| Some bad news...
Due to extremely high electricity bills both home & at work, I've decided to stop crunching for a while... Running 7 computers at home 24/7 at full load, has run up the electric bills high, and at work another 10 machines... At work we have been asked to reduce electricity usage, computers arent on all the time anymore, and I've removed the UD Agent to further cut down energy usage...
I'm deeply saddened by this, as most of you know I've been very dedicated to this Team over the past year... Hopefully things will get better in a little bit and I can come back crunching, maybe not at full force, but at least in some capacity... I'm hoping more new members will pick up the slack.

I'm still running my home computers 24/7 but that will change as the weather heats up here. |
