    My newest pickup

    I've finally achieved something that I have sacrificed a lot for. I just wanted to post a picture of the end result and tell you guys to never give up on what you want. In the end it is well worth it.

    I'm helping an0nym0us crunch right now. When I had it going 100% 24/7 on Windows XP 64bit it was doing around 30k a day.

    I just switched to Windows 7 64bit and am trying to work out the bugs right now. I think I figured out how to let it crunch 24/7 (don't enable sleep mode or screen savers at all) right now, but I am not sure.

    I was thinking more along the lines of you creating a project that would be crunched on WCG

    Congrats on the degree. It should serve you well over the years.

    Now all you have to do is keep up with the developments in engineering to stay on your game... That seems to be getting harder for me to do over the years.

    Regards,
    Bob

    haha I just want to work in a local chemical plant or refinery to make a living.

    good luck on your Civil Engineering degree!

    btw if anyone has any leads on an entry level chemical engineering job, I'm all ears. Right now the market is so tight I'm considering moving almost anywhere if the money is right.
