And hello to everyone who may remember me, it's been a while. I don't have the resources available to contribute, but I do stop by and see what's up every once in a while. Right now all of my boxen are devoted to running VMs related to things I'm trying to fgure out for work, studying for...
To build on to the screenshot above from Gilthanis, I'll give a little perspective from having worked in a data center for a number of years hand have been part of migrations like this. When you're moving servers, or moving data to bigger/updated servers, yes you can get that kocked out in days...
I thought you guys would find this interesting. Posted on Facebook.

Edit: I just noticed the date, so take it with a grain of salt I guess.
The hardware in my lab is not optimized for Distributed Computing, and the work that I'm doing in the lab still needs some resources allocated but I'm putting some CPUs on to Rosetta. 16 E5-2650 v2 cores and an A4-5000 for now. If its not killing the other VMs, maybe more cores later.
Quite a reminder of how long it's been since I've been a regular contributor. Constantly chasing that next certification has all my systems bogged down in VMs, so F@H and BOINC have been tough to run.
