Title: WCG the race is on!
Post by: acrux on August 06, 2009, 02:06:45 PM
Just looking at the our boinc@Australia Team Stats page on the WCG pages sorted by points generated http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=2MH9NS9PP1 and see a few familiar names jockeying for position.

veebee  15/12/06   1:257:10:34:10   1,663,080   4,297  
dyeman  8/03/09   1:241:04:18:22   1,636,021   2,936  
acrux  11/03/09   2:060:00:34:47   1,607,206   2,856  
rodjownsu  17/05/09   1:215:15:56:10   1,601,486   2,491

I am crunching only Clean energy project right now to try to get Ruby before this phase finishes. 

Neat to see veebee crunching for this project again. Also two others who started at about the same time as me. I daily see one or other of us getting the lead. :rocks

Well Done Indeed. I must admit the only reason I don't crunch for this project is that despite the fact that the science is good I really hate their site layout. It's hard to find anything and I really don't like their points system etc. I won't keep whinging ( getting old ) but that's why I don't crunch for the project

Don't think you have any worries for a while Mark lets see 11,038,452 vs 1,625,785 I have about 15% of your total points! Doesn't mean you shouldn't keep on your toes though.  :yahoo:

I do admitt this is a race for 31st to 34th place, but it is a race non the less!

I must admit I have slowed down on WCG for a while... my attempt at getting into the top 500 (overall, worldwide) was beginning to take on a somewhat backward trend....

once I get there (just to see that I CAN get there), I WILL be shutting down one of the quads (save for "AA's") and be switching or to basically WCG, Climate and GPU grid, with a touch of other projects here and there.

I am back on WCG and I will try and get up to a million then pick another project.  It will take a long time as I am only crunching with a couple of PC's and the credit is not that great.  Every little bit helps and the science is good at WCG.  :rocks

Finally got my Clean Energy Project (before it ran dry) up to Ruby so I'm stoked. Only about six more to do now!

Congradulations acrux. Those wu's are hard to get now. I am not going to get a "greenie" before phase 1 ends. +1

Congrats Acrux +1.

That also explains why I haven't even accrued a bronze in Clean Energy *sigh*

There may be a few days left on Clean Energy, the best way to get work units is to only select that one WGC project then you get higher priority. How many days do you have to go for bronze? I also select to have ten days buffer so that I can get as many as possible of the units I am working on.
;D

I tried "limiting" my WU's to clean energy... waited until it asked for WU's by itself.. and got 15 NOT- clean energy ones ! haha

Finally got the green on Flu, this is ironic as I also got the Flu at the same time :-/ I hope there isn't a link...(worries about other projects and what he might catch)!

Congratulations on your green Flu.  :thumbsup:

I don't think you need worry about a link, I had some nutritious rice today and I'm not even crunching that project.  biggrin

Yeah suppose your right, being a Kiwi I find these things very confusing  :wave:

Only crunching two projects to get them to Ruby at present, Musular Dystrophy and Fight Aids. These new badges are much more of a challenge, glad they brought them in.
