The Black Knights are looking for new members.
 We would particularly like to recruit someone running the BOINC agent, but UD agent crunchers are equally welcome to join us.  Anyone not already with a team, come and join our friendly team today.  |

Guys,
Don't you just love the BOINC WUs? I currently have 5 of them returned and awaiting validation, and a 6th about to be returned. Which means no points until they are validated. It seems to me to be a bit of a long-winded way of doing things, but some of them may validate before the next WCG update. Anyway, there is always tomorrow. |

Guys, Don't you just love the BOINC WUs? I currently have 5 of them returned and awaiting validation, and a 6th about to be returned. Which means no points until they are validated. Hah! The UD WUs aren't much better. I started getting longer running WUs a couple of days ago, and now I'm only returning 1 every other day. The 1 I'm running now has been churning away for 27 hours and 20 minutes, but it's still only at 85.6%. Why do they give those dirty great things to Celeron CPU PCs? Sheesh!  Grem. I've checked our stats at FreeDC and, even with all the WUs you've probably still got hung up waiting for validation, you made 43.03% of our total for Monday. Me, I made a grand total of 0. |

Snowy,
If you have not yet checked your stats, I make it that the UD WU you mentioned above earned you close to 1,100 points. And that happened while most of the BOINC WUs returned by me were/are still sitting there awaiting validation. Remember, we crunch what we are given. We may not like the way that UD WUs are distributed to low powered machines, nor how BOINC WUs sit around for days after being returned, but that is the way it goes. Anyone who cannot handle that probably belongs with some other team. In the end, all that really matters is that something positive comes of our efforts. Keep it glowing and blowing mate. |

Thanks guys, but I don't need a certificate to help me crunch for this team. You guys are the best.
I made 1,000+ points on each of the last 2 days. Now I'm wondering if I can make it 3 for 3. |
