    The bad.

    My wife works for RBC Bank as a business analyst, their US operation was sold to PNC Bank for $3.45billion yesterday, no idea what it means as of right now.. I hate uncertainty
    Congratz on making it longer than most. You must have picked a good one. Happy anniversary.


    As for the job, maybe everything will work out for the best.
    Just don't feel like this.

    Red,
    I have a good LLR machine on Linux to run it..... Please pm/email me if you have any specific instructions about settings. In anticipation, I will start clearing out the queue.

    I'll run it on the Intel 2600K, given it's not that great on AMD's

    Well, the fun starts tomorrow.

    Looks like it is just the three of us against the world.

    I've got 16 cores chugging on it. The slowest of them will only complete one WU every 9 days. The fastest claims it will take 70 hrs per WU. We'll see.

    I put my 8 quads on it. We'll see what happens.

    This one's really a "set it and forget it" challenge. There won't even be any stats to see until tomorrow. I keep checking BOINC out of habit, but it's just "2 hours out of 100 elapsed..." Right. I guess I should get back to work. A watched pot never boils!
