You will probably be equally pleased to hear that I nearly

Before posting this specific post my postcount was 999.

I'm going to check to see if it reaches 1000 in ten seconds.

...

Yep.

Having worked hard this past week, this post is my 1111th.

Whew.

Totally unrelated to the forum or GIMPS-

A friend of a relative just got a double lung transplant!

A ~~victim~~ user named "edson" just signed up. According to his profile, he is from Los Angeles. Could the great Edson Smith have just joined the forum?

I think this fits here quite perfectly.

Cracked the 99th percentile for P-1 contributions in the last 365 days (and I haven't even been participating in GIMPS for the full 365, and my fastest PC hasn't been on the project but six months yet!), and simultaneously cracked the top-100 (99) for all-time P-1. Total P-1 is 793.8256 GHz-days and counting. Should jump a lot when my P-1 of M332205149 finishes!

I'd been a part of GIMPS in the distant past, but took some time off and only rediscovered it back in early June 2010. Since then, I've got over 2200 GHz-days. Kinda amusing to compare it to the 200 GHz-days I spent doing 27 LL tests in my past! Tests were much smaller then... I'm not even sure GIMPS did P-1 at all, then? I had no P-1 credit until my return to GIMPS in June. When I left, the leading edge was at about 23 million, it seems? It seems I did testing in the 12.5 to 22.5 million range, all verified by now. It's unclear whether these would have been first time or double-check for me...

Anyway, I guess the first paragraph was relevant and the second one was off-topic. Sorry!

I logged my first solo flight in a Cessna 172 three days ago. It was fun

I wonder how many people first soloed in a 172, maybe a million.

P-1 credit was defined as a seperate category when the V5 server went live in Oct 2008. Prior to that a completed P-1 w/o factor was awarded .0001 P90-Years; more for factors found.

Similary for Double Checks credit. Prior to V5 DC points were added to the LL totals with no differentiation.
