  1. Big thankie to everyone. LTT did mighty well in this BOINC Pentathlon!
  2. Reminder if folks have forgot to do it. If you want a chance at any of the prizes for this event: Ensure to sign on forum to be entered for any prize draws for this event https://forms.gle/M9XKNewc4GuJNMpW8
  3. Ah, soon my computer room can stop being a sauna. ....awwww, come on
  4. Hmmmm, we may need to shore up in yoyo. SETI.Germany really outputting over there.
  5. It ain't the Pent until some whining occurs in that shoutbox. I think in everyone I ever been in, there is always some drama going to occur in that shoutbox. Either someone going to say a team is cheating or someone going to take offense about what some folks can afford to have and run. smh
  6. Darn, thats nice. Thats way faster than my 3080Ti. Though, I have both yoyo and E@H at the same time going on the main. Mine be avging around ~6mins under W10. Well, along with a browser playing music, discord, and sometimes bluestack going. Reminds me I want to later get another AMD card again. The last one I ever touch was a 7970. That thing was a good tankie card. I think tictoc over on OCN still has it. Also....oh boi, SETI.Germany cranking them out it seems
  7. Update on that dragon.  I still debating should I color it...will lengthen out before I have it finish.

     

    As a reminder, this is a prize for the BOINC Pentathlon 2023.  One lucky chap going to get the full blown high quality piece.  I may have it physically printed out for the winner as well.  I just need to figure out what is a good place for doing high quality print outs.

     

    Also, if anyone curious, this is completely being done in Procreate on a iPad Air.  It is so far the only digital program I have come across that clicks for me brain for drawing.  Though, I may need to try Krita out again, looks like that got quite an overhaul of late.

  8. Hmmm, I have you check to see if you have the latest BOINC Manager installed? I know sometimes WCG can get in a funky mood. Is the event log spitting anything out?
  9. Good going team! We snag third in Sprint!
  10. Oof, yeah, understandable with how the electricity cost is for some folks. Also, to make aware. I am donating a drawing for the prize draw. Currently working on it. Still debating should just be a file shared full digital piece or find a good way to get it printed.
  11. Update on that dragon for part of the prize draw.

  12. Okay, I'm shifting my 5800X towards NumbersField.
  13. Team is doing well in yoyo@home. Sprint is looking a bit tight for numbersfield@home. Cross Country is sure heating up.
  14. Alrighty, I'm getting my lazy and rusty butt to do a detail dragon as a prize for the BOINC Pentathlon.

     

    Tease, just starting on the rough sketch.

    Okay, time to figure a way to temp rig the PSU…

    I do plan to get some later. Just the length I need makes the cost a bit higher than usual.
  16. Yeah....Einstein can be a problem child at times. There be some months with no issues getting WUs then....it just be like, nope, no WUs for you.
  17. Okay, time to figure a way to temp rig the PSU closer so the power cords can reach this darn mobo connectors.

     

    I really need to buy some cable extension so I can finally get my lazy butt and turn this old 1950X into a server.

  18. Hmmm, stares at main rig; stares at old GTX960. If there is room, hail Mary it. GTX960, time for ya to crunch ya life away again! In honor of Hertz!!!! (if wondering, he is the chap that was my mentor and got me into F@H/BOINC). This the little 960 he gifted to me to use in OCN's F@H team event in the past (not sure if they still do it over there). Time for this GPU to crunch again if I can shove it into something. Wake time little GPU. Yes, I smack a darn AIO on a 960. Hmmm, maybe I can shove my old x99 Xeon into a board for a short bit.
  19. About six hours out now for Einstein@Home
  20. Yep, I remember in one former BOINC Pentathlon that their work unit server legit went like belly up because it just could not take all the requests.
  21. Darn, be quite nice to snag another silver. Right now I have my GPUs aim at numberfields. The 3080Ti is chewing away like mad.
  22. Very nice. The team snag 2nd in City Run.
  23. Since driving back home after getting off night shift.  Just had to get a picture of the sunrise.

     

    Thankfully, there is not a bad spot near the bay to get a clear shot.
