Good evening crunchmatics! WE ONLY HAVE 24 HOURS LEFT!!! This is your last chance to hit a personal milestone, gain a rank, and help the team have a stellar final day. Give it all you've got! Do it for science! Do it for glory!
I'm of course listening to "The Final Countdown" by Europe in honor of this. Besides that, I'm not listening to anything, however I did watch the new episode of a YouTube show called "Jet Lag: The Game" earlier today. It's quite neat.
Today the tea
Good evening folks! Sorry for the late blog. We have two full days of crunching left! The final push is off to a good start with the team earning 17,626,634 credits today. We also have something BIG to celebrate! WE HAVE HIT THREE HUNDRED MILLION CREDITS! Yep, that's right! The new team total is 309,823,085 credits. That is super impressive! Let's keep it up. By the way, the distractions in the thread are very funny and put me to the test. You see, if I click on the notification, it will take me
Good evening! There are only three days left in the event! This is your last chance to claim a higher rank or keep hold of your current one! How about a fun fact about today in history? I haven't done one of those recently. On this day (3/27) in 1933 polyethylene (plastic) was discovered by Reginald Gibson and Eric Fawcett. This led to polyethylene becoming the most popular plastic. Polyethylene has had a MASSIVE affect on much of our daily lives. Take a looks at the keyboard an mouse you are us
Good evening everyone! I forgot to tell you what I thought of Project Hail Mary yesterday. It was great! I have not seen a solid movie like this in quite a while. If you are a Sci Fi fan, you'll enjoy this movie. I know @cbigfoot did! Try to see it while it's still in theaters. I haven't read the book but from what I've heard it was quite true to the book. That's always good!
Anyway, as I write I'm listening to some John Denver, specifically some tracks off "The Wildlife Concert" alb
Good evening folks! Today the team has earned another 18,506,032 credits. I like that we aren't slowing down! This makes the new team total 254,919,386 credits. I hope we can hit 300 million credits earned by the end of the event. The credits earned on RakeSearch today have decreased to 30,316 credits. I assume this is because the ODLS12 search is complete. The RakeSearch site is now showing it as 100% complete. 1,577,795 SiDock credits were earned by the team today, and 1,806,623 credits on Mil
Good evening crunchamatics! I hope you have had a grand start of the week. I know I am! It's been a nice and productive day. I'm off to see Project Hail Mary tonight. Hopefully I can finish this blog quick! I have luckily been able steer clear of spoilers so far. I've heard nothing but good things about it so far, so that's good! I watched The Martian at home during covid and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'll post spoiler free review in the blog tomorrow.
Today I'm listening to my Al Jar
Good evening everyone! Today marks one week left in the BOINC Crunchathon! Over the last few days, the ranks have become more stagnant, however a week is a long time for changes to happen. This is usually the time during events where people start taking their foot off the gas. I urge you to keep on pushing! Do you know what is impressive? We have not seen any hardware failures so far in this event. NOT A SINGLE ONE! Now that's a good track record. After a moment of thinking, I realized this is b
Good evening! I hope you have had a nice weekend so far. I sure have! Sorry I wasn't able to write yesterday. Thank you @Dr. Will0hlep for helping out! Today I'm listening to the Beatles Channel on Sirius XM. Link
Over the last 24 hours the team has earned 17,350,005 credits. That's a nice number. The team has hit a MAJOR milestone for this event. Today we hit the two hundred million credits! Our team total is now 200,578,236 credits. 74,641 of the credits earned today came from Rak
To start, I need to uphold tradition and recommend some music, and as this will almost certainly be the only blog I write this event, I’m going to make a shameless plug and ask everyone to please give douze points to Royaume-Uni for LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER’s “Eins, Zwei, Drei”. For those who are confused: google “Eurovision”.
Today the team earned 17,445,171 credits, pushing us to within a day of 200m. 91,857 credits today come from RakeSearch. 1,867,863 credits come from SiDock and 1,809,25
Good evening folks! It appears I made a critical mistake yesterday. You do not talk about Fight Club. I'll be a bit more discrete next time.
Before we look at the stats, @autoxbird has inspired me. Today I'm going to copy him take inspiration from his idea and listen to some music from 1929 since I'm in 29th place! Despite mostly listening to old music, 1929 is a little farther back then I usually go. However, after a closer inspection, there are quite a few gems. Tip-toe Thru The
Good evening ladies and gentlespoons! Today is national awkward moments day.... So... Ummm... Yeah... That's cool I guess. I've got some stats to show you. Do you want to see them?
Woah, I'm getting ahead of myself. I need to tell you what I'm listening to first! Before I started writing I accidentally took a brief nap while looking at my laptop. I'm listening to the music a bit louder to keep this from happening again! Today it's a mix of Back in the World (Live) and Wings Over Amer
Hello folks! I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but it has been getting warm here! The AC is now on. Hopefully it is a bit cooler next week.
The team has been eating away at the NFS WUs, however our pace of crunching is much faster than the generation of new WUs! This led to the inevitable lack of WUs. For about half of the day, people were receiving the "No work available" message. It looks like most people had their settings set to store at least a days worth of
Good evening folks! It just crossed my mind that over a week of crunching is complete! That means we are finished with about 1/3 of the event. That's still quite a bit of time to get more hardware online and for the dreaded problems to appear. Don't give up! I'd like to remind you all that today (3/17) is St. Patrick's Day. Make sure to wear green! You don't want to get pinched! I need to find my green hat.
As I write I'm listening to 60s Gold on SiriusXM. Link Speaking of music, I
Good evening everyone! I'm back! Thank you @HoldSquat for helping out with the last few blogs. Things were running late on Friday and I was eating pizza on Saturday. Which type of pizza? Margherita pizza! Good stuff. I started working on some cable management for the desk, however it is still incomplete. This leaves a power bank precariously perched on the corner of the PC case. It keeps falling off and I hate when the cords are holding it up.
As I'm writing, I'm listening to The WA
Hi everyone! We seem to have lost @TheLANguy but that’s fine, you got me tonight! He’ll come back sometime, he loves his crunching too much to be gone for long! Besides, who else is going to post this blog??? Anyways! Ya’ll did bring in 18,199,069 points today!! Awesome job! I am going make tonight quick though, I got some TF2 to play badly 😄 For tonight’s listening pleasure I present you with Squirrel Nut Zippers - The Best of Squirrel Nut Zippers From 2002. Seen them in concert in….2007? (Yea
Good evening everyone! I hope you have had a great Friday. First off, I'd like to wish @danwat1234 a happy birthday! Here, have some cake! 🎂Another trip around the sun is complete. Dan shares his birthday with Pi day. (3/14) Did you know the record for most digits of Pi memorized it 111,700 digits?! Insane! Although it is still only 3/13 in my timezone, I have already treated myself to a slice of apple π. I'd recommend you do the same! Do it for Danwat! There are so many great types of pies, I d
Good evening folks! Hope you have had a great Thursday and are about to have an awesome Friday. I'm here once again to bring you the latest news and stats. In case you didn't know, I'm not running this event by myself. @cbigfoot, @HoldSquat, @Dr. Will0hlep, @leadeater, and @Lightwreather have all pitched in to help. Yesterday, after Cbigfoot and I were finished validating the stats, I let him know that I was off to feast upon some deep dish pizza before writing the blog. Deep dish pizza is defin
Good evening ladies and gentlespoons! I have some good news! No one who was already crunching earned zero credits yesterday. This means that patch Tuesday's attacks, however strong they may have been, were conquered by the mighty team LTT crunchers! Now that we are three days into the event, we've got to talk a little about strategy. This event is called the Crunchathon because it's a marathon of crunching! A whole 18 days of crunching remain. Since credits keep on building, now is the time to w
Good evening folks. The title of this blog may suggest that patch Tuesday is an event worth being giddy about... it is anything but. That is why I begin this blog with a serious message. If you are on Windows, check your machines. When Microsoft releases the latest update, it often downloads and restarts your system! During folding events, it takes many systems down. For all of the Windows folders, I ask that you pause updates for the next four weeks or run the update manually. That should solve
Good evening everyone! The first day of crunching has come to a close. 24 hours of CPU crunching! I'm so excited to take a look at these stats!
But first, we have a little tradition for both folding and BOINC event blogs. I must tell you what music I'm listening to while writing. Today, I'm listening to the 40s Junction on SiriusXM. Link I just love listening to music from that era.
It may have only been 24 hours but the team has been busy! 78,081 credits were earned f
Hello everyone and welcome to the 2026 and first ever BOINC Crunchathon! I'm your host @TheLANguy, leader of the LTT BOINC team! On this blog I'll be posting the daily stats of both the team and individuals, as well as commentary on notable changes. Since this event will be running for three weeks, we are going to see whose hardware has what it takes! A grand total of 50 participants will be undergoing this challenge. I can hear the fans spinning up already. I wonder if anyone is dropping any bu
Hello everyone! We are less than a week away from the start of the first ever LTT BOINC Crunchathon! This event will be running for three weeks and will serve as the BOINC version of folding month and prepare the team for the Pentathlon in May. This blog will be the place for daily stats and commentary during the event, so make sure to follow it using this link or the one at the end of the blog. The event will be starting on March 9th at 00:00 UTC. You can convert that into your local timezone h

We were previously in 57th and are now in 58th. Like me, you are probably wondering what has happened. After all, our team production is up 21,431,178 credits! Folks, there's a new team on
