May 25th Update

Over a month since my last post tsk, tsk!

Anyhow , in that time I upgraded my Boinc Farm with the addition of an AMD Athlon64 Dual Core 4400+! Nice. This has helped halt my decline down the ranks and I'm now dropping about 2 places per week rather than a place per day. I reckon I can keep top 600 for the rest of the year and top 1000 for ever.

The team's doing nicely, holding its own, while not quite managing any major breakthru.

The details are:

Last update 23:55 24 th April 2006
This update 23:45 25th May 2006
Total Active Members 200 (+6)
Recent Active Members 115 (+4)
Total Credit 12,670,768 ((+1,026,042)=33.1K/day)
Overall Boinc Place 71st (-1)

Something that might produce a breakthru would be a merger with the Scotland BBC CCE team. Friendly communication has been established with their leader Ian, who seems to be refreshingly free of the desperate paranoia that afflicts some of his team members.

Snowdog has initiated discussions and a poll on the forum which so far shows that of the few people expressing an interest most of us are broad minded about the prospect of a name change and would like to work with Scotland.

We'll see what happens.
