Guess it's time I introduce myself, having joined a few days ago.
I've been hanging out in the IRC channel so I've talked to a few of you already.
Anyway, I'm not new to crunching; been at it off and on (mostly off) since 1999. If you peek at my stats you'll notice I don't have any big numbers. I've picked it up again though and I'm gonna stick with it.
About myself, I'm on Whidbey Island in Washington state, 39 years old, where myself girlfriend and I live together.
As for what I run, I've currently got 5 machines and 6 devices crunching. All CPU though, no GPUs for the time being. All but one of the machines are pretty old. 3 of them are laptops, one is a netbook, and one is a desktop. The only modern one I've got is my main machine (laptop) that I allow to crunch as much as it can if I'm not doing something else that requires the resources (such as gaming or whatever). It's a gaming spec laptop and has some pretty nice hardware. The i7-4700 CPU accomplishes more crunching than all the other systems combined I think.
As for the devices, there are 3 retired phones and 2 retired tablets. The one other phone is my actual phone that I just let crunch whenever it can.
Out of all of the crunchers, 2 laptops are crunching dedicated, the netbook is dedicated, and the desktop is dedicated. Of the devices, they are all crunching dedicated except for my main phone, and even then it's crunching most the time, as is my main machine.
As for my history in teams, I don't really have one. Always been solo mostly. Before joining SETI.USA I was with USA for about 2 days or so. Decided SETI.USA was more appealing to me. Before that though, I was either solo or sitting alone in an old team I created years ago that never took off (my own fault). I have since disbanded that team.
As for projects, currently I am solely focused on SETI@home across all machines and devices. I just recently switched over from crunching on Universe@home. I moved over to SETI@home when U@H ran out of android WUs. I think I'll stick to SETI for a bit. The other projects I've worked on are Asteroids@home, Cosmology@home, Einstein@home, MilkyWay@home, and the SkyNet pogs. I of course always run WUProp@home regardless.
I refuse to run any mining or mathematical based projects, such as BitCoin Utopia and Collatz. I have my reasons.
Well I guess that about sums it up. Not sure what else to add. Hope to see you all in IRC for those of you that go there.
Edit Post
Crunch what you want and when you need help or just some conversation someone is usually home. Like you, I'm never happier than when I'm crunching a science project but, alas, I do fall prey to badges.
