    Wink 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 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...

    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!!

    ...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"...

    Been there done that. I have a Best Buy one block from my home. I find myself there during challenges. I never get anything, cause they are too expensive and not good performance equipment. Now if there was a New Egg one block from my house...

    When you get depressed because your RAC will drop by 15K because someone turned off the computers that were crunching in your cubicle -- even though you quit working there 45 days earlier!
