Who wants to be a millionaire?

I am!

I crunched my one millionth credit today: the first in the team to do so (although at least 3 others could join me by the end of the year); the 40th in the UK; and the 422nd overall to do so.

Not too shabby or what?

uFluids Dissappointment

I'm surging up the uFluids ranks (top 400 already & dragged the team, ie Snowdog & moi, up 19 places to 66th) so I should be pleased. But I'm not, as my overall prodctivity has plummeted from about 3000/day to 1200/day.
Now, some of this is due to to me having quite a lot of credit pending for E@H as well as uFluids (nearly all of this should be allocated to me in due course, although now I remind myself, Predictor@Home has owed me 1300 credits for months now, grr...). The main problem, however, is that the uFluids program just doesn't seem to work properly on some of my machines.
What seems to be happening is that some workunits are completing and disappearing and I get neither credit nor pending credit. My computers divide clearly into the produce and produce-nots so as a preliminary measure I'm detachng the program on the latter, and will be watching the others carefully.
Anyway, with my productivity restored I hopefully will become a boinc millionaire tomorrow. :-)

uFluids Update

So far so good.
I got joined up & got some work without any hassle (not always easy with the smaller projects). After less than a day & running the project part time I've got 157 credits (twice as much pending) and lie in 1169th place (admittedly out of 1591 productive users). The team's up 1 spot to 85th as well.

Lets see if I can make the top 100 within a week! Or would that just be showing off?

uFluids Project

I've probably risen as far in Einstein (85th) and CPDN (162nd, I used to be 74th you know) as I'm going to so I think I will add to my portfolio the uFluids project. This is one of the smaller projects. So far the only member of the Scotland's Seti team is Snowdog. On his own he has brought the team to 86th place with 2086 credits. It shouldn't be be too hard to make rapid progress up the ranks in a small scale newish project, so come on give it a go. The project URL is http://www.ufluids.net//

State of the Team 22 Jan 06

Hmm....

Just tried to do a post setting out a few stats in tabular form about the team. Looked fine until I previewed it when it became obvious that this post editor thing is WYSIWYG-NOT. Totally unreadable so I'll give up for tonight. Any advice on getting tables into these things?

It works.

Thanks to all those kind enough to have bothered to visit the site & especially comment on the blog.
News-wise Scotland's Seti have passed the 8,000,000 CS mark although we've slipped back to 67th place. Which is still pretty good out of over 39000 teams: In particular we are one of few teams to be top 100 for all 4 main Boinc Projects).
Now I know I've got an audience I'll set to building the under construction pages and also get advertising the team.

Happy New Year/Happy New Website

The new website is launched on time and fairly complete. Hope you like it, or at least see it. I await comments with baited doodah.
