Congratulations to Andrew Pam, selected at random (by Random.org) to receive the Neuros OSD and NAS. Hats off as well to clay whose massive crunching qualified him for first place and thus the bonus prize, a Nokia N95.
One week ago Team bOING bOING was formed. Last night was the end of the contest. In a beautiful bit of serendipity, it was also the point at which Team bOING bOING took the number one spot on Cosmology@Home, allowing me to say for the first time ever in a distributing computing project: Suck it, Ars Technica!*
I’ve got some more prizes I’ll be announced soon for members of the team, so keep crunching those units if you’d like to remain eligible. Great job everyone!
* Just kidding. Please don’t come stomp us.
How can I remain eligible when as a Mac user I can’t even submit one unit, therefore you never see me? Maybe you could add one of the other projects that allow Macs? I’ve found a nice table at the Unofficial Boinc Wiki:
