Trying my best to promote DC projects in unique ways.
I play a lot of iRacing (sim racing video game).
We are hosting a charity race where each driver donates to a cause as the entry fee.
My plan is to donate to GPUGRID and run it and F@H on my spare hardware while racing on my main PC.
The charities/causes supported by the drivers get advertised in the forums.  ( I would link but you have to be a member of iRacing to see it.)
 
 
From the forums:

SUMMER CLASSIC 
Season 2 Week13 will be the first "Summer Classic" race for charity 
This event will see the Audi 90GTO, Lotus 49, Lotus 79 and Nissan GTP ZX-T compete in a multi class race. 


The entry fee for this race is a donation to a charity of your choice, however much or little you can afford it makes a difference. 
 
Causes being supported so far.. 

Cancer Research UK  www.cancerresearchuk.org/ 
CALM https://www.thecalmzone.net/ 
WWF (World Wildlife Foundation - Tiger project) https://www.worldwildlife.org/ 
Slaka djurhem (Local animal shelter, mainly for cats). 
GPUGRID http://www.gpugrid.net/science.php

Thought I'd share here since it's more about crunching than gaming...

Greg Allman Died. RIP Godspeed. Some of my favorite music.

Bummer, R.I.P
The last updates to this article may not reflect the most current information. Gregory LeNoir "Gregg" Allman (December 8, 1947 – May 27, 2017) was an American musician, singer and songwriter. He is best known for performing in the Allman Brothers Band.

He has been sick for a while, I was watching something the other night with him, Derrick Trucks and Warren Haynes.
Greg has to keep seated and did not look so well.
I got to see the Allman Brothers back in the late 70s, they did a small open air concert for the city I grew up in 250th year celebration.
Whipping post is one of my all time favorites, My daughters are Melissa and Jessica.
 
 

Just spend an hour with his music.

Well now I'm bummed out.
The first concert I went to at Madison Square Garden in 73. Also at Watkins Glen and another at MSG.
 
He straightened out for a while when he married Cher.
 
Live at the Filmore East is still a great listen. Derrick Trucks, Warren Haynes  and Susan Tedeschi carry it on almost 50 years later.

I taped a few of Eric Claptons guitar fests and they are on just about everyone of them.
They played in Poughkeepsie NY right next to the Hudson River, it was a fantastic show they did.
It was a free event too. Glad I went.
That's what we did when we were kids in the 70's, no video games, cell phones, facebook.
We went outside and played sports, went fishing and hunting and went to concerts.

The GTX1080 came Wednesday, just got done installing now.
Running Setti doing 2 tasks at once.
it boosted to 1984, I added a little more and it is sitting at 2000 stock voltage 1065, 55c temp
It is on air in a closed case fans at 70%
 
GTX1080 FTW B-stock, very clean card, I bet it was sent in for a thermal pad update.
Can't see a thing wrong with it.

I wasn't a big Allman Brothers fan, but I did like a few of their songs - Whipping Post in particular.
 
 Which Lotus model came to Indy in 1963 or '64 (whichever was the first year a rear-engine car ran there)?
 That ... I think it's the 49 ... looks a lot like that car or one of  it's close decendents that got built specifically for Indy through the rest of the 1960s.

Try to keep on the topic of the thread. It seems like it has got a little derailed with talk of music. While sad news we need to remain on topic for the thread.
