Monday Morning

[Bruce]

Boy you can sure tell who has access to a bunch of computers at work. :D :D TGC seems to get a really good dump on Monday mornings (depending a little on timezone), even when nobody is thinking about strategic issues.

Suggestion: Why don't we put all the company computer farms into the tank and leave your home computers on the personal stats?

[MechCD]

Ahem, cuz it makes the indivdual puters look bad.

I don't mind the tank, but it bothers me when peeps put every single puter they have into it, then it looks like we have inactive members. that could look like a negative for peeps wanting to join, or you may even get to the poitn where the user was so inactive you'd get kicked out of the Twilight Zone.

Tankers, keep one puter on yer regular user account, if you have only one outer, upload a gene a week or so to it.

Keep on tankin!


(i'm not in the tank and i got smushed :( revenge is eminint)

Oh, I absolutely agree. I'd even say all tankers should upload one gene A DAY.

In the days when I ran lots of S@H at my office I probably should have credited their results to a separate account from what I did at home, though.

1 gene a day would be better yet :D

I believe we all do Mech, for the reasons you stated. I'm running half me half tank at this moment.
I like your theory Bruce, it would sure as hell get the tank up and running.....cant see it happening however. People like their own stats which is fine.

I have never seen a reason to -nonet. Except when the merger was in flux. It serves no purpose and trashes any kind of comprehensive stats. How can you have accurate stats when folks are popping in and out?

The funny thing is lots of folks seem to like -noneting the small aa which give lots of genes but hardly any WUs. Check out ohms18k, 2500+ genes! He should be in 2nd place but is stuck down the list 11,000 WUs behind. So much for -noneting.....

Turn them on and let them run!

I -nonet on 2 work pc's or at least I'm trying. I got a 733 and 866 PIII set up yesterday. Intel's are dismal. It's been almost 18 hours on the 733 and it just finished the 21st iteration.

[MikeTimbers]

I nonet the work PCs because I can't get through the corporate firewall. That means I get a nice big juicy spike on Mondays to make up for ... well, Mondays :(

[wbierman]

OK, that's a valid reason....

[MikeTimbers]

What is, the Mondays or the firewall??

[MechCD]

Me thinks firewall is a reason fer nonetting

Otherwise, nonetting doesn't do much. It really fudges the team/user production though. Unless you do it at regular intervals, say nonet from monday to wednesday, and dump wednesday night.

I'm never around the machines but 2 or 3 times a week and -noneting helps around the firewall. I dump every time i'm in the office and get fresh genes. I try to keep my weekly production around 3K. Hey i like my 2500+ genes, it's all-good.

There is no way i could be in second place in so short of time no matter what units i noneted,:confused: I knew people would notice that mad gene count :cool:

[siggy]

only in genes. Not in WU. But it won't be long if you keep this pace up.
