So it seems Paul himself somehow lost this factorization![/QUOTE]Wow! I'll see what I can dig up from my records. Best guess is that I mis-filed my result.

Advancing senility...

Could you mail me the stored factors you may have in your logs please?

I seem to have mislaid at least some of them.


Paul

The Web interface does save the factors in a log file, but it doesn't report them to Paul automatically: it puts up a page with an imprecation to send the factor to Paul and a note that the factor has not been sent automatically, but who reads success pages?

I have sent Paul the 560kb submissions.txt file containing every valid factor sent to the homcun server.

submitted factor 1113985982195440798911820133216995888594009426038315529 for (11^172+9^172) at 20090509153204

[/code]

may be particularly relevant to this conversation.

Sorry I've been so lax in inserting the new composites; as I type, I am running my recognise-composites script (which is all of stupid, written in Python and running on a 1.4GHz Pentium 3) on the 1183-entry comps file downloaded just now; then I'll run the merge script, and suddenly homcun.pl will return a mighty mass of trivially small numbers rather than the present elegantly small collection of factorisation exercises worthy of the name. There may be some brief disruption.

The raw data has arrived and I'll process it asap. A few ECMNET factors have arrived since the last posted update and I'll incorporate them in a new update which (I hope) will be loaded shortly.

1169 numbers available for reservation; 9 reserved; up to date with all the ECM factors that have made it to my inbox.

For future reference, if you are on the distribution list of an active ECMNET server with lots of small numbers running, it is wise not to turn off the computer doing your mail filtering when you go on holiday. Deleting twenty 'p3x found dividing something^thingy-wossname' messages every time you turn the iphone on can get old ...

[QUOTE=fivemack;186502]1176 numbers available for reservation; 7 reserved[/QUOTE]

1174 now :smile:

Tell me if someone's done the C90 already. If so, I'll take another one :innocent:

Paul[/QUOTE]

A query. Kay Schoenberger seems to have done a fair number of the
older composites. These composites have gradually disappeared from the
reservations page, presumably because he finished them.

Why doesn't his name appear in the updates file? Paul must have received
the results, since everything up to index 180 has been done. If Mr.
Shoenberger did not send his results to Paul, then who did?

He deserves credit.

As my :censored: antivirus seems to block emails to loads of addresses including Paul's, here are the factors of the c90 from 9,2,228+:

I'd say let's get their count under 1000 and then suddenly stop.
