You know you've Boinc'ed too much
Just thought I would share the amusement;
Seems I've been thinking about chrunching too much, it's invaded my dreams...or I guess you can say nightmares. Last night dreampt that one of the WU's spawned a sub project while being chrunched which promptly chrunched on it's own and was submitted to a challenge for credit, where the validation promptly FAILED! Damn you dream wingman!

I've not yet dreamed about this hobby but do think about it waaaaay too much. :p
Re: You know you've Boinc'ed too much
I knew I BOINC too much when I walked into Best Buy today to buy a battery backup for the Silver Hammer only to find out that they don't actually sell one that's big enough...
Re: You know you've Boinc'ed too much
Well as for me...my moms pc was dying and I gave her one of my systems..a Dell 490 dual quad completely setup for MW and have had to call her to walk thru some Boinc stuff on the phone before, She is in her 70's and tells her friends she is doing scientific stuff on her pc 24/7. My mom keeps an eye on it to make sure its always running. Never forget the email she sent me saying the 5 Boinc icons on the thingy at the bottom right corner of the screen...whats wrong lol..awwh mom just restart it and everythings gonna be fine!! :p
Re: You know you've Boinc'ed too much
I can tell when certain projects are running based on how my computer is "acting" at the time.
Re: You know you've Boinc'ed too much
I know there's a problem when it gets too quiet. If the fans slow down, it's not crunching...
Re: You know you've Boinc'ed too much
...when 50% of your "friends" are on SETI.USA! :D:cool:
EDIT: ...when your home page is Free-DC.ORG!
...when your electric bill doubles and you didn't add any lights to your house!
...when you talk about crunching something like it's a "good thing". :D

...when you think people are crazy because you have never not run a crapton of machines ever since you moved into your current place.
...when you've bought an inverter for your car so your lappy never has to stop crunching on road trips.

You are having multiple 20amp 110v lines brought into your command center to balance the load...
Your computer room is warm.... In winter.. with the heat off...*-:)
Your electric bill makes you cry
