  • Useless, just like advertised!

    My results from the self-proclaimed “most useless quiz ever”:

    No, I don’t know what it’s supposed to mean either. Pretty damned useless, huh?

    (ps – I did this because she did it first.)

  • Lots of packets, no LGMs.

    Among the features I haven’t yet restored to this website is the SETI@Home status indicator. On a whim I decided to check up on my progress…

    Results Received: 5247
    Total CPU Time: 6.910 years
    SETI@home user for: 4.869 years

    Your rank: (based on current workunits received)
    Your rank out of 4952071 total users is: 43476th place.
    The number of users who have this rank: 7
    You have completed more work units than 99.122% of our users.

    Whoah. I’m in the 99th percentile, baby.

    So, who else out there is doing SETI@Home still, and how many results have you cranked out? While we’re at it… who’s interested in joining a new group? (The Torps have sort of had their day… most of us still in it are just there on account of inertia. And it’s not like Zaph is putting out another version of Cthugha any time soon. Le sigh.)

    (Even if I am #2 out of almost 40 Torps members in total results processed, and am within a couple hundred of taking the lead. Ahem.)

    Yep. Just another indicator of my sheer unsufferable geekiness. Y’all can deal, I’m sure.
