It's been for ever since my last post. I did write a couple of banal paragraphs on the blogger App for iPhone but neither uploaded. So here goes again.
Team News
As predicted we drifted down the league table in the absence of the Welsh Wizard. But not that far really. We seem to have stopped at 29th which from 95,000+ competitors is respectable. The worst case scenario would have us 33rd by the end of this year. But a few new members, or returning old ones, would save us a drop.
The forum has been quiet but we do get the odd new member sifted at great expense in terms of time & tedium from 300 plus bogus members each day.
Of the many new members the most prolific is Janos who has gone from Zero to nearly 80 million in less than 4 months! Awesome.
Personal Boasting
I made top 100 and last time I checked I was 85th overall. Which is nice.
And I've done it despite no major new hardware acquisitions. Not a single GPU have I acquired since the ones mentioned last summer. I think my hardware addiction is at an end. Or maybe it's just that I've achieved the top 100 ambition and going for, say, top 10 would require such a ridiculous effort & expense that there's no scope for anything apart from resting on my laurels. I'm only running 4 machines in the basement and for the first time since we built it spring has sprung (sort of) without it being hellish hot by April.
