WCG Daily Numbers

[Zachary85]

Seriously here folks, I am running out of superlatives!

Haha, I think I'm working too hard also. When I first read this post I thought you were running out of "Super laxatives" That's a "hole" different problem ....

Good job guys, eight million plus is truly amazing! Very well done, guys!

Mt. Fuji, Japan:

 

[Arjai]

Just noticed, somebody bumped us. There has been an invasion of the 11th Street House!! Call in the National Guard!


Ok, Ok, prolly just a wave in the forces of Crunching Validations...Or, weekend gaming.

We can let them think they've won. We know the score...

It's amazing that we're so close to XS. That's the really exciting part

 

[Arjai]

Ok, so, is this the beginning of the end of 8 million days.
Conspiracy theorists claim our 8 million+ days were faked in an elaborate plan to falsify the standing at WCG!
The Facts bear to differ, we are real. Our numbers are real. Theorists of the conspiritual type are mostly egomaniacal dufus'.

This small dip into the shallow end of our potential is just that, a dip. A momentary glitch that occurs, most frequently, on a Sunday. In the vernacular, it is known as, "Sunday Funday."

Scientifically, it is known as, "Weekendosis."

I call it a Madness for Gaming.

Either way, Monday means we kick the intruders to the curb!

Tonight....

7,524,103

And a slot down from the homestead, 11th.

In another note, the folks at ESU seem to be recovering from their Spring Break and are spooling up again. 6 mil for them today, knocking on our door, tomorrow!! Let's not let them in!!

OK, so, I have been doing laundry today and watching online videos of Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Short, but sweet.

Crunch ON TPU!!

 

[Arjai]

OK! Rough day at work. 13 hours+. Yea, Monday!!

I will spare you all the stupid shizzle and go straight to the Happy Shizzle!

We evicted the Home invasion-ers, and took back the Homestead on 11th Street!! Nice work!!

8,215,974!!

Back in the 8's! I like saying that!!

Looks like ESU isn't spooling up, like I thought. I now think, we have scared them into submission!!

I also passed on the 12 threaded machine. Sad but, money got funny, and I couldn't justify the expenditure. Rent is due and I cannot afford another stint on the streets!

Sorry, could not find a decent link to the experiences of camping in the city. Bunch of hoopla about people, of means, pretending to understand the makeup of Homelessness.

Whatever, Soon, I will be in my own place. I just need a couple hours off from work, to meet with a VA counselor. I have been on a list for VA voucher's for over two years. Friday I was called and told I have one!!


Anyway, Thanks for brightening my dreary day at work. You all do that for me on a regular basis and I want to formally say, THANK YOU ALL TPU!!


Good Night!

 

[manofthem]

Great numbers team, back in the 8's feels pretty good!

THANK YOU ALL TPU!!

We all say, "you're welcome!"

I also passed on the 12 threaded machine. Sad but, money got funny, and I couldn't justify the expenditure.

I can relate to that pretty well. I've been kicking around some ideas on possible hardware changes and/or upgrades, but I've held off because work is in a bit of a funky-sort-of-stalemate, kind of. Point is, it's hard to spend on something when you never know if you'll need that money back... Sucks

 

[Arjai]

OK, Gonna make this a little short and sweet. Or, not.

We are maintaining Greatness and Defending the Homestead. Two very important things. Probably only to me. But, very important, none the less.

8,510,485

Super neat kiddo's...LOL

I truly am impressed by our current streak of 8+'s. We have 510 members of this team. Today, we got results from 87 members.

That's an average of 97,821.67 WCG points per member with results today!

Most of my work is going to, TPU_remembers_Kreij. In fact, in the last 28 days, I have contributed about 42% of the 83,000 points that Uncle K's group has amassed.

In fact, it appears that I am the one, only one, producing all the points, in the last few days!!

Since I started with Uncle K's group:

Sorry, kinda got lost on a tangent...

Great work Team TPU!!


P.S. Back to the movie I am watching, "This Thing with Sarah"

 

[Arjai]

No April Fools Here!

8,222,596

Just a clean, clear winner of the 11th spot in the WCG standings!

To Boot, we are closer to 10th, than 12th is to us! So, "We got that goin' for us!"

Ok, maybe I stretched a bit on the whole, "who's closer to who part" but, in my defense, if you look back a bit...generally we are closer to 10th than our chaser's are to us. Just not tonight, apparently.

Anyway, point is, we seem to have found a certain stability here with an 8 million score. Just enough to keep the chaser's away and too little for the bigger teams to drop in to. Or, it seems that way. IDK.

Great Job regardless! Team TPU is Killing it and I am so beat, I can hardly manage to enjoy it! I do enjoy it but, I feel I may be lacking a certain amount of enthusiasm, I may have had with more sleep.

I also know, I have very little energy for searching out any weird links. Please forgive me. This too, shall pass. My lack of links, not this great output, NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!

 

[Arjai]

A-Nother, Great Day in TPU Crunching-Land!!

8,353,175

You folks are not letting me down. Not even a little.

This run of 8+ mil score's is making me feel a little useless! I know, I know, every little bit counts. I just wish I could be a larger contributor, aside from these Daily Posts.

No worries though, one of these days I will have a nice output. However, don't anybody hold their breath! It may be a while before that happens.

On a side note, I finally got my Voucher, waited over two years, thought the whole thing was a goner, for HUD Housing, through the VA.

What does it mean? Within the next three to four months, yours truly will have his own place, with a Kitchen!!

What you all may not know, about me, is, I love to cook. I have thousands of recipes saved for the day I have a kitchen, again. It has been close to 3 years since I have worked a stove/oven/grill/cutting board...Aside from the couple of Remer, MN trips with my buddy, where I got to cook.

I can hardly wait. My own place. Where I can have people over AND where I can cook, often at the same time!

This Team has been Cookin'!!

11th Place, A-gain! How Hot is THAT?

To think, just how far we've come, in such a short time. The sudden influx of Xeon's and the last Challenge, or two, of Newbies, with Xeon's...Has made a Stellar difference in the Daily Number's.

Once Again, I want to Thank EACH and EVERYONE of YOU for making this team the BEST TEAM in the Known Universe!!

 

[Arjai]

Friday Night...I got out of work early-ish today and made my way home, straight home, in time for dinner. Even after catching the wrong bus, I was so tired I fell asleep on the first bus, then caught a 63 bus, instead of the 64 bus, that takes me home. Fortunately, although I was starting to doze, I realized it made the wrong turn, while we were still Downtown! I was able to walk a few short blocks and catch the correct bus, all in time to catch dinner, with time to spare!

Since then I have been zoning out, reading about "Evil Clown Comics," with Frenchy T. Clown. It was published in National Lampoon Magazine, circa 1988.

Then, as though time jumped, to now; the time to do Daily Numbers!

8,018,442

TPU does it, yet, again!!

We're on a Roll!

"Nice an Tidy!"

Evil Clown Comics...An interview with the artist, Alan Kupperberg.

7,910,976, that's all?



It's alright, it's the weekend and we all have to game a little.

Well, I hope everyone has a Happy Easter, even if you are not religious. I'm not but, I am going to a co-worker's place to meet the Family and to chow down on this Holiday. He says his Mom can cook. By the size of him, I tend to believe it!

So, we managed to keep our place, despite the poor showing, from you all.

Tomorrow is a great day to set the boxes to 100 and let'em rip, while enjoying, or enduring, the Family get togethers! Could be we have a stellar Sunday, because of it. I can hope, no?

It kinda makes me feel good, to see that there is a team of Russians Crunching for the betterment of our World. Along with the Czech's, which isn't even a country anymore, the Chinese, somehow Crunching behind the Wall and of course the French, despite their beauty, they seem to care.

Really puts the "World" in World Community Grid, no? I like it!

Know what else I like? This team is representing countries on both sides of the Atlantic! We even have the Top Cruncher in all of Lithuania!! Isn't that right, @Vinska ?

So, yea, a conglomeration of Countries, just on our Team TPU!!

Putting the "World" in TechPowerUp!

 

[bubbleawsome]

I'll admit, I kept trying to find the "world" in techpowerup!

It's past midnight here, maybe I should sleep.

 

[Arjai]

Ut OH!!

Seems we have some new visitors on 11th Street!! This time it by an entirely different University!!
University of Kaiserslautern , Having searched their site, it seems that it is not a University Program, rather, it seems that there are 14 Students combining their personal computers to the team. Considering their output, I may be wrong. However there is no mention of WCG on the Universities website. So, it could be a few IT guys running it after hours (that would be my best guess).

Anyway, the 70+ Crunchers we house on 11th Street should be able to oust them, tomorrow, out of our house!!

So, Sunday Funday, and Easter combined let these Germans in our House. I hope they are tidy and they don't drink all the beer!

7,888,733, tonight!

So goes the Up's and Down's of the weekend.
Let's rock them Comps and take back our new Home!

 

[manofthem]

Let's work on getting back up to 11th because it just felt good to be there.

Great work team

 

[Peter1986C]

Along with the Czech's, which isn't even a country anymore

Dude what? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Republic

 

[Arjai]

Dude what? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Republic

OK, my bad the Czech's have a team and a country. The Slovakian's now have a country, also. Not sure if they have a team, at least not one in the top 50...

I apologize profusely for mistaking the Czech Republic, for Czechoslovakia, which no longer exists. Now I feel like a dumbass.

 

[Arjai]

I am beat. I have been nursing a cold for the last week. Today, it kicked my butt! Last night I got very little sleep, coughing and dry heaving, all night long.

So, today, before work, I got some Dayquil, Nyquil, Halls cough drops and some kleenex.

I am hoping for some sleep tonight!

OK, Good News!!

We got the House back from those pesky Germans that were staying over!!

8,840,805

It looks as though they wanted to stay, too!

Nice work defending our Turf!! Team TPU is back in control of the 11th Street abode!!



P.S. Oh, almost forgot. Apparently, the power got zapped on this part of the grid. When I left for work, it had dropped off again. I saw the truck, a few blocks down the road, working on the lines. Traffic lights were off, or Flashing, people from the office buildings were stepping outside as we drove by. So, when I got back here tonight I rebooted Karen and the P4 Cruncher.

P4 came up, just fine. Karen, on the other hand, is running on a copy of Windows that is "not genuine."

Huh? I downloaded the .iso from Microsoft. I got a retail Key from @stinger608 . I tried to re-enter the key, no go. Oh well, at the very least, she is still crunching. Looks like I will be switching her over to Linux, sooner rather than later. When I manage to find the time!

 

[manofthem]

Very great work team on getting back up well over the 8 Mil!

So, today, before work, I got some Dayquil, Nyquil, Halls cough drops and some kleenex.

Oh the days when I would rely on that stuff so much I actually stopped that stuff because it make me dependant on it, couldn't sleep without nyquil so I had to stop it. I do fancy the cough drops though

Did you try the automated phone service to reactivate the key? I've done that a few times and it works fine.

Looks like I will be switching her over to Linux, sooner rather than later. When I manage to find the time!

Linux is fine for a dedicated Cruncher, but for a pc that needs to be used for everything, I'd never be able to survive with Linux. I had a hard time using Linux, and I'll only go back if I can't find a Windows key and it's not a dedicated Cruncher.

Maybe, I should give that a try. Now, I just need to wait for the stupid message to pop up again!

PM me if you want another "solution"

 

[Arjai]

UT OH!!

9,009,785

Um, pardon me but, did we just over Crunch today? I mean jeez, I was just getting all settled in with this whole 8+Million thing and you guys go and plop this in my lap!!

I'm not sure what to do.

OK, it is now documented on TPU's Server's for all the World to see. TPU Crunchers hit 9 million on a Tuesday, not associated with any official Challenges.

Fine Feat of Crunching Prowess!

That didn't sound too weird, did it?

Indigo, that is where I was for a few moments! This team has got me seeing/ feeling colors!! It has been a while since anything but this team, has had me synth out!!

If that isn't a sign of being overworked, I don't know anything!

Not to diminish this Team's incredibility!

Go forth, Team TPU, and Conquer the WORLD Community Grid

 

[[Ion]]

So much science; brings a tear to my eyes

 

[Arjai]

Well, A wonderful Hump day to you all!!!!!!


Today was a very good day in TPU Cruncher Land!

8,596,371


If you have noticed, as I have, we seem to be sort of a Gate Keeper. Teams ramp up, even stay in our House for day then disappear down the ranks.

This team, in the last few months, 6 or so, has gone from dancing around the mid teens to a ROCK SOLID 11!! The Teams behind us cannot seem to do anything but bounce off of us!

I'm liking that Steady!!

Look at who has recently come knocking, ESU, 15th. Kaiserslautern, 22nd. And then us.

The protector's of the Top Ten!!

Team TPU, Saving the World from Top 10 pretenders!!

So, on the other hand, here is a link to a rather good "Tiny Desk Performance"

Enjoy, I did!


P.S. This is incredibly Awesome, for those who don't know. "Tiny Desk Performance Ver.1.2"

 

[manofthem]

Wow, UoK was knocking on our door with a strong 8 Mil just a few days ago

Feels good to be holding down the fort where we do!
