Dearie Me is that the Date?

Where does the time go? A shameful seven weeks since I last updated my blog. In my defense I've not been idle.

There's been a fair bit of action on the forum: The name change campaign is in full swing with "The Scottish Boinc Team" currently leading "Scotland's Boinc" & nobody at all opting to keep "Scotland's Seti" which even as a proponent of change I think is a little sad.

I've made a few changes to the website although keeping up with the number of project teams (26 at the last count) to be detailed on the Statistics Page is the sort of challenge that I'm inclined to just avoid.

I've also extended the Boinc Farm by bringing back from retirement an old Athlon XP 3000+ which just needed a PSU & HD to make it useful again. This might slow my decline down the ranks for a little while until I replace everything with Conroes! This gives me 3 cased, & 4 caseless rigs in the main bit of the farm. Just ridiculous - especially in the recent heatwave.

According to Boincstats we lost a great heap of members but I think that this is an accounting artefact. In fact we've gained a few (Hello to Marcus & Dalyplanet) and some long retired members have started crunching again. Particularly welcome was the return after illness of Ian (Buster) Gunn whom I for one had assumed was gone for ever.

Here's how we're doing. Quite well really.
