I know have the same rank for both life time TF and the past year.

Not only that, my ranking is a Mersenne Prime.

One of the kids has her first proper job! Well, starting soon. She's been studying hard for the last year and loving it (speech and language processing) and handed in the last assessment mid-August. I'm fairly sure she doesn't have the final grades yet, but a company in that field has offered her a place! She's very excited. We are soooo happy for her.

One twist: the position is in Aachen, Germany, and she doesn't speak German.

Don't worry, German is close to english in structure. If she work in tech, most of her collegue can probably speak english, or klingon if its needed.

You're #4.

Feel free to ignore totals given in the progress reports, they've been wrong for ages.

Hmm. Right now on my personal graph, is shows it as 13,131, the progress reports shows 13,733. Why would the wrong one have higher "credit"? I would think lower, usually.

Hey Pete? Do you see what this guy is doing to you? How do you let him?

[hmm.... if I can't compete, let's whet (instigate? what's the proper English word here?) another big gun against him, hehe... (for who doesn't know, "petrw1" from here is "Sid and Andy" on gpu72, and he is a worthy opponent too, when it comes to DC)]

I know. I want you not him.

Also, planning to toss a few more machines for fun into the DC fray.
Also, I can't because I am in the same team as he!
