Oooh - hark at him!NaRyan wrote:No idea what POEM is.
If your going to talk about a project tell peeps what it is.
When you tell peeps what it is, put a darn link in the post too (ahem lot of them about!)
And if it's March 24th fat chance.
C&C 3 mission pack out then
'spose you're right though. I ain't gonna describe it but here's a link for you...

Sorry, that post was kind of harsh.
In a snot load of pain at the mo, had a visit to the emergency dentist this morning.
And ended up getting a tooth the size of the Empire stare building removed.
So with pain, lack of sleep, hunger, having to walk long distance at 8am in poring rain in freezing cold, in a lot of pain (did I mention that ), to sit about for 90 minutes in a room with screaming kids, to end up having a needle stuck in my gob and a wisdom tooth yanked out, and to walk back home in the freezing poring rain, kind of made my day
Anyhoot how's your day

I think it's one of the projects that creates WUs as and when required. If the queue drops to say 500, then another 500 are created straight away.NaRyan wrote:Looking at their site, can they handle a mini crunch?
As at the mo they only have 778 workunits to send and it won't take a lot to empty that.
Still not too sure about joining this. We had problems with the 'International Gauntlet' a few months back. Nothing has been said about ranking/handicap, how the scores are going to be gathered, deadline for joining and bits I haven't thought of yet (but will do 5 minutes after I've posted this!)
There's still 2-3 weeks before we need to make a decision.
A little problem is that it's during/straight after the 'Easter Bunny Hop'. We could combine the two I suppose. We'll have to add it to the poll closer to the time. If POEM wins we can do both, if it doesn't we won't!

Guess i could do poem for a bit ... But i'l miss me ABC's .
1 good thing about tooth ache ...You can get it taken out and the pains gone ,
I find that when the kids are pains you can chuck em out but they keep coming back to be fed :lol:
Done a few WU's on my tat p3 800 and its 10 1/2 hours for 48 credits on average .
Running 2 wu's on me 3.0 D now ..looks slightly faster ..9% in 5 mins :lol:
But theres no x64 apps for it just a bog standard intel 86 ..boooooooooooooooooo
Update .....53 min WU gave 15.09 credit
So about 780 ish credits a day on my 3.0 D
Not too bad

What the?
I just attached to it to see how it ran on my 6000+
4 of the workunits lasted a grand total of 0.38\0.39 seconds each.
3 of them got 3.47 credits each, but the 4th got 15.09 credits.
I say again "WTF?!?!?!"

From the way I read it in the forum, this is more to raise the profile of Poem than a challenge though this may change as at the moment I think they are just putting out feelers.

Realised this morning that we still need to make a decision about the WCG challenge which starts on the 1st and finishes on the 24th March as well.
