...I set my Final Goal:

I wanna be a Big Dog again, and I can do it in ~74 Days. I've got a small farm of 3.2 GHz HyperThreadinBoxen, but most are Part Timers, only 45 hours/wk. I've risen 18 places up the LWD Team chart since April, and I've also reached many hundreds of other attainable goals.

So, wish me luck Mr. Green

They shut down new account creation a couple weeks ago, and no longer offer the client for download.

Will SETI Classique® still be alive long to let me get back in the Big Dogs?

Well I hope you make it buddy. Always nice to see dogs accomplish their goals. However, I think it will be closed down before. That small farm will work wonders fer Seti Boinc Wink

I finally broke the top 25. I am hopin to make the top 10 before it dies. I probably wont though. I remember passing you when I was making my run back into the Big Dogs. I had been as high as 29 then I stopped crunching. I think I fell well below 100 before I started crunching again.

Always good to see a dog reach his goals. Always glad to help. Just E-mail me a copy of your user info .sah.

Thanks RED Mr. Green

If only you knew all the goals I have met. I've stopped, disabled and uninstalled SETI several times, but it keeps pulling me back...Since it looks like it is finally shutting down for real, I thought I would get one last Hurrah.

Since I first read The Satan of SETI's Guide 4 years ago, I have steadily knocked off One Minute Average CPU Tyme per day ever since. I joined the Team with a hair under 30:hours Avg CPU, and at one tyme was around 90:hrs, but am now down to almost 11:hrs. If I reach the Big Dogs, I will also be under 10:hrs =D

I am currently crunching my entire 1st year's completed WU, every day.. Cool

but I won't be able to deploy BOINC to all my boXen @ work.

P.S., if you voted NO, are you willing to put your money where your mouf is? I'll betcha I can make it, and I think another donation to Fido is in order Very Happy

P.S.S., If you voted Yes and are willing to crunch using my user_info.sah, there could be an LWD Coffee Mug in it for ya Razz

good luck m8! i'll bet my best bone that you'll fig out a way to do it!

at the rate i'm going, w/only 2 boxes running classic & producing 4-5 wu per day, i'll fall about 1400 short of my 10k goal. hard to believe i been crunchin classic for 5 years now, @ 10 years of computer time on those puppies...seems like only yesterday whew! oh well, out w/the old & hopefully w/o classic i'll be able to throw a few more wu's into the boinc bowl everyday!

viva le seti!

There is some extra firepower *WOW* maybe I can do it in 30 days! Surprised

Thanks My Doggies! Mr. Green

Also shaved another :20 minutes of AVG CPU Tyme to 10:42 - at that rate, I can get under 10:00 in just a few more days.

GODBLESS the Final Goal!

I wish I knew who was crunching all "my" extra WU. It is well over a hundred per day in addition to my mini Dell Optiplex part timers ... I'm only good for ~55 a day, and got 162...

At this rate, I can be in the Big Dogs in 3 weeks or so.

I am so humbled.

Nothing like that!

I am the 'umble Benefactor of Someone's Generous Contribution. 243 WU yesterday - I am overwhelmed - At that rate, I could make my Final Goal by the end of July.

I CANNot Thank You Dogs enough...

[Edit]

Omigosh! I think I just passed BamZipPow ...

And I am betting that they are just waiting for the 2 Billionth Result, before they cut it off for good. That is like 65 Million WU...............2 months eh?

Whew! Retaking beast was a Goal I had long since given up on.
I was ahead of him when I first joined LWD, but not since.

Until now. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I can actually make it back in the Top 50 before the end of this month, at
the rate I am receiving credit - 10% of my Grand Total in the Past Week!
In fact, I could get up in the Top 20 in 3 months if ... if ...

Here is a snapshot of the Big Dogs way back when...
