[QUOTE=Uncwilly]You write your own software to manage your own GIMPS related work. :redface:

You make charts and graphs to show progress. :blush:

You :banana: when you realize that you are now in the top 1000 of credit in PrimeNet (L-L and Factoring) and GIMPS. :geek: :geek:[/QUOTE]

Sigh, I'm only at #2146 at the moment. But just wait until my biggest exponent ever finishes in a few days!

in a "former lifetime", you actually used a P90 to check 2 exponents in about 1 month each. :redface:

That was under a different name, but I did write to George to get the 0.2 credit moved to my current account....

You still use a Pentium 90, 24/7!

(Not guilty, but my slowest is a PII 166.)

Its finished! A 24M exponent! But my computer says its composite...

Still, that brings my rank up to #2002!

[QUOTE=davar55]... when you took G.Palameta's C-port of E.Mayer's F90 implementation
of the CF DWT LL test and rewrote it in true C style,
reducing ~85 hard-to-read pages down to ~20 "readable" ones,
but would like some clues on how to actually make it run faster,
even on my PC snail!!

You fully understand the previous post.

You see a car license with '971' on it and you feel like you are being taunted. :rolleyes:

You get a customized licence plate with '20996011'

You are outraged when your request for a license plate number with 6,320,430 digits is denied.

After you write a program that tells you that 7 is the digit that occurs most frequently in M40, you answer a bunch of questions wrong on a math test so that you can get 7/10.

After reading that, you wonder if 4 is the second most frequent digit in M40. You also wonder how many occurances of 47 there are.

Your first thought upon reading [URL=http://news.com.com/Microsoft+creating+Windows+for+supercomputers/2100-7337-5219282.html?part=dht&tag=ntop]this[/URL] is that it should make taking over those supercomputers/clusters you've been drooling over MUCH easier.
