[FAD]Stats for Saturday 11th December 2004

[Win2Kuser]

Greetings and salutations fellow XPC crunchers, and welcome to the mid-weekend wind-down/recover from hangover session. Great days crunching again, 1.3 million points uploaded, and more importantly, over 56 thousand hits recorded and over 3 quarters of a million molecules checked - Some going indeed :D

Well this being Saturdays stats means that the compo generously ran by Kev and Rea is now at a close, so fingers crossed everyone, and may the best person win :)

I guess I'll have to find something else to occupy myself with now then, I completed Half-Life2 earlier...
Wow, what a game, I cant remember a game that has sucked me in as much as this has since probably HL1. Very immersive, great graphics, great gameplay and definately a contender for GOTY. Only a couple of niggles really, the Steam malarkey :bs: and the friendly AI was lacking a bit - i.e. they seemed to love getting killed. I think I might load up a few cheats and have a play with it now - it's hard to wander around looking when you're being fired on constantly...

Anyway, you didn't come here for game reviews, so I'll get on with it :P

Some very strong output coming in across the table, and a few good rank changes.

It still surprises me at how active this team is, ok it gets a bit quiet on here at times, but when it comes to crunching, 69% active member base is the highest out of all the teams :D

I hope you all feel proud to be a part of something so great.

Onwards and upwards team XPC :D

Congrats to the MDS's :D

POSITIVE QUOTE OF THE DAY
-----------------------------

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look
so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been
opened for us.

>I have at least 4 systems down currently and hoping to bring at least half back on tomorrow

what could have taken down 4 machines?...bad power?

stopped by the bookstore earlier...and discovered that clive cussler's latest Dirk Pitt novel was out in paperback. hurrah! :) for those who haven't read the Pitt books, i highly recommend them.

i was also thinking about getting the donald westlake Dortmunder (sp) books but i don't know anyone who can vouch on their goodness...?

looks like i've need to pull myself away from the comp tonight & do a little reading. :D

i dunno...i liked their last album 'All That You Can't Leave Behind' well enough. i do notice in their last few albums they've added a lot more bass to their sound...which is fine for a few songs but certainly not for everything.

[Paul W]

Wow, I have really been drawn back to U2 with their last couple of albums. I think they sound better than ever.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.

I have 2 machines off atm, the 2.2 GHz that broke, and our 1.6 Ghz laptop, because Deb has been worried about it running 24/7.
Whatcha gonna do? ;)

[sharder8]

Thanks for the stats Winkie!! :P

Congrats to all! :D

Looks like that power outage in the first part of the week cost me dearly! :( Not sure I'll be able to break the 280K mark for the week (and that was after adding more power and finding a 1700+ down and getting it back on-line! :rolleyes: ).

Oh well . . . putting more distance between me and Jack Slacker and cutting the distance from BS is still the goal! :D

Harder

the 4 << they didn't come down all at once. one has been down for maintenance for a while one was taken down to make room for a paying customer's pc one was taken down to re-configure the hardware and do a clean install for a possible sale one was taken down to upgrade to /A64/3500+/S939 ( still tweaking )

I've been real sick AND lazy, so the fact that thye've been down hasn't really motivated me much. Hell, I haven't even bothered putting replacing the stock heatsink on the S939 machine, with the XP-90 yet, even though I've had it at least 5 days. I did install the DDR Booster though. :)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A buddy brought over the new U2 album last night, for me to check out.

I guess it's been a week for CD's for me. After buying maybe 5 CDs, over the last 3-4 years, I went nuts, all of a sudden. Bought two copies of the Trans Siberian Orchestra Trilogy CD/DVD box set ( going to see them, live, next Saturday night. w00t! ). I also bought Eminem's latest, Encore, Train Live, and the new Nirvana 3 CD/ 1 DVD box set of unreleased stuff.

Guess I'm all disced out for a while! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still have this friggin' cold, but feel I might have started turning the corner with it, after a stinking week of having it. At least I hope I turned the corner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, who won tonight?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Nough out of me!

How is the Nirvana box set? I wanted to buy it, but then my money went to World of Warcraft instead.

[Wizzard~Of~Ozz]

U2 I've found thier last album to be excessively repeatative, and it just bothers me, again, personal opinion :D

From what I've heard the Nirvana box set is good, it's sales would say that's right, but I've only heard 1 or so tracks..

[serlv ( Zippy )]

Sound quality is down from more polished studio releases, but that is to be expected. Gonna go check out disc 3 now.

Still haven 't checked out the U2 album...

I am normally not into RAp, but i definitely like the Eminem album. Itis more about the insights he sometimes exhibits and the giving of a voice to feelings we probably all have. What I could with less of is "woundedness" and perhaps misogyness of some of it. his stuff is his therapy. I connect with some of it. I like rebels and people who fight the system.

Went into the computer room. Haven't been in their much lately. found 2 more down; one of which had been down since Nov.22 and one down for two days. They are both back up now.
