaded.

I was not making reference to your server just the time I took to post it, chill already.

Thanks for continuing to provide the use of your server for the team, we would be screwed without it.

Any chance you could make the stats generator accept GIF images, would produce a better looking result with a smaller file size.

 

[ToxicTBag]

Seems to be a ton of work available today..grab it while you can!

 

[derk]

Reaver's back on the job - a 1/4 Million sweet woo's dumped yesterday, way to go mate
