I think I found someone who will donate a couple machines’ worth of CPU cycles to TeamHaiku (a guy I used to work with - Tony) – he plans to get it set up tonight on his home machine(s)
Ask your friends and coworkers!

What, like this?
Hey friend and coworkers!!
It’s a wonder in this modern Information Age (10 years since the BeBox was created) that we have such unresolved problems as the Sierpinski Problem.
Go to http://www.seventeenorbust.com/, download the program, sign up for TeamHaiku. Help us find a prime!! or at the very least increase our standing in the program.
Let’s deliver the message -
When the computing gets tough,
TeamHaiku gets computing :!:

Yeah! - LOL…
We have 2 new members:
“cablecoder” (a friend of mine)
and
“asti”
Thanks for the support!
Looks like we’re acquiring some more “heavy hitters” – that’s a good sign

LoL… our first step ought to be to convince some of TeamBeOS to go TeamHaiku.
Before I started the team, I was also in TeamBeOS, but my lojalty and hope is more with Haiku rather than OSBOS in general, hence why I started TeamHaiku.
Especially Beyond would be a good recruit to our team =)

I know…I nearly sent vlad a message last night – I found a posting on begroovy.com from Jan 2005 where he had “re-joined” TeamBeos to kick some butt…
I don’t want to tick anyone off though by blatantly asking them to join TeamHaiku when TeamBeos has such a high ranking already.
Anyone brave enough to send a “Join TeamHaiku” message to the Haiku mailing list(s)?
I’ve put one machine on it for now, more as soon as I can finish up some “other math related work”.

Glad to see you re-joined 
hailstorm joins the team!
one more in 
(under the name dylansmrjones)
I’ve got enough CPU-cycles to spare… and Prime numbers are so much fun

Yup, just saw that you joined! – cool, we’re on fire!

Wow, you’re really turning it up!.. now I’ll have to go find some more machines so I can stay ahead of you

All for a good cause and to get the Haiku name out there, not to mention to make up for letting Zoinc down early on, sorry Zoinc.
We’re tucking away quite nicely. I’ll expect no.40 to be home quite soon
Anyway… watching the window counting is much more fun than Domain Models … I really should do my homework… but watching that window tick tick tick… it’s like watching the laundry (VERY ADDICTIVE! :lol: )
Ah, heck, why not? Half the time that I’m on, I’m sitting in front of the screen wondering what bug to squash next. Not a 24/7 machine, but every little bit helps, I guess.

I saw that you joined earlier (name in the member list) – but no numbers yet? 
Heh, funny how making a lot of noise attracts attention I still think we need a “TeamHaiku” forum though.
Also, another new member: haggr !
We made serious progress today, nearly a full 2T already! (and Minbari’s kickin’ my butt too )
I think we’ll have 8th in “last day’s rate” tonight (beating Anandtech!), and 41 in “total production” tomorrow easily.
Hopefully I can pull together some more machines tomorrow at work, we’ll see.
Oh - BTW: Congrats on the new son DW!

I can slow down if needed.
I’ll make you a deal umccullough pull as many boxen together as you can at work and I’ll try to match your production… note to self… check prices on new P4’s…
A hearty Welcome to DarkWyrm and haggr!
Umccullough or Zoinc, don’t have time right now but if you will PM me I would like to discuss your ideas on setting up a team forum.

LOL… I wish I could install it on every machine at my company – but something tells me that would be a bad idea
BTW, if you’re running in windows, and your machines are hyperthreaded (or dual proc) – don’t forget to read the readme.txt on how to set up the service and what command line options to use for maximum resource utilization.
To be honest, I’m already pushing the limits on what machines I can use - I have a couple of our lesser-used QA/Development servers running SoB - I may have to scale back eventually if someone needs them.
However, if we can keep this rate up, we’ll certainly attract more members!
Geee, after having such a hard time recruiting members, finally we see some results. Admittedly though, not so much because of me, rather Umcollough is the king here.
Looking at recent numbers we’ve increased our production rate by x5 (doesn’t take into account that crunching is slow ATM).
All this new support is brilliant and I must say that supporting Haiku with code or money is ofcourse better. However, seeing what is possible, I think that it would be so cool to see all those lurking people who love Haiku but don’t read the lists (such as this one) get an honest chance to join up.
Seeing Haikus production hitting the roof, getting to the top and taking slot 1 would be an easy way of showing off that the community is alive, that we’re strong and maybe even growing.
How about lending a post on the front page saying that you can support Haiku by crunching for the team? I’m sure that would attract one or two new crunchers?
