I just reached a milestone as the best Portuguese NFS@Home cruncher so my work here is done. I'll leave the machine on NFS@Home until December, maybe I'll reach 1M.

With one week break on NFS@Home to run POEM I am back to NFS@Home. I was wondering if 2,1037- will be sieved until the end of the year..
I will be back on NFS soon at least with one box. Ran Numberfields for a couple of days and now I'm doing the SIMAP thing.
Thank you Fire$torm.
Yesterday took a few minutes of the day to be where my remote machine is and decided to clean the dust out of it. Now it is going faster than ever, at least I notice on NFS@Home wu's a slice speed increase.
Also just started to prepare my new journey, my new life...the good news is that, where I am going to, the electricity is cheaper than where I am now, I suppose half the price. Hydroelectric power instead of coal power, more renewable.
It's sad but it will be last Christmas I will be passing with all my family...that hurts.

Wow, I'm really slipping!Didn't even see this thread. Carlos, looks like you have been doing a great job rallying the troops to take positions in this project. I commend you for this! Hope when you get settled, we can revisit this and throw some more power at it! Haven't been involved in a real stomping for a while, except for SIMAP. Bad time of year at work and holiday crap. We have a presentation we need to do for the company exec's and of course our annual Inventory and then the holidays and for the beggining of the year, we have Audits for different projects. This makes my brain explode this time of year.
Stay in touch if you can and maybe we can crush this thing!

If it ain't crunch'n, unplug it!
Our country is getting worst at everyday and we are all struggling not to drown on this big confusion. If I was younger I would go to another country also.
To be present to our family and friends as nothing to do with distance, we can live the next door without speaking or half a world distance without ever being a stranger. The only thing that distance makes is for us to see our determination of sticking together.
But I know what cost me when I had to go to Brazil at the age of 28 some 27 years ago. Now I have friends on both sides of the Atlantic and when I am on one side a bit of my heart is in the other.
I hope you can find the place you deserve on this earth on a country that needs you and can appreciate your skills.
It is with hope on a better future that I am telling you this, if we hadn't hope what would be of us?

Ricardo, I don't have faith in our country anymore. Lost my hope on finding a job...my last cards played will or not have affect in this month of December as a scholarship student at university or as a PhD student. Anyway, already paid for an exam in Brazil to apply for a public job and it is schedule to mid January 2013. I will be dormant but I will be back stronger than ever on crunching.
For here the guys to understand I live in Portugal, a country where when you age 30's you are too old to work. If you have three high degree's it means you have lots of qualification to work....that's the issue in Portugal, a country of tourism and services. Industry is dying due to old European standards agreed by our politicians. Portugal is dying, people are getting very poor. Children when born are left on hospitals because these parents can't fed them due to lack of money.... because meanwhile they lost their jobs...it's very sad. I feel angry, revolted with my country. What we earn is to pay taxes, to pay the bills, nothing is left to invest in your country like going to a movie, restaurant, etc...We don't circulate money, we try to save the least.
I wish I was a sniper...lol
Sorry for the words...
Carlos
Brazil is a great country and you will be very happy there. I am so sure of that. They are very nice people. Speak what you want that I can only agree with you, sometimes I have the same ideas as you do. They destroyed our country completely.
Don't be a stranger Brazil as more computation power and better Internet that you can imagine and Brazil IS BIG, in all senses. I have a brother living there as you know and 5 of my 7 ex-wives are Brazilians.
Man I was very happy there and sometimes I wish I hadn't returned but I will fight for my country now. It is your turn to be happy in Brazil.
