100,000,000 credits is not a bad tally & one that only 244 boincers have managed before. Clawing my way back to TSBT #2 isn't too bad either, even if the, hopefully temporary, inactivity of Nightlord & JockMacMad are the main things making that possible.
All of this has been achieved without resort to the sort of PC-excess that was a problem before. I'm not as down-sized as I was but from a peak of 10 machines (not including laptops & dodgily borrowed work PCs) I now have 7 PCs (2 of them serving a practical purpose to other members of the household) and no laptops or work PCs being bothered. Together these seven machines have 30 CPU cores, 6 NVidia GPUs & 3 ATI GPUs are allowing me an output of at least 400K per day.
Did some work on the website yesterday. I got the twitter thing working again but the overall effect is to put it politely inconsistent & incomplete. I must get to it.

I'm back!
After 16 months I unaccountably felt the need to post again.
Quick update.
TSBT scaled the giddy heights of 15th at one point but are gently floating back down although still crunching mightily. We held UK #1 slot for some months but UK Boinc Team wrestled it back from us. We are closing in on our second billion.
On the personal crunching front I finally managed to get my Boinc Basement built, moving the heat and noise of the farm out of the house, freeing up space for the family and giving me my own playroom.
I've regained the TSBT runner-up slot (steve at 1.2 billion is uncatchable!) and in the next day or two hope to pass 100 million.
Tonight I added my second i7 CPU. Specially for the Aqua crunch.
I must sort the website and get that bloody Twitter widget working properly. It was grand for a while but now seems well knacked.
