Just you wait Rick_Deadly

[Rizzo]

Despite my weekly production being much higher than yours, it has taken about 3 weeks for me to pass you (mainly because I lost a whole weeks worth of crunching with crashed clients, which was during the drag race). And you have just dumped to jump above me, again.

I will, eventually, pass you for good, but unitl then... don't get too cocky.

Hi Rizzo, Love to see frendly taunting, but this should be posted in the Brag section.:)

Can one of the mods move this thread?

[phil]

Done.

As you can see we were both down for about a week. I won't be that easy to pass. Let the challenge begin :)

You'll have to produce about 1100 units a week to stomp me though :) :D

[Rizzo]

Well I did start after you, quite a lot after you as far as I can tell... and have managed to catch you so far.

I crunch about 30 genes a week at the moment, don't know what that is in units, but around 700 I think (was last week).

What do you mean, I just started last week ;)

I don't really know my weekly output, so we'll have to keep an eye on it for a week. :p

[dnar]

Hust started last week my foot!!! Glad too see someone is keeping you on your toes old chum! (I do miss our old leepfrog days, oh well, running over frogs in the tank will have to do).


:cool: :cool: :cool:

Ben... you still here? You didn't quit did you? I couldn't find you on the stats page. :confused:


Oh, I know what it is, my sore neck is keeping me from looking DOWN :) Hehe... ROTFLOL :D

[stall6g]

Don't look now dnar but that blazing fireball that just went past you on the stats was me.:D

[dnar]

Thanks for the wave as you passed me!:cool: :cool: I have a tow rope, any chance of a tow?:rolleyes:

Ouch-a-rooney. You'll have to move on without me Ben, I'm afraid I can't keep up with that :( Have fun at the top.

I'll see you up there a little later :)

[Rizzo]

OK Rick... I've been looking at the data, and it is goign to be very close.

http://genome.lusers.net/util.php?gtype=2&id%5B%5D=29&id%5B%5D=28&x=8&y=16

If you look at the first part of the graph, up to 7/25 then your production is a one rate, then you miss a week, and then your production rate rises slightly.

If you can keep up this new level of production then it will be a very close race, but if it is just to do with you missing a week and the graph updating, then I will move away from you.

Only time will tell.

[siggy]

Well I think you are both doing great. Keep up the WUs.

<HUGS> for both of you.

[Rizzo]

<Hugs back>

Thank you very much, I needed that.

But I will beat him :)

Hey Ben...

I've got a Video card, 6GB HD, NIC, CDROM and a few other parts :)

Just have to buy myself a mainboard and CPU, then I'll be back in the race. Just have to convince the wife my new firewall/fileserver/router is more important than food :)

Maybe Code Red will do that for you.:rolleyes: :eek: :D

[Rizzo]

The thing is, if you look at the total power page, then you actually have about 500Mhz more than me.

[wbierman]

I think I passed all of you last week...nary a peep from any of you.

Sorry about not noticing your rise to power :) I usually only look at the "combined stats" page by Dyyryath, so you've always been way ahead of us :)

That, or I couldn't figure out what the grey blur was that went zooming by :D

[Rizzo]

OK... an update.

If you look at this page:

http://genome.lusers.net/util.php?gtype=2&id%5B%5D=29&id%5B%5D=28&x=14&y=14

It is now clear that your production hasn't increased. And my wonderful staircase will eventually pass you for good :)

Even if you hadn't lost that week of production I would still have passed you, just a week or so later.

[Rick_Deadly]

Pass me for good... hahahahaha, you make a me laugh :) :D

Pass me for a short period of time, is more like it. I never say die, just cya later alligator :rolleyes:

[Rick_Deadly]

Update 11Aug01 08:30hrs EST DST...

Rick_Deadly charges ahead of the incognito "BenGeorge".

Rick_Deadly 44 +1 6497(6497) 375
BenGeorge 45 -1 6477(6477) 419

A massive lead of 20 work units that, I'm not sure if Rizzo will ever overcome :)

It's probably the last time I'll pass you :( But you never know :)

[Rizzo]

20 WU... is that it.

Tomorrow I should be doing another 400-500 dump. Chatch me now.

Hi Ben:

As of today you have a massive "well over" 300+ work unit lead on me. I'll try to catch up a bit before your next dump :)

[Rizzo]

You will never catch me...

My massive staircase effect will rule supreme.

Don't force me to do something silly Tank boy :) Ben has already forced me to illicate more firepower. Within a week or two I will reign supreme. I plan on taking the elevator right past the staircase! Hahahahahahahahaha (Evil scientist laugh.)

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Rizzo]

Mine is no ordinary staircase though.

Mine... is a stairway to heaven.

[Rick_Deadly]

Guess what's happening while we're merrily crunching along. LBaker is scooting on by, and when I say "scooting", I should be saying "shooting".

Way to go LB!

[Rizzo]

Yeah, I noticed that.

While we are having our battle, we are slowly slipping down the table.

Thanks Rick! Just doing my part. I guess this is the official wave as I go by :D

[Rick_Deadly]

And your 20K total is just awesome... hope to meet you up there some day :)

[Rizzo]

Just thought you'd like to know, I', going away for a long weekend. So I won't be able to do my regular Sunday dump.

I might dump on Tuesday when I get back, or I might wait until next Sunday and do a mega-dump.

If you do get ahead, don't let your hopes get too high.

[Rick_Deadly]

Hehehehe...

I shall take the advantage of you, when you are down, me kick you, hehehehe...

Oops, I accidently passed you yesterday Ben. :) I know your not here to read this, but I want you to see it after you come back and before you dump. :)

Icky, icky, Ptang!

or

Woo woo woo woo woo!

[Rizzo]

I have come back, I have read your message, and I haven't dumped.

I think I will dump next Sunday and see if I can get 1k jump (haven't checked for crashed clients yet though).

[Rizzo]

OK... I've had a change of heart. I am dumping 5 * 99aa today (from my machine), so that will be 29.45 * 5 ~ 150 units.

It won't close the gap compeltly, but it will go someway towards it.

[Rick_Deadly]

If you ever want to pass me again, I'd suggest that you dump now Ben.

<Sneaking, coniving trickery or just idle boasts!>

It remains to be seen, tune in tommorow for:

As The Gene Crunches!
.

Only the shadow knows. :)

[Rizzo]

Shit, Rick. Nice big 340 unit dump today.

Hopefully it is a machine that has been -noneting for a while or I am in big trouble.

I still aim to dump this weekend, with about 14 days of crunching it should be a biggy; hopefully over 1,000 units. Although this may not be possible because I lost a day or so on one of my machines, and my own personal machine dumped Monday.

Hi Ben:

Thanks, that was my first sneakernet test. I won't burst the bubble yet on what I'm trying to do. ;)

[Rizzo]

I've been considering getting a dedicated cruncher. I can get a 1.4Ghz Athlon for £200 (excluding monitor), so I might have to do that soon (if I can get some cash... I am broke at the moment).

[Rick_Deadly]

I know what you mean Ben, I have a system (Or lack there of.) sitting on my living room floor, waiting to be finished. I have, CD, HD, case, sound, NIC, video Kybd, mouse, monitor. Ican get a free slot-1 mainboard, so I'm just waiting for a CPU and RAM.

I just bought the wife a new car, so no bucks for a while :(

I have access to a few computers to "borrow cycles from" though. It should help us get OCN and the Italians. I'm no-netting a couple GHz right now :)

[Rick_Deadly]

OK Ben, I'm ready for your 1,000wu dump. It should be close whether you pass me or not. :)

Good luck :eek:

[Rizzo]

I'm not in tomorrow [Sun] so I will dump this afternoon [Sat]. Not sure how big the dump will be, hopefully 1,000 units.

[Rick_Deadly]

I'm guessing 900, but I'm hoping it's 1100-1200 for you. Good luck Ben :)

[Rizzo]

I have a feeling I might lose this race, I need to get a big week, and keep it up.

I have added 200Mhz to my farm, but I doubt that will make that much difference.

I just hope I can keep up when you unleash 'Project X' or whatever it is called.

I could overclock all the 700's to 933... but that would make my brothers machine faster than mine, and we can't have that, can we...

[Rizzo]

I did my dump before I went out, and I have just checked my upload and it is only 500 woonits. hmmm... but I don't get home 'till Monday, so I can't see what went wrong.

[Rizzo]

Hmmmm - Just got home and checked the machines.

All are empty (except what they have done since Saturday). This is very annoying. What is also very annoying, is that my Dad turns his computer off every evening, whereas my Mum and brother leave them on 24/7.

Anyway, I hopefully have persuaded one of my friends to crunch for the team, and even better, crunch for me. He has a 1Ghz Athlon, which sometimes runs at 1.33 depending on how he feels. If I am lucky I can get him to add his sisters and parents machines to the mini-tank. That is another 1Ghz ish.

Which is nice, for me.

[Rick_Deadly]

Right on, I hope it works out for you. I'm afraid we may seperate a bit. I've got an additional 3GHz :eek: running nonet now. I'm thinking of saving it up for when we're about to pass OCN?

:D

[Rizzo]

3 Ghz!!! Where did you get that from?

[Rick_Deadly]

Work... I have 10GHz just in my office I can round up if I have to :)

[siggy]

Rick!!! What you waitin' for ?????? Round um up Dude!:D

[verT]

Rick circle the wagons round em up and tie em down 7Gigs of virgin power man get on with it:D

[Rick_Deadly]

Listen to this Siggy...

At the place I work, we have about 1200 PC's only being used as office computers. Mostly Word, Excel and such. About 75% of them are PIII 933Mhz machines with 128MB RAM.

If only I could get my hands on 150-200 of them, I could give Pelligrini and Jodie a run for their money :) Ah... just dreaming, I wouldn't even want to sneakernet 100 PC's. :eek:

I suppose it would be fun trying to overtake Unimatrix_One :) I'll talk to my office mates and see if they'll let me interfere with their machines :D
