wish all of you trying to get your badge upgraded make it.. myself im just annoyed that with the no work avalible feature in the past month i have crunched about 60 rice WU's i decided a few months ago i was happy with my badge level and wasnt going to try to level it agian
----------------------------------------(1 year 27 days now) so i deselected a while ago to give the rest of you a better chance corse since i have my computers setup for DDDT2 with the no work avalible box checked... i am slowly geting DDDT2's but geting alot of other work again it sucks that alot of people who are not trying for the last few work units got them.. as i said i got about 60 of them ... sorry.. if there was a way i could get my DDDT2's going quickly without selecting no other work (unless no work avalible) then i wouldnt have goten those i would have crunched something else good luck ![]() |

Due to the stats-problems it took a day longer than expected, but final Rice is 365.246 days.
----------------------------------------![]() This is roughly 2.75 hours extra from a 7-hour estimate, and since was 79 tasks, it means on average over 2 minutes "extra" per task. So, for anyone coming up short with 1 task in their estimates, if has a large cache to crunch through, it's still possible the "extra" past 7 hours can maybe be enough to reach the badge you're aiming for. ![]() In any case, since atleast around here it's the Easter holidays, to be on the safe side I've filled-up with CPDN-work, and won't crunch WCG until after easter. For all crunching for their Rice-badge, good luck, and hope you'll make it. ![]() ![]() "I make so many mistakes. But then just think of all the mistakes I don't make, although I might." |

My extrapolator has not yet got the human factor quotient figured out completely, but there's an acute drop this morning which suggests that day end NRW will have less than 20 CPU years, compared to yesterday 46. Not saying it's definitive, have though 10 quatloos deposit at bookie for <= 18 years for EOD.
----------------------------------------The last 7 days 22nd 48.9 23th 51.4 24th 50.9 25th 48.5 26th 50.1 27th 48.7 28th 45.9 29th 18.2 <- 30th 10.9 31th 6.8 Edit: added the 29-31 days to the list above and won the virtual bet ;P

Hi Guys
----------------------------------------Yes, sudden demise of NRW a real pain - I had been aiming for my first sapphire with NRW with about a month to run, so missed it by more than a few hours!! It's more important that the work is completed than a badge is achieved, but I do wonder whether there should be another badge grade between 1 year and 2 years - for many crunchers getting to 'green' is quite a feat but the prospect of another whole year of crunching to the next badge is quite daunting. How about an intermediate badge at 18 months??? This would not worry the big teams as they will race ahead whatever happens but it is quite an significant milestone for single crunchers and just a bit more of an incentive. Does anyone else think it might be worthwhile??? ![]() |

I'm also going to be short - by around 68 days - but I don't want to see a badge between 1 & 2 years. With new hyper threaded multi core processors coming out from Intel and AMD a 2 year badge a year from now will be equivalent to a 6 month badge today.
Besides, if it was too easy there'd be no challenge. ![]() |
