Hi, Sgt. Joe. Thanks for the visit and the link. In case anyone else has trouble with that link (I did with both Netscape and IE), if you play with it enough (at least in IE), you'll eventually get it to work.

I've read that report before, and had already added a comment.

No time to elaborate on much right now because I just stopped to check my email before driving over to my sons house to brew a couple of batches; I'm taking my gear and ingredients over there to teach him and his friends, so I'm on a very important mission.

Cheers.

Hi guys,

Sorry it's been a while (again) between trips and getting contractors to quote work, half the year is gone already...

I'm glad to see Dave and Bill still hanging in there on the forum, and with the team. No, we don't give up, unlike most of the world around us, we believe in the cause, so here we are.

On my own front, my primary home PC got an attitude (I can't plug anything USB into it without having it freeze up and require a power off), so it's an excuse for more shuffling around. I've finally had to get the dual core Athlon 5000+ powered up and running, and I got the remainder of the parts for a 2.66 GHz core2 quad (with an extra large cooling fan), which I probably won't have time to build before I leave town again at the end of this week - hopefully everything stays running while I'm gone.

Anyway, I don't generally pat myself on the back, but by the time you read this, I will have put over 20 million points into WCG - 47,000+ results, and over 41 years of computing. That's a lot of heat!

Regardless of the size of your contribution, my hat's off to you - that's why we are a grid, why we all compute toward the same goal, because together we get there faster. Your time, your effort help all of us.


Cheers,
Fred B

Greetings, all. We are just about 31k behind 'Team Japan HIV', which is now generating less than 40k/day while Homebrewers is consistently generating over 100k/day, so we should definitely pass them tonight to move up to 96th place again. Keep up the good work, and thanks for your commitment to our team and your generosity.

In the beer world, I have two carboys that finished fermenting by last Saturday, so they are in the conditioning stage right now; I've decided not to bother racking them to secondary and will just bottle the weekend after next. They have very nice color -- an IPA and an Oatmeal Stout. I have done a bit of tweaking on my brewing portal , which is still mainly my 'Grow-Hops' portal but it mentions the rest of my sites including my page for our Homebrewers Team. Please check it out when you have the time. Thanks.

Cheers.

WOW! I just looked at the team member listing again and by my count there were 10 people who joined after your mid-May recruitment. Best jump yet. Welcome to all of the new members and hello to Fred.

Dave

Hey homebrewers hope you enjoy the holiday and some homebrew while your at it. I wonder do some of you brew a special brew just for this occasion?
