Project Update

[Mysteron347]

Well, les grenouilles are still gaining - albeit at a lesser pace. Currently outcrunching us by 70K/day and 109 days behind. Looks like I'm on POGS for the duration!

[Dingo]

They have dropped their crunching power, and so have we.  I am not on POGS 100% now but still using some cores for pogs.  I think at one time it was up to 25 days so we have a bit of a reprieve but still need to crunch some POGS. 

[Dingo]

Received this email when I was out of internet on the road.  The Team has been merged and we are shown as the #1 Team.

Hey Dingo,

As you may be aware we are merging theSkyNet Alliance system with the BOINC Team system. As a leader in our community we are endeavouring to keep you informed.

Your Alliance, "BOINC@AUSTRALIA" appears to be a duplicate (see old  and new ). Early next week (2nd of December) we plan to merge the systems. When that happens both your alliances will merge (users and all credit) and you will remain the leader. Please note that backdated credit will only apply to theSkyNet, not BOINC, as we have no way of manually assigning credit in BOINC.

One issue that we foresee is any user who is currently in your alliance who is NOT a member of POGS will need to manually re-join your alliance and join POGS, I will be emailing each user who is in this situation.

If you have any questions or if you do not wish for the above alliances to be merged, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards

Those guys know how to run a project.  Good work.

And yay for #1! 

[JugNut]

Yep you got to give them credit for trying.      Now if only some of the other projects would follow there lead we'd be in business.

[Mysteron347]

Pierre is still creeping up on us....

As some may already know POGS has ran dry of work.  Difficulty with maintenance during the break now mean there may be no work until thursday 30th 23rd Jan. (3 more days)

The maintenance is taking longer than expected - we might not be ready until Thursday

It's possible I read the calendar while half asleep & also through one bleary eye that was half shut at the time.  biggrin  Well that's my excuse & i'm sticking to it.
Yea next Thursday..    Thanks for the heads up mate..

[JugNut]

*LOL* It appears as if Kevin's calendar works stranger than mine as WU's are now flowing again ahead of schedule.  crunch, crunch, crunch...

[Mysteron347]

With the current trend, Pierre will catch us in about 3 days...

[kashi]

Sacré bleu!
OK, switching over now. With a 7 day challenge starting tomorrow it may not help much but every little counts.

[Dingo]

I have everything I have on POGS now, but not doing too well on the road. Looks like Pogs is the favourite so far in the Poll as well.  biggrin

[JugNut]

After a small excursion to try a new Primaboinca app, i'm back at POGS full on also.  Albeit minus one rig that passed away a couple of days ago through a blown power supply.  :cry2:

If we are to have any hope of holding POGS at all then it's all hands on deck...  Even then it's not looking good, but it's not the ozzie way to give up without a fight, is it?  Lock & load those core's & prepare to eat lots of frogs legs.   biggrin

If you got em' crunch em'.   


PS @ Dingo:  Could you please put the team into the "Galileo Galilei - 450 anniversary of the birth" POGS challenge.  We may as well be part of the action.

[Dingo]

Joined the Challenge, haven't been to the boincstats site for a while, have to put it on a list of websites to visit while I am on the road.  I hope all or most of the Team contribute to the AA  

I also joined the "Examine a Galaxay not so far ..far away challenge" at POGS that is one during the AA.
