It looks like we may have lost UBT - Brabus SLR
according to boincsynergys Joiners and Leavers pages he's just left a couple of projects.
good luck mate

I'm sorry all, but I got VERY addicted very quickly and it scared me quite a bit and my studying has suffered because of it. I was checking stats all the time even when I knew they wouldn't be updated.
I bet I'll come back to BOINC when studying is over, and when I do I'll be back in UBT for sure. But I am too weak to not let it get in the way of my studies right now.
Sorry again. But I hope to see you again in the future.

Thank you for your words of encouragement!
But for now, I'll give the forum and BOINCing on my main PC a break, see you later for now!
True, that was a step too far, I'm not that weak with self discipline. I've rejoined all the projects, and will keep the family PC crunching. What I will probably do is BOINC in the holidays and any time I'm not studying, and maybe I overtime I can learn to have better self discipline.UBT - Temujin wrote:PS
theres no need to leave UBT though, or the forum

This thing can be VERY addictive, but on the same token, BOINC is designed to just sit in the tray (on a Windows OS) and just crunch away.
Thanks for your involvement and for posting to the forum.
You'll be gladly welcomed back, once your higher priorities have been achieved.
Good luck - and be seeing you on the flip side.
regards,
Tim

Edited what I was going to say - I thought I hadn't wished you well on your departure. And I hadUBT - Brabus SLR wrote:I'm back, with a new level of self control. I installed BOINC as a service and it is less than half as distracting as before!
So will wish you "Welcome Back" instead
Been a long day...!

You'll soon get back "in control"...

PS You're not, by any chance, "studying" to become a Brabus dealer at all? Couldn't wangle a nice "long term loan" deal - strictly for testing purposes, of course, just to make sure the vehicle is safe and roadworthy....!
