... and so the countdown continues...
www.hexus.net seems to have stagnated this past couple of months. The average PPD rate has dropped to about the 300k mark, recovering from the 250k that it dipped do while I was on holiday.
IS this the effect of Bitcoin grabbing those users with Radeons? Is this the British summer kicking in? I don;t know, but topless computing has definitely become essential in this household with my bedroom soaring to 26degrees for the past 2 nights (that's what our aircon unit says anyway!)- all I can say is that my computer room is noticeably warmer and that I can not work in there so I've been staying in the office working late each night. Core i7's don't half kick out the heat when they're left folding....
In May team Hexus received contributions from 49 members again, not the same 49 as last month though. Some old, some new, some borrowed... well maybe not some borrowed.
This 49 consisted of 3 new contributors.
Welcome aboard folks. Lets hope that we don;t lose you on this roller coaster ride.
Who am I kidding.... This isn't exactly going to set your world alight, but it might help save it one day...
And now to the list of those who we didn't see contributions from who've previously contributed:

I do hope we haven't lost you good folk indefinitely, after all this is in the interest of medical science. Who knows what will become of your contributions, and what impact you are having.
Think of it as donating to Charity without having to pay a middleman...
This is how it looked this time last year...

Still no change at the top - and regarding Bryan Adam, I liked that song enough to buy it on vinyl (those big plastic things that #technically# sound better than CD as they are ANALOGUE and do not "approximate" audio. Those were the days..... Can't do as much damage to a Zombie with your CD collection as you can with those good old 12" eh....
The top few are not really a surprise in there, so lets look at the movers and shakers with their kits performance....

Well done to GeneticFreak nicking in at the top there. Just to mention a couple of other users there
Champman99 - if that's named after the game, then I lost months of my life to you.... Got me through my boring work placement though! - Hurrah for Macros to do my day job!
Union78 - Still going strong and showing up as an overtake for me, albeit only just before I submit a bigadv. Considering you're in the MiddleEast I dread to think how hot your room must be with those 580's and the 2600k pumping out the points 24/7! Yowch!
