Overall Boinc Place 70th (static)
My own Boinc farm has been augmented by a Sempron 3100+which I've built for a couple of friends and will be testing for a few days. Call me a sad geeky git, I'll not deny it, but there are few pleasures like slotting together various bits and finding that you've successfully brought another computer into the world.
On a less satisfying note, my internet car selling has all turned a bit sour. The buyer, who is in the motor trade, now claims that the car, which he inspected & drove 500 miles home, and on which I had spent nearly £500 making sure that the body work was as good as new, has body work defects which, "if I'd spotted them at the time I'd have walked away", and "really it should cost £1800 to sort out but my mate will put it right for £300". None of these however show up on the photographs that I've invited him to send me as "it's too shiney!" All of which invites a four word reply, making condensed but witty metaphorical reference to coitus, travel & mortality, but which I have so far resisted in favour of civilised negotiation.
Finally I'm a wee bit dissapointed to see that my blog is only getting a couple of hits per day. Still, given the number of Blogs around it was probably unrealistic to expect this one, however exquisite my insights into distributed computing, and, however exciting the other meagre glimpses of my life I offer you, to become required cult reading overnight. C'est le internet!
