[Scottish] Distributed.net Update - A Friday afternoon call to action ;)

[Cameron Logie]

Hi all,

Just a quick update on the ScotLUG Distributed.net RC5-72 key cracking,
for those that are vagely interested.

We (or I more specifically), have mangaged to get the team into 1041st
place, which gives us a 1 in 7,427 chance that'll we'll win the money for
the beer kitty.
Remember that the individual that finds the key gets $1000 with the team
getting $1000 too. That should buy a few rounds at least and possibly a
portable distro server for the meetings.

Even just a few more machines doing some background crunching would be
greatly appreciated, so if you can spare some of your Friday afternoon
(and  some CPU cycles), please download the client for your machine and
get cracking. :)

That's all for now folks.
I hope that the mere mention of prize money and beer stirs the soul.
Have a good weekend.

Regards,
Cammy.
