100 Countries Contributing
March 07, 2010, 14:24 CST
According to the BOINCstats site, Collatz now has contributors from over 100 countries. There might even be more since some have never bothered to set the country. Still, others have chosen "None" which I guess means they either have been exciled or don't recognize the government in power. Regardless, thanks to all for your support. To see if you are one of the first to join from your country, you can see the list which has been posted to the message board here.


CUDA Driver Downgrade Recommended by nVidia
March 05, 2010, 18:09 CST
nVidia suggests downgrading from 196.75 drivers to 196.21 drivers because of a problem some are having where the fan speed slows down to the point where the GPU overheats and could possibly be damaged.


Possible Network Outages Over the Next Several Days
March 03, 2010, 08:13 CST
Comcast left a voicemail yesterday evening stating that they would be upgrading equipment in my area over the next several nights and that brief outages should be expected. I'm guessing this is for the Xfinity upgrade they have been advertising on TV lately, but since they don't share any details (a.k.a. CYA), that is just a guess. At least they called first this time. The network was down for about a half hour early this morning. That doesn't explain why it was down at about 10:00 A.M. CST yesterday for a half hour, though. Let's all hope that the upgrades result in more stability since faster broadband with Xfinity won't matter much if the lines are down.


Daily Stats Added

Since the high steps seldom gets surpassed and since everyone likes to know how well they are doing, I've added some daily stats which is updated every 5 minutes or so. It shows the top steps each day along with the top steps from recent days. The new stats page can be found here. Also, congrats to PoorBoy and c0d1g0 on the new high of 2,589 steps!


Comcast Woes
February 13, 2010, 11:09 CST
Comcast is cutting over to all digital in the next couple days for their TV signals and evidently, the technicians don't know the difference between TV and Internet connections as both have been down for the last 5 hours. Upload and grab work when you can because given their track record it will take them a week or more to figure out what the actual problem is.
