What's New September 2008
05th - GIMPS Project Finds 2 World Record Primes and Claims $100,000 Prize
It's been over two years since the GIMPS discovered M32582657, the largest known prime, which weighed in at 9,808,358 digits, just under 10 million digits. The GIMPS project has continued since then seeking the elusive 10 million digit (or greater) prime. Amazingly, in the space of 2 weeks, two record breaking primes were reported on PrimeNet, the server that that hands out work to the 64,000+ participating PC's from around the world that have joined GIMPS. These PC's run a highly optimised distributed client program called Prime95 the searches for Mersenne primes.
The new primes are
- M43112609, 12978189 digits!
- M37156667, 11185272 digits!

What's Here
My top personal interests are mathematics, programming, emulation and gaming. If any of those interest you then you may find something worth reading here. I have several other interests including juggling, movies, cooking and nature walks but there is nothing here on those topics at this time.
I've included links at the top of the page to the key pages here. One is a site map with everything linked off it. You should be able to readily navigate to everything I have from them. The site is not updated frequently, and updates are sporadic.
Some of the more unique goodies that you will only find here and nowhere else are:
- The 5x5 Knights page,
- The CHD, Baddumps and Nodumps Info pages,
- The Star Force map,
- A comprehensive Tomb Raider III Walkthrough (archived in zip format).
- A comprehensive Doom 3 Walkthrough.
I hope you enjoy your visit. I'm happy to participate in any reasoned discussion on the topics covered here - feel free to email me.
