My range extender hung this afternoon. I didn't spot it it until tonight. There was about 100 or more work units waiting to upload. Today's figures will look a little puny, but tomorrow's figures will look nice. Luckily non of the machines ran dry. I have not had trouble with the range extender for a long time, but I suppose it would not hurt to maybe restart it once a month or so.

Sometimes you just have "oops" moment. I have two circuits in my shed, one for the computers and one for everything else. I was not thinking when I plugged my table saw into the computer circuit. When I turned the saw on, that popped the breaker in nothing flat. Surprisingly, only two workunits out of 56 threads threw a computation error. I definitely won't be doing this again.

Cheers LOL SJ ... it happens all to often around here as well. When "she who must be obeyed" plugs in her hair dryer and opens a breaker, I spend a couple of nights sleeping with the dogs! Good to see all is well in Minnesota. Cheers. ![]() |

Picked up a Samsung Galaxy S8, my first android phone after using iPhones for years. The reason I switched is because of the sleek design and better hardware specs including the edge to edge AMOLED screen.
Installed Boinc on it to do some light crunching work. Currently its set to use 6 out of 8 cores when its plugged in only. Surprisingly the phone stays mostly cool to the touch. The 8 core, 10 nanometer Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 CPU in this thing is really power efficient. Too bad it can only be run 12 hours or so a day because its usually being carried around on battery power. Who'd have thunk we'd be carrying around 8 core PC's in our pockets? Nifty stuff. |

Picked up a Samsung Galaxy S8, my first android phone after using iPhones for years. Interesting to see you left the Apple universe for something different. If it has better specs and meets your needs I suppose "Why not?" I know some people who are virtually married to their Iphones and would never even consider something else. Personally, I would prefer to go phoneless, but man, having the phone can be so convenient. However I have an older flip phone which only does one thing - makes phone calls. I don't answer it when I'm driving and I don't make phone calls when I am driving. I am the kind of person who is really only capable doing one thing at a time well, so driving and yakking on a phone don't cut it with me. The kids in school tend to think I am some kind of a Luddite because it seems almost everyone of them has a smartphone, which, if you let them, they would be on constantly. One day when I was volunteering, the kids asked what was on my belt and I showed them. Some of them had never seen a flip phone, knowing only the slab smartphone form. Ah, progress marches on. I hope your new phone works out well for you. Cheers

Weather is getting a bit to warm so time to shut down the dually for the summer. Helps with the electric bill especially when the air conditioner is running. Think we are in for a rough summer weather pattern. Early tornado's this year and hitting 80 degrees already today. Looks like big boomers for tuesday.

I am watching the temperatures on the 24 thread machines in the shed. They have been running about 72C no matter what the outside temperature has been so far. Once it starts to hit the nineties (F) it might be time to have them cut back. I hate to shut them down if I don't have to. Cheers
