July 29, 2001

-- 12 midnight EDT update: Today was a record-setting day! We set a team record for daily production with 4597 wu's from 17 contributing members. The majority of this production was the result of Esthalan's substantial dump. Way to go, Esthalan! We also reached a high in our 7 day production with 12512 wu's from 24 contributing members. Congratulations to everyone! We cut polghiv_szeged_hu's lead in half today. At this time they lead us by 4347 wu's. We should pass them by mid-week. About 4100 points above them is TeamPCCritix. It looks like we will move up twice in the coming week.

For the 7 day period, we topped 9000 wu's, with an actual total of 9078 wu's coming from 20 active members. We passed S_MDC today and now hold 25th place. Congratulations everyone!

July 19, 2001

-- 12 midnight EDT update: Our daily production continues to be impressive. Today, without a major work unit dump, 13 members contributed 937 wu's. This puts our 7 day production total at 8354 wu's, with contributions from 19 members. We trail S_MDC by less than 600 wu's and, barring something unforeseen, we should pass that team in the next 24 hours.

July 18, 2001

S600SEL's major wu contribution spanned 2 update periods, including today's 3am update, which is a major reason for our success today. We recently passed True Clinicians and occupy 26th position. We trail S_MDC, the team directly above us now, by about 2300 wu's.

July 17, 2001

-- 12 midnight EDT update: We had an outstanding production day! For the 24 hour period, 12 members contributed 1682 wu's.

-- 12 midnight EDT update: We had a strong production day with 14 members contributing 886 wu's. For the 7 day period, 20 members contributed 5131 wu's. TDIclub has narrowed our lead to about 2000 wu's and, at our present rates of production, should be passing us in the next few days. At the same time, we continue to close in on the team ahead of us, True Clinicians. Currently, their lead is about 4000 wu's. Current production levels suggest that we will pass them in about one week.

July 14, 2001

-- Welcome to our newest member, sgreenberg. Thanks for joining our team and Ni!

-- 12 midnight EDT update: We produced 584 wu's in the past 24 hours, with contributions from 11 members. For the 7 day period, 19 members contributed 4983 wu's.

July 13, 2001

-- 12 midnight EDT update: Congratulations to Antigens and Fart in Your General Direction, both of whom completed 2000 shrubs, Das_Shrubber, who completed 750 shrubs, and The Lady of the Lake, who completed 500 shrubs.

-- 12 midnight EDT update: We had another very solid day today, with 11 members contributing 789 wu's. For the 7 day period, 19 members contributed 4679 wu's.

July 11, 2001

-- 12 midnight EDT update: Wow! We had a very good day. Not only are our production numbers impressive, but the story behind the numbers is very encouraging. For the 24 hour period, 12 members contributed 991 wu's. For the 7 day period, 19 members contributed 4528 wu's. It appears that we have reached the point where this level of production is sustainable. In short, Das_Shrubbers installation package has now been deployed in the field and we are beginning to reap the benefits. Equally impressive is the fact that we have attained this production level without contributions from two of our top producers who are no-netting as they plan for the "August 1 Massacre". Add to that the fact that Greymoor is no-netting while he is on vacation, and it becomes obvious that both our production and active member numbers are higher than our current statistics indicate. This represents incredible growth from where we were just one month ago and bodes very well for the future. Our top producers for the day were Fart_in_Your_General_Direction, Antigens, and KWSN_Patsy.

July 6, 2001

-- 12 midnight EDT update: KWSN-Genome extends a warm welcome to our newest member, KWSN_Tazman. Welcome aboard and Ni! For the 24 hour period, 14 members contributed 606 wu's. For the 24 hour period, we total 5028 wu's with contributions from 21 members. We're now at a place in the team rankings where the distance between teams widens considerably. We are 8000-10000 wu's behind the teams directly above us. We're out-producing several of these teams so it's likely that we will pass them. It will take a little time, however. Meanwhile, TDIclub and the Dutch Power Cows are gaining ground on us with strong production numbers. They'll be closing in on us in the coming week. If we continue to grow at our recent rate, we may very well be able to hold them off. In any case, we're 4-7 days away from some interesting competition.

July 5, 2001

-- 12 midnight EDT update: Another good day folks. 14 members contributed to our 637 wu total today. For the 7 day period, we're at 4758 wu's with 20 contributing members. It's impressive that our daily production is at the same level it was before Stanford devalued the work units.

July 4, 2001

Currently our lead is 135 wu's. 14 members contributed to our production total of 645 wu's for the 24 hour period. For the 7 day period, we total 8230 wu's from 21 members. Congratulations to Axiel who passed the 2000 wu milestone today, to Fart_in_Your_General_Direction who passed 1000 wu's, and to KWSN_MCM who passed 100 wu's. To those who celebrate July 4th, best wishes for a happy and safe holiday.

For the 7 day period, our production is a robust 8277 wu's with 21 contributing members. We have narrowed PalmKiller's lead to 351 wu's. Meanwhile, a few positions below us, TDIclub continues to move up quickly.

-- 12 noon EDT update: DTSO, the team below us, appears to have new life and has been narrowing our lead over the past few days. At this time, we are about 1000 wu's ahead of them. Meanwhile, PalmKillers maintains their roughly 1600 wu lead. Will we pass them today? Stay tuned.

July 1, 2001

-- 12 midnight EDT update: A very solid day, particularly in light of the new unit scoring system. For the 24 hour period we produced 739 wu's with contributions from 11 members. For the 7 day period we produced 8321 wu's with contributions from 21 members. Given our positive momentum and the rise in new members, things are looking up and the coming week ought to prove interesting.

-- 12 noon EDT update: Congratulations to Antigens, who recently joined the team and quickly passed the 250 wu milestone. We are closing rather quickly on the team above us, PalmKillers. We trail them by about 1600 wu's and given the production rates of the two teams, we should pass them within the next few days.
