gonna leave you behind soon thought you wanted a bit of Shish too.

**meep** · 02-22-2006, 04:08 AM

hehe,

I am away at the mo' so just my server that is plugging away at DIMES...

I may add some more agents over the next few weeks - time is a problem though.

Aslong as I keep touch I can ramp it up later and stomp all over you

**Shish** · 02-22-2006, 04:52 AM

Well, I can only see Meep on the immediate threats list and I`m giving Fozzie a chance by not running another 5 agents.
Had to re-install a couple cos they kept dying as well and can`t see why there appears to be some difference between XP agents and Win2K in scoring.
Not much mind you but significant. may have to upgrade the "virtuals" to XP but I`ll leave the other 5 off to give Fozzie a chance as he`s huffing and puffing a bit

**meep** · 02-22-2006, 07:14 AM

I did not know there was a difference betweem w2k and wxp agents?

What sort of numbers are we talking about?

**Shish** · 02-22-2006, 03:23 PM

May be just a Dime but it also may be due to them being "Virtual machines".
I`ll upgrade them and let you know.

Nice humour Lauren....

**LAURENU2** · 02-22-2006, 06:44 PM

I try my best

But some times I don't have much to work with

**meep** · 02-24-2006, 04:56 AM

Hmmm, seem to have had some kind of outage last night. Think a power spike killed my server.

Agents are firing back up now but have lost quite a bit of work :|

Why didn't I use that UPS sat next to it

**Fozzie** · 02-24-2006, 07:56 AM

too embarrassed by being

by an Elf.

**meep** · 02-24-2006, 12:22 PM

No, I have not overtaken Elf... still on the hit list.

Things seem to be coming back together now......

**Shish** · 02-24-2006, 01:14 PM

Come on you two, I`m getting bored hanging back to let you catch up.

Seems a combination of Win2K and virtual machine=slightly less numbers.
Got 4 machines waiting for you before i fire up

Meep.

**Fozzie** · 02-24-2006, 01:55 PM

it may come true

**Shish** · 02-24-2006, 03:06 PM

Well, I`m away for the weekend looking at a new posh pub the boys have bought called "the Firefly". It`s got a big office in the cellar which is near super cooled so I may just take advantage of the space to fire some of the old farm up. Only 3 dual PIII Xeons and some odd Athlon XPs but around 12 in all and "free electric and cooling"

**IronBits** · 02-24-2006, 03:12 PM

Nice!

**Shish** · 02-24-2006, 10:26 PM

And, of course, some of the coldest beers from round the world on tap to sample. What more could an old dog want?

Big problem with DIMES is the amount of time it takes for agents & scores to settle down. Always about 48 hours for it to level out.

Since the outage I have added 7 more VPC agents and currently 2 (to be 4) agents on another internet link. I was at 40-44k per day before, so at least 55k'ish should come through over the next few days...

Only time will tell

**IronBits** · 02-25-2006, 04:25 PM

**Fozzie** · 03-06-2006, 08:36 AM

is on Meep's menu.

**Shish** · 03-06-2006, 10:26 PM

Yeah, you`ll get me soon as well cos most of my machines are busy doing other things just now (the ones with enough memory to run several VMs), and some machines are back with their owners and only running as and when.
TBH, I`m not too bothered as though I could add several machines, I have more important fish to fry.

**IronBits** · 03-07-2006, 12:04 AM

No

need.... more.... boxen.... It's always more boxen I tell ya!
I'll see if I can scare up about 16 more or so

**Shish** · 03-07-2006, 02:05 AM

No longer tempted

**IronBits** · 03-07-2006, 02:25 AM

That should do it...

**meep** · 03-07-2006, 07:48 AM

Wondered when you would notice

I may be forced to bring more elf catching agents online if you respond

Stats seem to have got a bit broken just now, see how we stand later.

**IronBits** · 03-07-2006, 10:11 AM

Maybe we can share some Muppet stew, which is just ahead.

**meep** · 03-07-2006, 01:02 PM

have you bundled some agents together or using the same agent name for several installs? I do not see how you can have one agent performing so many measurements... when the number per second is capped

**IronBits** · 03-07-2006, 10:25 PM

Absolutely! Just like PY 222

We are almost matching XtremeSystems in the dailys now.

How did you want your Muppet cooked?

**meep** · 03-08-2006, 01:22 PM

Big powercut at home last night - UPS' could not cope, somehow caused the router to come up in a s#*t state... only just got flat m8 to reboot it as I am away.

Measurements will start to creep up over the next few hours.

Not impressed.

**IronBits** · 03-08-2006, 07:50 PM

I was wondering what happened to your output.
Dang it!

**Shish** · 03-09-2006, 12:31 AM

How`s the bundling work IB? Just give them all the same number?
I`ve only got 2 machines working on this regularly now as the rest are farmed out and irregular or just too busy to run anything else.

**IronBits** · 03-09-2006, 07:52 AM

I just assign them the same node number...
When I start one up, I chose 'this computer already has had Dimes on it before', then put in my userID and password, it fetches all the IDs that are being used, so I scroll down until I see the node I want to use and select it.
It warns about something, just click ok, and you're off and running.

**IronBits** · 03-09-2006, 08:06 AM

With the addition of those few more nodes, we seem to be keeping XtremeSystems at bay now to

**meep** · 03-09-2006, 10:04 AM

Absolutely, in fact today we are stretching our lead.

I will try and add a few more agents this weekend on a different inet link to boost output a bit... muppet stew is going to taste really good

**Fozzie** · 03-09-2006, 04:42 PM

I'll get my legal people onto it see if they can issue you with a restraining order.

**IronBits** · 03-10-2006, 01:30 PM

We are secure in DIMES now. I added about ~40 VPC nodes

I could add that much again, but would require one new larger HDD and some memory upgrades to a few computers, and 2 OS changes, so I'll keep them in reserve if we need them.

with a side of 'legal people' will only add to the dish.

You Tha Man IB.

**PCZ** · 03-10-2006, 02:22 PM

IB

Linux or Windows VM's ?

Also is something up with Boks stats cos you have nil points today ?

**IronBits** · 03-10-2006, 02:41 PM

Windows... it's all I run these days.

At the 13:12 run it shows elf with 74,831
That's my brother TeeJay's handle for this project.
We crunch under each other's handles as we are one big happy family.

It was my large remote pharmage that he owns, and now takes care of without much help from me.

He also tossed on some VPCs for a little NOS loving...
-=*[ James Gang Racing Team ]*=-

My health is returning, so I am to <lol>
Oh, you have to guess which elf agent I use for my VPCs

**PCZ** · 03-10-2006, 03:53 PM

Oh so your ELF
