Day 6 - Finale

Good evening everyone! The six day 2025 BOINC sprint has now come to a close. It sure went by fast!   Today I've been working on adding the finishing touches on a website I'm designing for someone. They sent over a few more things they wanted added. Unfortunately it now looks like it will take another 6 hours of work. But of course, before we get into anything else, I must tell you what I'm listening to! Today it's REO Speedwagon. I've had Roll with the Changes stuck in my head for t

Day 5 - We did it again!

Good evening everyone! @TheLANguy here again. It is hard to believe that the event will be over in only 24 hours. It feels like it has gone by so fast.   Things almost didn't go well with the statgrab today. You see, I took a little nap this afternoon, and luckily I woke up about five minutes before stat time. Looks like I might need to add a little more automation to my script. To get myself a bit more awake to write this, I'm listening to some Rush, specifically YYZ and La Villa Stra

Day 4 - America Online!

Good evening everyone! @TheLANguy here again. Happy Friday! My goal is to have this blog up before the WAN show starts. We will see how that goes.   Today has overall been a good day. All my work is done and I even had time to do a little house cleaning. I stumbled upon a Try America Online! 10 hour trial floppy disk (3.5 in) still sealed in the original packaging. I'll have to post some photos of it later. Now before we dive into the stats, I better mention what I'm listening to! I lo

Day 3 - Spoons

Ladles and Gentlespoons, it is I, leader of the Linus Spoon Tips Folding team @GOTSpectrum. Where we are all folding as many spoons as we can. Remember, there is no spoon, only the illusion of a spoon.   Today, has not been a good day for me unfortunately. My pain has been quite bothersome, and as I'm coming up to a tolerance break with my (prescription) cannabis. It does not have the usual level of effect at this point in my cycle. This is why we have tolerance breaks. Oh my, where ar

Day 2 - Crunch me up Scotty!

Good evening! The second day of crunching has come to a close. Spec has given me a tough task of following up the wonderful blog post form last night, but I will try!   I have always been here or there about listening to music with lyrics while working. It can give you the energy to keep awake and working, but for me at least, this comes at the cost of it slowing me down a bit. Either way, as I write this I'm listening to The Dance by Fleetwood Mac on CD. One of the best parts about my

Day 1 - A momentous Occasion

Good evening ladles and gentlespoons, to the first folding Wait sorry, a force of habit! To The First BOINC Event!!!! I'm @GOTSpectrum Although I'm sure you all knew that from my intro. I am honoured, truly, deeply honoured that I was asked to write this blog post. The first update for this event. The first folding event ran on the forum was ran by @palespartan Although I don't know how he is doing, and I do think of him often. What I do know, is that event was the catalyst needed to revitalise

Day 0 - Welcome, Welcome!

Welcome, welcome! I am TheLANguy, new leader of the BOINC team and I would like to welcome you the 2025 LTT BOINC Sprint!  The crunch is on! This the first ever LTT BOINC event and well... it's going to be memorable one way or another. I must admit pulling the initial stats today was quite stressful. Despite testing everything multiple times, you can never be too sure. In total we have fifteen beta testers crunchers participating in this event. The big question is which one of them has

BBWUB - Finale

So today I have my first day at college, I did sign up to the evening classes rather than the daytime classes. So I have some time to kill before I need to hear out so I thought let's smash out a blog post! My PC has been perfectly stable since closing the door overnight to stop the cat sleeping on the radiator. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when it get's warmer and I can't do that.    First of all, I would like to thank @cbigfoot for being a diamond geezer and sorting out all of t

BBWUB(2025) - It Was The Cat... Maybe

So, I am now somewhat confident the PC crashing overnight was the cats doing. After closing the door(and opening the window) it seems despite the higher room tempurature, the PC ran all night. Frustrating sometimes having cats, but I do love them. I'm a little tired today which is surprising becuase I slept quite well overall.    I had some things to take care of today, and that means this blog is once again later than I would personally like, but this is my birthday party after all.

BBWUB(2025) - The Cat Is Sus

So, my PC died again overnight, and at first, I was thinking, I guess the chip is dying, but then I remembered how the cat liked to lay on the radiator and the computer doesn't like that. So I'm going to close the door to my office and see if it happens again tonight. I will keep you all updated on how it goes.    We are already more than halfway through the event and I have to say, it is kinda weird not being up at midnight to do updates, but I am quite liking sleeping like a function

BBWUB(2025) - I'm A Student Now

Guys, first of all I would like to apologise for how late this blog is, I ended up struggling to sleep, then overslept and had to rush about to get to the enrollment event. But, I can once again get student discount say I'm learning in an academic setting.  So what did I choose, as many of you know I didn't choose before the event event. I ended up choosing to do a Level 2 in Counselling Skills and Entry Level BSL(Sign Language). I'll be honest, I signed up to BSL because it was free and wo

BBWUB(2025) - The WUs Must Flow!

And here we are for yet another blog post, this one is a little later in the day than planned, but I ended up doing Spanish in the morning as I’m going out this afternoon. It’s nice to see everyone ramping up their production rates and firing on all cylinders.    I have to say getting up early is still weird for me, but I’m slowly starting to get used to it. I’ve also been caffeine-free for the last week or so. Which is pretty big for me as I used to drink 3 energy drinks a day plus co

BBWUB(2025) - Work Units! You Got Some?

The first day of the week has passed and I have to say, we didn't do too bad to say we have only 30 people signed up for the event.  I'm not planning to do massive blog posts for this event, in part due to the low number of people signed up and the fact that I'm enjoying a little time before I start college. But, thank you, to everyone who signed up to help me celebrate my birthday with some folding, I really do appreciate it.    My PC seems to have become unstable over the last 24 h

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Ladles and Gentlespoons,    I hope you have all had a fantastic day. For me, I spent the day alone. Which was somewhat my own choice, but also not. In all honesty, it’s been fine, I’ve been playing with Linux on android with emulation. I’m running into some bugs trying to get things running, so, I need to root the phone. But that is a task for tomorrow.    This is the first Christmas update from me, but I wanted to spend a little time thanking everyone. First

Folding Month VII Awards Ceremony

This event was my first event since starting my new ADHD meds. In truth, I didn’t think the medication was helping to any great degree. But that was for one simple reason… I got so used to being unable to push myself, that I just stopped trying. But, this event has shown me that, I can, in fact, apply myself. So I have signed up for a number of online classes, and I’m looking forward to the future for the first time in many years.    For the last time for this event, I should post some

FMVII - Day Thirty Four - This Isn't The End; It's Just A New Beginning

I have to say, this event has been one of my favourites, it has gone quickly, hasn’t been particularly stressful, no one’s username broke the script and I have not missed a single blog post, which is not something that I can say about past events. This has been a really great event in all honesty, my pain hasn’t been too bad, I only ended up in the hospital once and it was a scheduled appointment. I think I’ll try to do it like this again next year.    MUSIC, I’m listening to Lorna Sho

FMVII - Day Thirty Three - [Redacted] Is Such A Good Website

[This is added after the fact; In past events days like today would have been a missed blog post. But not anymore, I am dedicated, I am fixated, I am dependable. We got this] Today has been a not-terrible day. I was up until 7am, which is the problem when you have a friend group online that spans three continents and something happens that makes the whole community want to come together. But I will admit that I have used all of my mental spoons today so this is going to be a challenge to write.

FMVII - Day Thirty Two - Nothing Lasts Forever

The days of the event are winding down, and with each passing minute, the spirit of the fold grows ever more dim. But do not fear, because one thing is clear. The fold will never die, or so is said by, I. Take solace in the deeds of kindness, as we help to cure medical blindness. For we are one with the fold, if only we could be so bold.    Sorry about that, I’ve been doing a creative writing course today and it seems I was still in that kind of mindset. What am I listening to today, y

FMVII - Day Thirty One - Emo Country Music

I really need to say how much I love this keyboard. I’ve already written a few hundred thousand words with it over the last few weeks, between blogs, chatting, working on personal projects and such. I never really thought that the difference between Cherry and generic switches would have impacted my typing speed to such an extent. But, it seems that it does in fact have a significant impact on my typing speed. I’m about 20% faster on this keyboard than my last. Which is quite a difference to say
