 I have been sleeping  Of course!  Our thunder7 is racing and crunching like a rolling thunder as he is on the brink of passing … ME  : Country Statistics for The Netherlands. Uh-ohhh!… adriverhoef 270,979,340… Only three or four more days to go!  It means that I will lose my 8th place  just before the end of the year!   You don’t derserve that at this very important particular time of the year. We could ask thunder7 to release the accelerator a bit, so it will not happen until January 2nd Would that be better? Try to look at it as a very interesting coincidence. A chainreactioncoincidence. Now you get to meet your very close competitor – had it not been for Dutch Elm Disease this would hardly have happened Don’t panic! You’ll soon get that new frontdeskcomputer   Everything will be all right  |

Do I sense some sort of panic? It's clearly unavoidable. Country Statistics for The Netherlands. Uh-ohhh!… adriverhoef 270,979,340… Only three or four more days to go! It means that I will lose my 8th place just before the end of the year! You don’t derserve that at this very important particular time of the year. We could ask thunder7 to release the accelerator a bit, so it will not happen until January 2nd Would that be better? It's just a pity - een heel klein beetje (in a very tiny little bit way), as soon as it will happen.Don’t panic! You’ll soon get that new frontdeskcomputer So, I'm not a loser after all, I guess.Everything will be all right Ahhhh, feels so good … |

After this digression we'll carry on with business:
 Good Morning to Synapp.IO - what a forum profile! Perfect - if you have no team yet, I'm sure The survivors are for you stefada, you're from France, very good, you are from all over France thunder7, yesterday I noticed you added the Netherlands. Thank you. Base Camp just finished a trek to top40.nl - that would have been the tops for you to have taken part in - you would have met adriverhoef top40.nl your very close competitor on the Top10.nl Before that we made a trek to SNURK and Friends - so much Netherlands  ...And I'm taking Dutch classes - I can say ezel and a few more thing like siroop and zeemeermin That's it. Everybody else sleeps |

It's winter, and all my colleagues are jealous of my nice heated office - it took some doing to quiet that supermicro tower with 4 opterons down, but it's been crunching like mad ever since. Still, it has nothing on the dual xeon v4 which has 80 cores crunching happily - in even more silence.
----------------------------------------More interesting is this Dutch member: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/stat/viewM...?userName=MakeCuresHappen How do you get (and administrate) over 65,000 installations? And what type of hardware is that, given that I get about a third of his/her results per day on 10 installations? [Edit 2 times, last edit by thunder7 at Dec 27, 2017 8:05:29 PM] |

thunder7, I'm sure
- make that *I think* , because nothing should be taken for granted - adriverhoef will be in 'shortly' and strike up a shop talk with you. In the meantime, I would like very much to be able to make what WCG call a Multiple Member Comparison I have tried at irregular intervals, because the message I get .... oh, used to get was 'a mistake happened ....' but all of a sudden it worked. Sorry for disturbing I wonder why I thought you were American ....  I can say tegenslag, hagelslag, and *almost* toverslag (needs some finetuning), too  |

Let me squeeze some business in while all is quiet on the Dutch front.
Checking on our present 'Recently active' gives a wonderfully mixed picture BladeD told me/us he's in North Carolina, but for some reason he doesn't think it should show in his Forum Profile cowtipperbs state no country - personally I always thought he was Dutch (all this Dutch everywhere all of a sudden) - but his SNURK sign says Oklahoma State University! So is he from Oklahoma? Is he a Dutchman who has Oklahoma State University as his alma mater? Questions, questions .... annnnna is from Nuremberg - I have checked so often, I know it, but I enjoy seeing a nicely filled in Forum Profile captainjack has nothing listed, and he has no SNURK sign. Really murky .... He@ven7 - now this is exotic seen from my cold Denmark. The name is a rhyme in its own right. No country listed, but the SNURK sign says Niue. Had to look that up, and I was taken to Polynesia - wauw! Crystal Pellet reveals nothing in his Forum Profile, but blimey: One more Dutchman I can deduct from his SNURK sign .... vlado101 no country, SNURK sign says US, team says Belarus around the world - a Belarussian diaspora? Michael Goetz, United States - OK - maybe you would like to specify a state? Stiwi no country, no SNURK sign, no nothing ... NUCCpod_NAPTIMELABS_01 no country, no SNURK sign, no nothing geoffreygould no country, no SNURK sign. NO POSTS!  Sheridon no country, no SNURK sign .... DE113936 no country, no SNURK sign .... PMH_UK the name says it, but he also states London |

Night owl - Danish night owl that is - check:
TonyEllis, Hornsby - Upper North Shore Sydney, Australia You have one of the finest Forum Profiles I ever saw. You must have seen the Sydney Opera House? Your weblink leads to statistics that make me gape gb009761 is in Scotland. Fine! sgsmith states US - good, but it's a big country Sgt. Joe, everything is just spit polished in your profile deltavee, Texas Hill Country is good DerekB21 flies under the radar in all respects, which you have to respect |

Thank-you - that site is always a 'work in progress' - commenced in 2007...
----------------------------------------Yes, not only seen the Opera House - but enjoyed many performances both in the Concert Hall as well as the Opera Theatre. The most recent was Nov 18 this year enjoying the following with a close friend... From Broadway to La Scala

Thank YOU!
Now I got to get inside that building, which I so far only saw from the outside - in pictures - one of several things connecting Australia and Denmark - I think of our Crown Princess Mary from Hobart and Jørn Utzon the architectThis show shows you have more than one passion/interest, TonyEllis  |
