    BOINC has gotten a lot nicer since it first came out

    I'm using BAM! as my BOINC account manager - makes it a lot easier to manage boxes that aren't at the same place (or lots of boxes)...not sure if anyone else uses it but can recommended it over just using the standard account manager

    yeah BAM is easy to use just need to setup an account which it helps you do - use this url boincstats.com/bam when you select "attach to an account manager" otherwise it don't work - I erm disconnected mine a few months ago and forgot to reconnect so I know it's easy enough to do just needs the right url.. if you put that url into a browser it redirects to bam home page which is a different url.

    Just hit a bunch of 11-12 hour WUs - nice points for those (~350+) but they're the longest ones I've seen so far...

    I see on the Aqua forums this is correct - new batch is around 10 hours...might be an issue for some as Aqua doesn't do checkpointing atm.

    Also saw they were saying that there may be some WUs coming that take a day or so to do

    I just finished two 12 hour WUs. I have no idea about scoring.

    Yeah Colin, you've probably got as much power if not more than you had before...
