    Oh, I agree totally, but if you take Rippchen and soak it properly in the saurkraut as is done very often, the two are a 'potent' combination. We also agree on that ?

    The next challenge starts on 26 August. It is for PPS LLR which means it is CPU only. Anybody going to help?

    lol my old x3 720 (3.2 Ghz) 40+ hours on a unit and beats my quad 6600 (3.2 Ghz)with ease with 55+ hours
    Funny is that most units start with a estimate of 70+ hours on the amd but end much faster
    While the q6600 estimates at start 50+ hours and ends more near the 60 hours

    EDT is GMT/UTC - 4 (summer time), EST is GMT/UTC - 5 (winter time)
    CDT is GMT/UTC - 5 (summer time), CST is GMT/UTC - 6 (winter time)

    All other adjust accordingly. Example... .In Summer, GMT 'midnight' occurs at Chicago 7:00pm.

    That help everyone?

    Chuck that is way too complicated for Lauren. It would actualy require him to do some math.

    Keep it simple. Chicago is on CDT and the challenge starts at 1800 UTC. That would be 1800 minus 5 hours which would make it 1300 CDT. Just to make it really simple, Lauren start them right after lunch.

    You guys have too much machines, and too powerfull ones
    Poor little me can't keep up, and suddenly not getting new woodall units on one machine.
    I have to look into it why it does not get me some, setting it to 10 days work cache did not solve it.
    And i allready killed the boinc debts as well, but the most weird is that it only happens on primegrid all other projects just do function normal

    Same here. We could also lose it, but some time after you do. I will keep eyes open on your location and decide whether to 'run for da hills' or not based on what you get. Most likely, we will just lose a few telephone poles (power, dsl, cable, etc...... you know, nothing major.... LOL).

    Hope you fair well through the storm. I have family out on the Cape and more right in V.B. We're all hoping for a more 'easterly route'

    Take care of yourself & fam.

    Strange that there's no forum thread for this challenge, like there has been in the past? I assume it is still on? I'm starting 14 cores on PPS LLR, assuming that it is.

    Edit: Sorry, there is a thread, it just wasn't linked from the Challenges Page.

    I came home and turned them on about 2:00 pm
    Then I went back to work. Later when I came back I saw the nodes had no work
    Found out I was working a Old project
    updated my account and all my nodes, all is working now

    You know me I am stupid on details and I am a slow starter but I get up to speed fast

    If this is so a lot of my WU's will not count in if they are clocked in at 2 to 3 day to run
