We are lacking some furniture to make this place home....I'll donate this,
to start with. The big comfy couch....
One thing the team here needs to realize, and a few of the folks at the thread I read today at RRR, is that crunching a stable rig is about as exciting as watching a granite mountain erode. (Note that this is MUCH slower than watching paint dry, or grass grow.)
At XS, we talk about such things as scragging sheep, sail rabbit pie, Fart Plumes coffee, Cyber's still, just to pass the time and have some fun. The good news is that our rigs and farms are so stable, we can do this. XS is also in a postion that we are a long way away from taking the #2 worldwide spot, and have no one even close to threating our #3 spot in the world. What is missed here, and perhaps at RRR, is that this should be fun too. Don't take crunching, or yourself, so seriously that you don't have fun. After all, you paid for the hardware to play in this space, right?
@ Baleful from RRR, good on you for posting up in the TPU WCG section. I am also very happy we made the criteria here for getting a sub forum. TPU is an "up-and-coming, dog-in-the-race". I have no doubt the horsepower is here. The more folks that crunch, the better the world becomes.... Whether we catch your team or not, I hope you grow your membership at the rate TPU seems to be growing theirs...
As a side note, to everyone, quite frankly, I do have some trouble sorting out what is internet posturing vs. a real "call-out". That's my problem, not yours... In the Pac NW, we just roll.......I say what I really mean, all the time, anywhere. I tend to be very careful with my words because of it. I'm my own worst enemy.....
Regards,
Bob
