Well I've recently reached my 2nd GIMPS goal of getting into the
top 100 factoring.  Last summer I made it to the top 1000 LL
testers and then switched from double checks to factoring to
make my mark there.

Now what to try for?  :-)

Bah, top 100 factoring isn't that hard! :)

I just checked my ranking and with only four computers I'm sitting at 140 and top 100 looks quite doable.

You could make your mark by poaching the last remaining exponent under M38, assuming that Draco Malfoy doesn't beat you to it. :)
