Massive points for tomorrow then! :up:
5.8, SIXm? anyone?:D
I haven't checked my pending WU's. But noticed my points have increased today by about 10%.
1150 BOINC Points in under 10 hours, where it usually takes me 12 hours to get 1000 :cool:
EDIT: 2 Pages of Pendings, is that a lot? ( For 4 systems )
For the crew in your sig? No, not especially. Consistent with a slow validation day.
WTF???? :shrug:
4,636,562 :down:
I'm sorry, my stuff was down until this afternoon.Quote:

( Get's out motivational speech #26 and climbs onto the soapbox):D
guys keep in mind the hurricane in HK so ddt and others maybe down.
also Florida had hurricane hit and then hit again so there is people down there that will be down.
I wasn't aware of that.. Haven't had the tube on in 2 days..Quote:

Good work everyone! I still think we're picking up momentum. It's a tough time of year for oc'd systems and there are bound to be more issues. Just think when everyone gets this worked out, we're going to have a huge fall and an bigger winter. :D
still a good day! :up:
Yup, am back full force again, finished installing everything in my new home. I'm looking for a way to put a rig in the garden, but it's a tough call:D:rofl: You guys have any idea what can i say to my beloved wifey so i can do it??Quote:

I don't want to go outside the law here.. :wasntme:
as long as you don't waterboard them i don't see why you can't call them............
Time to send those email out again...
ooh, waterboarding..Hey, legal for the US so I guess I can use that also!:devil:Quote:

Start by finding out who's inactive and ask if maybe they don't want their custom nick color and header.
congrats on getting your new home together, Jaime.Quote:

Or me showing up at the door for a short 14 day motivational session.:rofl:Quote:

It's a touchy thing. I've had guys actually PM me and say they were sorry but they couldn't continue for $$ reasons.Quote:

I tell them that when things get better for them we will be here and their chair at the table will still be ready for them.
Friends first, competitions and everything else follows that.
that i can understand, it's the ones who just want the extras are the ones that bother me, and no way to know.
I don't think it's unreasonable to trim folk who just vapour off without a word to anybody, so long as it's made clear that the tags/colours are for ACTIVE (or those considered active) members.

OR you add your income for the month and come up 50-100 short and look for ways to cut back.
Hard to get upset with someone trying to make ends meet and since I never know that person that well I take the position of trying to be the understanding person.
This is voluntary and can't get upset at anyone for doing the best for their families based on their circumstances.
Now I do try and wait a month -2 before asking that colors and titles be given out to see if the person is really into this or not.
Most of the ones that just want the color don't have the stamina to do this that long and peter out after 1-2 weeks..:D
I don't worry about the electric, I just put the little one on a treadmill. She's got more energy than all of us I think. :D
Over at home we let people keep their crunching bling, that's our policy. Anyone that says they're leaving for whatever reason gets a "thanks for your effort, don't be a stranger on the forums xoxo" kind of message with no grudges/bad feeling etc. I only get the 'ump if someone comes in, makes a lot of noise and then vapours off without a word. If someone did that at the local sports club they'd likely get some unkind retribution from the team.
All it takes is a simple, even private, message and everything's cool bananas. I've got more respect for someone that quits and tells me it's because I'm a a-hole than for "Houdini" who just vanishes without a word.
Damned straight..Quote:

Yeah well, I was kind of joking when I said take their titles. I say kind of because I know there are some that could crunch and don't for whatever reason.
cough..cough..slackers..cough
This can be an expensive [STRIKE]obsession[/STRIKE] hobby if you let it. I don't begrudge anyone who finds it's all a bit much financially. Family has to come first after all.
:shocked: you don't need food for the kids they can go dig up something for food but the crunchers need to eat :cord: :rofl:Quote:

2. hitchhike to work at least one day a week. Carry a bloody ax or chain saw and you're almost guaranteed to be picked up.
3. Only run your hot water heat for 2 hours a day. Whoever gets to the shower first - WINS :clap:
4. Only buy generic and store brands. And I'm not talking fancy stores like hoity toity Stop and Shop or Pathmark. I'm talking about stuff from the broken and damaged rack or brands that don't have any English characters on the label and can only be purchased out of the back of a rusty old van.
5. Don't buy new clothes until the number of square inches of patch material is greater than 50% of the garments over all area. And raid those chests of old clothes in the attic. I've heard that bell bottoms are making a come back. :up:
6. When you have guests over, tell them to bring gasoline instead of booze. You can easily brew enough rot gut at home to get everyone hammered and at the end of the night you've got a full tank of gas.
7. Money spent on toothpaste (unless you're using it for thermal paste), floss and dentists is a waste. If you're not crunching, how can you have anything to smile about?
8. The medical community doesn't want you to know this, but Robitussin will cure almost any common illness. The active ingredient (placebo) has been scientifically proven effective against numerous ailments.
9. Make recordings of the soothing sounds produced by your fans and hard drives and sell them on the internet as high tech meditation music. You'll be rich in no time.
10. Get your pets certified as therapy dogs and/or cats and rent them out for $40/hour. Just remember that if they come home without any cash, you gotta :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: slap 'em.
:ROTF:
There's definitely some keepers in that lot!
If you take my color at least give me some baby oil in return. :ROTF: :DQuote:
