Rowpie's been nagging me to update this so here goes.
Merger negotiations are starting in earnest with Scotland, with our opening gambit being 4 of us moving from the SS BBC CCE team to the Scotland one. This practical demonstration of the benefits of merger has been much better received than any earlier abstract discussion ever was. Maybe in a month or so we will have a single unified Scottish team, with nearly 15 Million credits in the bank and earning about 60,000 per day. If it could be done then we would be a top 50 contender in no time at all.
I can see a lot of emailing and forum posting being involved. So far there has been no serious opposition to the idea of a name change on the forum. The wider membership might be more conservative.
The current team position is
Last update 23:45 25 th May 2006
This update 21:00 24th June 2006
Total Active Members 205 (+5)
Recent Active Members 101 (-14) A bit worrying!
Total Credit 13,413,349 ((+742,581)=24.8K/day)
Overall Boinc Place 73rd (-2)
Obviously lending 172,ooo credits to another team doesn't help the accounts in the short-term!
On the personal crunching front I've set myself the following priorities (don't ask why I just have):
1.Concentrate on BBC CCE. I've got myself in 41st place overall for it and would hope I could maybe make the top 25.
2.Run LHC@Home for 50% of my capacity if work is available.
3. Run Einstein on my slower PCs until my TC for this matches my CPDN TC and the team breaks 1 million.
4.Then run SETI on the slower PCs to see if I can at least make it to the top 20,000.
Overall I'm holding steady at about 540th, which is still top 0.1%.
