It is with great pleasure that I present the first of many [H]orde Spotlight interviews. Earning the honor of being the first (by returning his questions first 
) is jfb9301. So without further ado, lets get to it!
First off, tell us about you.
Where do you call home?
Stationed at Pearl Harbor Hawaii. So home is currently Honolulu.
What is your family situation?
Married, with Son
What do you do for a living?
U.S. Navy, Submarines, for the last 17 years.
Does your forum name hold any significant meaning?
My initials, and something else to make it unique.
Did you ever post in the "Let's see your mug... " thread? Why or why not?
I guess if someone wanted a Pic they could check my lonely (0 Friends) MySpace Page.
Lack of access to posting photos online. Plus my own inherent lazyness. I've got plenty of knowhow to make an appache server at home so I could do my own hosting. I just don't wish to goto the trouble to set it up and secure it just to post a photo or two.
What other hobbies or interests keep you busy?
are you kidding?
COMPUTERS
oh and modle rockets and RC Cars
Tell us about your involvement in DC.
I Did RC5 until it was cracked, and then took a break until I folded my first WU about 3.5 years ago.
Who or what got you stated in DC projects? About when was it?
RC5 was a buddy named James. FAH was for the [H]
Why do you participate?
Because it was a good cause. Later I had an Aunt Die of cancer. More recently a close friend of my wife fell to Alzheimers.
If DC'ing could find a cure for just one disease tomorrow, which one would it be and why?
I know you say just one, but it's really hard to not have two for me. I'd go with Alzheimers first. That disease is plain scary and we don't know much about it. Cancer second. We may know a bit about it, but we still have not cured it.
What projects have you contributed to? Any others you find interesting?
I don't have much of a farm so I don't wish to diversify. GPUs have caused CPUs to be greatly under valued so I might switch the CPUs over to the other [H] team, mainly to support the [H].
What teams have you contributed to?
2CPU for RC5.
[H] exclusively for FAH
Why did you choose the Horde?
I've been a reader of Hard|OCP since Pentium I days.
If your current project ends, which one will you move on to?
I see no endpoint in sight. But, I figgure I'll stay with our team and where they go. Probably somewhere in medical research if I don't agree with the choice of our team. Keys were basicly useless and well, why go looking for aliens when there are diseases at home.
Current level of production and how's it spread around?
Mosty one GPU, again CPUs are way under valued.
Where do you see the [H]ard DC sub-forum in the near future?
ummm here? seriously it hasn't changed much in the last 10 or so years, I doubt it will change much in the future.
Long term?
see short term.
Any ideas on improving the [H]ard DC sub-forum, or suggestions or improvements for our Team?
I frankly don't have any ideas that havent been, well, shot down. Kyle gives us far more support than he gives anyone else in the forums. We've asked for more (free subscriptions, exclusive hardware give-aways) and he has his reasons to not provide. I'm sure they are good, and I don't wish to question him on them further.
Tell us about your involvement.
Where did you begin?
2xDual P3 1000@1100, C600@900
What are you running today?
3.6G P4 @ 3.85 w/ GTX 260, 2.8G Cel @ 3.2, AMD 3600+ @ 2600, AMD 1800+ @ 1600, 2G Amd Turion, 2.2 Intel C2D Mobile. I've got a borg 2.8G P4 Northwood @ 3.2 that turns in a WU once in a while, but it's 3000 miles away so I can't keep tabs on it.
Where do you see your DC'ing activities in the next year or two?
GPU, GPU, GPU
Do these boxen have day jobs or are they dedicated folders?
2 are desktops, 2 laptops, 2 server/folder, and that random borg was a second desktop, that never really sees use as what it was built for.
How are these boxen configured? OS, client, etc?
XP Pro, 6.2 for everything but the borg, last I heard the borg was XP Pro, 5.4
Have you been successful borging? If so, what kind of borging worked for you? (For example, friends, family, and/or work?)
Long time Friend.
Thanks jfb9301 for a great interview, and getting the Spotlight series off to a great start. I'm already looking forward to doing Spotlight #2.
