Here is the first update for this challenge. Not off to the start I'd wished, but not bad. Let's see what we can do in the remainder of the competition!

 

[4x4n]

Doing my part, all I crunch is the 2 cancer projects and muscular dystrophy. I think I'll switch over to just the childhood cancer for the challenge. Maybe some others can do the same.

Looks like sixth place is pulling away but we are also pulling away from Team China. Good job guys!

I only have intermittent projects and then let them send me work from active projects as necessary. So I ticked off HFCC now, but the challenge will probably be over before those wu's bubble up through my queue. I guess I should make more of an effort to follow these things.

How exactly do you accomplish this? Would I have to first download the project?

Not sure how one is suppose to set that as the only project. I will do the same if I can find out how this is accomplished.

Thanks in advance.

 

[HammerON]

Login to WCG and go to "My Projects". You can select which projects you want to run from there.

twilyth is right though as I have a pretty large queue as well

 

[BinaryMage]

Yeah, most of us set BOINC to get new work for 2-4 days, so if power goes out, we can still crunch. That is generally good, but I guess in this case not so much. Oh well, no big deal.

I don't see that in my projects though Am I missing something? All I see is the "Help fight childhood cancer."

Is this the one that I should be doing for this?

This is how I'm set up now - should work - comments appreciated.

 

[twilyth]

Oh, wait, should have included the bottom 2 check boxes.

 

[Chicken Patty]

Well Team China gave us some of their exhaust fumes to smell as they rolled right over us, but we are still in 7th place as we overtook another team as well.

 

[BinaryMage]

#7 is definitely pretty good, though it'd be nice to be #1.

There are just some powerhouses out there. Being #7 is a nice accomplishment.

 

[BinaryMage]

Especially for the size of our team.

Yep, we've came a really long way. I tell ya from experience I was the 2nd member to ever join this team and am the longest active member of this team, meaning I've been with the TPU WCG Team since the beginning. We've came a really long way!

 

[stinger608]

Awesome; just checked, and that is the only thing that my system is working on at the moment, so all 6 cores are working for the competition

And, just got the 4x4 system in, and I posted it out of the case, so will be getting that together in the next couple of days.

That should be nice, perhaps a little Project Log?
