You know you've Boinc'ed too much

[trigggl]

...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.

This is a foreign concept to me. Why would you even need to take it? My computers run just fine on their own whether I'm in the same state with them or not. Which leads me to my entry.

You know when you take the time to learn scripting so you can administer it remotely and set it to start/stop projects on its own.

I wrote a script to keep all tasks suspended except (No. of cores)+1. After a task completes it resumes another one. That way I don't get 10 tasks partially completed. It's good for challenges to make sure as many tasks get completed on time as possible rather than wasting time on tasks that won't complete.

I take the lappy because I like having a computer with me when I travel to keep up with email, do work, etc...

Heat drops by 3 degrees in office, you know the GPU ran out of work.

When you think about how to maximize crunching power for every person that asks you a computer question.

Christmas list is all PSU's, GPU's, cases and motherboards.

Work, say no more. That's something I don't take with me.

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...

One word: daisychain.

...when you go out on a date then have to shamefully admit that the only pictures you have on your phone are of your computer.

...when you're flirting via text message and you use the phrase "hotter than a CPU without thermal paste"...

When you go to Best Buy to purchase a new camera, you end up trying to convince the camera salesman that he needs install BOINC, connect to PG and join the SETI.USA team as soon as he gets off from work.

and later when you get home and read the section of the manual about the camera's "computer connection outlet" (do 3rd graders translate these things?) and you wonder whether it can crunch.

1) Did he join?

2) No, not 3rd graders but rather foreign 6th graders and Translated by 3rd graders
