F(OC)LD is in full effect!

[stratcatprowlin]

Ok guys the time we have all been waiting for has arrived.Everyone that has joined the new subteam should be folding for F(OC)LD as of now!

This is our chance to really move up the ranks and compete with members and other subteams that have way more production that any one of us alone could produce.Together we will rise to the top swiftly and with great pride as we have some of the most dedicated new and seasoned folders on our team.

I would like to thank TollhouseFrank who was instrumental in setting up the team by giving his time and effort to an idea that the two of us had and really wanted to bring to life.Without him this team would not be possible.

So with that I ask you to F(OC)LD on!



Our Stats (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=133038)

[TollhouseFrank]

Thank you for your time and effort as well, Strat. **edit** got most of these horrible puns from King_Warg**

OK folks! This is IT!! Let's get out there and show these other sub-teams what borging is about!

Part 1: Lord of the Borgs - The Fellowship of the Borg
Our fellowship came together, and we set out on the quest to Mt. Borg, to destroy the One Disease.

Part 2: Lord of the Borgs - The Two Folders

In all this unfortunately, a great group by the name of True_AMD_Folders was pulled in half. But this new group, with the 'army' we are gathering, is much stronger, and will plough on to victory on the slopes of Mount Borg.

Part 3 The Lord of the Borgs - The Return of the BP

We now have the King of all packets, the BP back in power! LONG LIVE BP!!!

[k3nshin]

awsome! i will start folding for F(OC)LD once this Wu that i am working on is finished!

TO THE TOP! :attn:

edit: oh wait so if i stop the service of FaH, then change the client.cfg to the new name it will put this current wu under the new name?

[TollhouseFrank]

i honestly don't know. i did that, and it came back up that it was doing the WU in the new name. so i hope it is...as its a BP... Wanna get started off with a bang!

[k3nshin]

hmm i'll see if it works for me. i dont have a BP but this wu is worth 148pts...

[Sjaak]

Names, races, brands, and locations become irrelevant, as long as the team is 32

[TollhouseFrank]

true, Sjaak... but a few of us DO prefer working together with others.... sure, we would get the same amount of work done seperately... but its all under 1 name instead of a dozen.... or something like that... uhm....

want a cookie?

[Sjaak]

want a cookie?

something tells me thats gonna be your oneliner on this forum for as long as god may know :cool:

[TollhouseFrank]

:sn:

[Mark620]

Names, races, brands, and locations become irrelevant, as long as the team is 32

I could not agree moore.

[TollhouseFrank]

we are all still under 32... just a bunch of us under 1 name now.... LOL... someone's gotta put some fear and tremblin' into Nikhsub1, Wedo, Healsyeah, and the bunch... :p

[tenchi86]

You do know there are many other subteams right? If its getting up in ranks that you want join one of them, or do you want to control how the subteam runs? Any way good luck with it.

[TollhouseFrank]

LOL. That was all in good fun, Tenchi. I think it helps the forum's production when a new, promising Sub-Team comes along and spurs the others on. It happened HEAVILY with WW4.... the Folding_Monkeys got some good stuff going for a bit. We have had a good amount of interest in this sub-team.

Oh yeah, dont' forget to help me with the sub-teams list thread! I'd like to get all the info I can so I can set up an official directory. Sorta like a phone-book, but only instead, its for the Sub-Teams

[veryhumid]

I'm a little too far along to be joining a sub-team, but good luck! I'd love to see a sub-team in the top 20!

[JDXNC]

I as well won't be joining you, but I eagerly await you to show up on my threats list :D Competition is fun :D

[k3nshin]

see i figured i really doont have much chance of doing anything great on my own. thats my reason with going with the sub team rout

[enduro]

:D Page 28 WOOOOOT ha ha ha ha. Well give us like 3 days and we'll be down by like 15 pgs lol.

[the garynator]

now if i could just get some time to get folding_monkeys back on track :rolleyes: (i'm working 14 hour shifts weekdays and 9 hour shifts weekends :barf: 2 1/2 more weeks and hopefully you'll see folding_monkeys kick in stronger than before.

[stratcatprowlin]

You do know there are many other subteams right? If its getting up in ranks that you want join one of them, or do you want to control how the subteam runs? Any way good luck with it.

Don't hate us cause we're scary.:burn:

[mtb856]

Joined up and pumping some powah into your sub-team ;)

Go F(OC)LD !!!

Let's see if we can break into the top ten PPD for our team :D

[TollhouseFrank]

whatever the reason K3nshin, we are glad to have you aboard!

OUR FIRST POINTS WERE POSTED JUST A FEW MOMENTS AGO! WOOT!!! WE ARE ON OUR WAY!!!

[portorock]

Woot, got your first wu. you go boy(s)/girl(s)...people

[electrorcamd]

Do you know about how many people will be folding for you, and how many computers?
Good luck (and I am finally at a rank of 1476, BTW).

[TollhouseFrank]

that's not bad, electrocamd. In 2 1/2 months, i nearly broke the top 500 on my own (was up to about 523 or so)... True_AMD_Folders in the same time got to about 60 spots behind... and our next biggest folder, King_Warg, got to the 600's in 2 1/2 months. With all the extra powah (from the TWINS, no less!).... and possible borgage through Arkaine (he expressed a lot of interest, still trying to get him to switch over).... we could be looking at a top 10 PPD team here. at leat top 20 PPD on Team32 within 2 weeks, methinks

[TollhouseFrank]

Oh yes! For those of you who are joining the team and using the Sig-Generator made by JerMe and Christoph, remember to change it to F(OC)LD in the Generator! LOL. Took me 30 minutes to fix it in mine myself (kept forgetting to hit "save" button)

[nahmus]

good luck with the team guys!!!!

Oh hey frank...

want some pie.... you know you do...

[TollhouseFrank]

lol... look at da sig man... Its gotta be a cookie.

[nstabl]

why is my cpu only at 50% when im folding??!?!? i wanna give it 110%!!!!!!!! oh yea, what settings need changing done for me to fold for us :D

[TollhouseFrank]

find the folder where your F@H program is at, and look for your client.cfg. open that file with notepad, and you'll see some program settings. The first one should be username=Name. Just change the username=Name to username=F(OC)LD

WOAH!... looks like you have a P4!!! It is using 100% of your CPU, even though it shows up as 50% because of hyperthreading.

If you didn't know it already, you can fold 2 instances of F@H. Senior member Wedo made a "Wedo's One Click", which installs F@H into a predesignated folder, and with the Wedo One Click for P4's with Hyperthreading/Dual CPU machines, you can run 2 instances of F@H!!! here is the link for it, if you are interested http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=231247

you still have to edit the client.cfg to change it to F(OC)LD as the username, but it is a neat package to get everything set up for you.

[Seven]

Not bad. But I still got dibs on bragging rights until you guys pass me :P

Good work!

7

[electrorcamd]

Nice job, 999 points in the last 24 hours and 195PPD. Overtake of me is currently at 74 days, but I know it will be a whole lot sooner than that, lol.

[TollhouseFrank]

Yeah, our team is just starting to Ramp up Production. I've had 1 out of 7 Borgs report under F(OC)LD so far. when the other 6 report (4 of them on BP's)... our points are gonna shoot up. That doesn't include what the remnants of True_AMD_Folders brings, King_Warg... and a handful of new recruits that we managed to get into F@H.

[icesaber]

reporting for duty :) actually did some time ago, my first wu for the new subteam went in this morning.

let me know when the time comes to make a team webpage, I'll code it up although I don't know if I can host it myself (graduating and losing my webspace the 30th)...

[TollhouseFrank]

if you need hosting, I can possibly do it.. i have 15Mb's webspace provided by my ISP.

[icesaber]

that should be plenty. it'll be mostly textual :) that and jpegs aren't very big if you use the right compression...

[Seven]

Wow. You guys seem to just be picking up members like I pick up chicks :P

Very interesting...lets see if you guys make a blip in production.

7

[TollhouseFrank]

7, before picking up the peeps outside of the big 4 on the team (Myself, Strat, Ice, and King_Warg).... i had done a rough prediction that in a year, we'd have around 500,000 points with our combined might. With all the others adding in an unknown amount of powah... it may be a lot more.

[Seven]

Over my dead body. You'll have to pass me first.

Challenge? No. Annoying person in your right ear egging you on? Yes :)

7

[icesaber]

Wow. You guys seem to just be picking up members like I pick up chicks :P
actually I'm not a new member to the subteam. I was a cofounder of True_Amd_Folders, so let's just say I'm what they got when they added the teams together and carried the one ;)

[TollhouseFrank]

LOL.. Yeah, we got some baggage with the transfer of powah :p , but all in all... its good. And 7... it may not be for a few months... but we are pickin' up steam fast, and we'll pass ya along the way.

I'll make sure and give ya a cookie when we leave you in our dust. :D

[TollhouseFrank]

Got this from Electorcamd:


F(OC)LD site

I saw you talking about having a web site for the F(OC)LD subteam. If you want more than the 15MBs you get with your ISP, I might be able to host it once my server is setup (shouldn't be too long). I have ADSL with 384Kbps upload and unlimited bandwidth, so it shouldn't be a problem and I don't have anything else to host really. Let me know if you want me to.
electrorcamd

What do you all think?

[icesaber]

I'm cool with that. just let me know where to send the files when I get them set up :)

while electrorcamd does have plenty of bandwidth, I think I'll be nice and still keep it as textual as possible... just because I'm a nice guy.

[Seven]

I'll make sure and give ya a cookie when we leave you in our dust. :D

Seriously.

Have your wife mail me a fresh cookie when you pass me.

7

[electrorcamd]

lol, that's fine if you want to keep it simple.

[TollhouseFrank]

LOL

Ok. What type of cookie? :p

[stratcatprowlin]

Not bad for the first day eh boys? We don't even have all our power on the board yet.

Btw I dropped two tinkers this evening.

[Sjaak]

LOL

Ok. What type of cookie? :p

BUTTERCOOKIES

[TollhouseFrank]

just checked us out this morning... we are doing GREAT! Its like all 7 of my machines plus an additional 6 extra reported all at once! I have the sneaking suspicion that we have more than that! Keep it coming, folks!

[David]

I'm a little too far along to be joining a sub-team, but good luck! I'd love to see a sub-team in the top 20!

OC3d are in 9th place although, granted, Arkaine23 more or less IS OC3d....

TeamDFA are in 16th place, a gaming clan.


:D

[orionlion82]

Come On F(OC)LD!!!
EOC shoes me passing you in about 70 days...
wait, no- now its 90
uhhh...

holy cow, where did yall go? meh... good work guys!

at least i am shown to catch road warrior in 365 days :)

[RoadWarrior]

at least i am shown to catch road warrior in 365 days :)

Well you'll probably get a bit excited over the next couple of months, you could see that overtake drop to as close as 3 months. I'm one rig down right now, my basement got wet with the snow melting and I had to unplug it too hook up bigass box fans to dry it out. Then I'm moving on 31st May, so I may be offline for a couple of weeks, to maybe a month. Then after that, I'll be back with a bang, central air baby, no summer glitching for me :D and when I'm settled I should have 10Ghz going... So you've got maybe 3 months to knock hell out of that gap without too much competition from me. After that, you'll probably have to find a different target :D

[enduro]

lol why don't you join us orion? Then you can catch up with 1500 people in a few days ;)

[orionlion82]

love to join up, but i have absolutely 0% acess to 3 of my borgs... ill be playing around with getting more and more borgs, and depending on how cumbersome it is, someday i might join a subteam... appreciate the offer, but allso i think there is some value of individual users seeing that they can bring alot of power on their own...

[electrorcamd]

Its like all 7 of my machines plus an additional 6 extra reported all at once!

One of those would be my Sempron that turned in a 241 pt Tinker.
I should have my server setup over the weekend; I probably won't have time to do it tonight because of homework.

[TollhouseFrank]

that's great, man. I still have at least 5 machines left to report

[electrorcamd]

My Duron 1.6 @ 1872 (almost dedicated) will be finishing a 364 pt Gromacs sometime soon.

[TollhouseFrank]

that's sweet.... most of my machines are about 30% through a BP each.... except for this one.... its on a small 100 some pointer

[stratcatprowlin]

One of those would be my Sempron that turned in a 241 pt Tinker.
I should have my server setup over the weekend; I probably won't have time to do it tonight because of homework.

So after all that resistance you finally gave up? Great man! Welcome to the team!Good to have you.

[electrorcamd]

LOL, yeah. I figured I wouldn't be able to move up very far on my own after I hit the top 1500 and could hardly move up anymore at a decent rate.
I changed my main rig over 16 frames before it finished the Tinker, and my Duron a couple hours after that.

[TollhouseFrank]

thanks man. Every bit of powah is appreciated! Especially if its for Team 32!

[icesaber]

so far my my main rig has dumped a 241-ptr, and is working on a 364... my secondary rig is working on a gromacs right now, don't have the monitor hooked up to check size.

[TollhouseFrank]

do what i did. i shared the F@H directory on all my borgs on my network, and made a shortcut to each on my desktop, to check thier logs whenever i want.

[icesaber]

can't, no router. I just swap the monitor cable between them (no kvm either) and when one needs to use the net, I swap the net cable too.

[TollhouseFrank]

AH.... i have an easy way around that. Get an extra network card, a crossover cable (Cat5/ethernet, ask for it at a local electronics shop, and make sure you specify crossover cable)....

Stick the extra network card in one computer(the one that the internet is going to). Connect it and the other machine together with the crossover cable. all you have to do is set up internet connection sharing with the 2 machines (with the 'router' being the computer that the internet comes into).... and voila... simple 2 machine network.

[TollhouseFrank]

WOOT!!!!

we turned in 2,300 POINTS today!!!

if it keeps it up like this, we'll be a page 1 or 2 contender in NO TIME!!!

[nahmus]

as if i did not have enough to worry about. Maybe my california trip will yield some good borgs!

Nice pointage guys!

[icesaber]

F(OC)LD.hasPoints = true;

as for the crossover cable, I've thought about that, and I have enough cards to spare... trouble is, school network doesn't allow internet connection sharing or managed routers, if I try that they'll block my ip (it's happened before by accident).

[TollhouseFrank]

Man.. we are doing great. I know we have some more borgs out there... possibly some that are 24/7 folders?

[icesaber]

my (working) systems are all 24/7 as of right now... actually they have been since I built them.

[stratcatprowlin]

Starting to ramp up guys! Good work!

http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&username=F(OC)LD&teamnum=32

[TollhouseFrank]

this is GREAT.... won't be long till we are in the top 5 pages on the team.

[k3nshin]

we already turned orange! :D

[icesaber]

we already turned orange! :D

not long and we'll go to plaid :p

[stratcatprowlin]

16 clients have already shown up on the board! I'll be adding 2 more as soon as I can get access to them.Probably within the week. :burn:

[TollhouseFrank]

not long and we'll go to plaid :p

Am I the only one that caught the joke behind that? (Spaceballs)

[Seven]

Ah, you guys still have a long way to go.

It's gonna take you about 200k points to get to the frontpage by the time you get there...and the competition does heat up later on. Just you wait.

Anyway...I can't really tell if you guys are just combining old powah or adding new power, but nonetheless, great work.

[TollhouseFrank]

its a combination of Old and New Powah (and missing a chunk of it currently). the big 4 in it , myself, Strat, icesaber, and King_Warg, were representing nearly 85% of our team's powah. King_Warg's network went down, and he is currently working on fixing it. We do have the meatball twins, a machine of Jig-Pu's... Nstabl, electrorcamd, and a few others i can't remember off the top of my head that have joined in.

[k3nshin]

oh man we went maroon today! TO THE TOP! :D

I don't want my most dedicated folder from True_Amd_Folders aeiou to go unnoticed either.He has made the switch and is currently trying to get a hold of the rest of his borgs for us.

[enduro]

:D T-minus one month to page 4. If we can hit red we'll cruise right in ha ha.

[TollhouseFrank]

http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=381163

WE ARE THE TOP TEAM IN THE DIRECTORY!

well... mostly because we are alphebeitically... LOL

[mtb856]

Well, we hit the 1000th rank already........... should be pretty quick till about the second page :D

[TollhouseFrank]

yeah man... it took me 3 months to reach page 5. this team will make it there in 3 weeks.

[TollhouseFrank]

15 days till page 6 and passing where I stood when i joined F(OC)LD!!!

Not bad!!!

It took me 3 months to reach page 6 on my own. 15 days is awesome!

218 days until page 1 on the team!

WOOT!

let's see if we can't get some more borgage!

[enduro]

:D We've jumped 73 spots in 24hrs ha ha.

[King Warg²]

i think its time i get serious with the folding...college lets out in 2 weeks, and once it does I will reveal the full extent of my clusters potential output capacity (currently about 40% of possible max) and after my trip to dayton in may the bar will be raised on the max potential output, as i plan to bring back some new folding machines and enough parts to start sharing power supplies, and also there is the possibility of going all out with Tollhousefrank's help and making this as a replica of the ENIAC computer and filling that thing with a bunch of system boards, with one monitor in the center on a moving table and all the keyboard and mouse ports inside for quick access.

[stratcatprowlin]

My Lord. We are in for some ride!

[TollhouseFrank]

WOOT!

WELCOME BACK TO THE FOLD, KING_WARG!!!!

With college letting out soon, I will be able to go and help you on wednesday's now!

[TollhouseFrank]

been talkin' with 7... either he is thinkin' of joining us, or he wants to initiate a sub-teams battle against us... LOL.... haven't figured out which yet.

[stratcatprowlin]

Lets fight :temper:

[TollhouseFrank]

WOOT!

yeah, i'd say as soon as I can get it set up, i think gary and the folding monkeys was wanting to take us on as well

[TollhouseFrank]

HEY GUYS... LET'S GET SOME RECRUITING GOING!

WW5 is around the corner, and it looks like we have had at least 1 challenger take us up on it. I know Gary and his Folding_Monkeys would likely join as well, leaving {PMS}Fishy and possibly another subteam or 2 to stop by a join WW5...

Let's see what we can get borged!

[stratcatprowlin]

Lost one of my rigs guys. I'm selling. Need money lol. So for now I only have my 2.2ghz Barton folding 24/7.
I'll try and make up for it somehow.

For now I'll try slapping on my alpha heatsink and see how far I can go.
I got 200mhz on stock vcore already so I suspect at least another 100mhz maybe with some voltage even more.Wish me luck.

[TollhouseFrank]

ok man... sorry to hear ya had to sell a borg.

[stratcatprowlin]

OK I borged an XP2200 Also one P4 1.8 and a P4 2.4 on the way!

[TollhouseFrank]

that's great man!

i'm still waiting on the employee lounge and compies to be installed at work so i can get access to them...

i love it when they say "general employee use"... LOL.

especially since they said the machines are for 'relaxation, emails, insant messaging, and other such things to help promote employee happiness"

[stratcatprowlin]

O boy! Things took a turn for the better.I'll be adding a 2.2ghz Claw to my fold 24/7!!!

[enduro]

:D Awesome man. Good job.

[TollhouseFrank]

exactly.... Strat is doing a GREAT job.... he's out actively borging..... and here i am... waiting on work (Ticketmaster) to put in the employee lounge so i can borg those compies..LOL

[stratcatprowlin]

We're slowly slipping here guys.I know one of my rigs has been down for a few days but I hope to have a better one up next week.
Replacing the XP2800 with a 3400 Claw and keeping the 3200 Newcastle

[k3nshin]

it could be bec many more of us are doign BP. i know i am, i am turning less wu's per week bec i a m now folding bp's

[stratcatprowlin]

What big packets are you working on? I thought you had amd cpu's?
Not many of them going around for us.

Anyhow since our ppw are down I don't think it's that because the extra time it takes to finish those big packets would ultimately give us more points.
Well,I'll do all I can to borg more.Btw I got both my pc's back up and adding another this week:)
Onward!

[TollhouseFrank]

part of it is because 4 of my systems are no longer 24/7 folders... they are only about 8/7 folders... LOL.

[stratcatprowlin]

part of it is because 4 of my systems are no longer 24/7 folders... they are only about 8/7 folders... LOL.

8/7? don't you mean 8/24? lol.
Anyway we turned in over 2 thousand points again in the last 24 hours!
cool.

[whitebloodcell]

I just joined up. Not much but hopefully will help out. A P3 600 folding 24/7. A P4 3000 pretty much 24/7 and another P42800 pretty much 24/7. I'm hoping to add a couple of borgs later on, just need to instruct my friends on how to change things.

(is there any advantage to having 2 instances of F@H running on hyperthreading P4s?)

[stratcatprowlin]

Welcome! Great to have you on the team.Your adding some decent power too:)
There is a slight point advantage in running dual instances with a HT cpu but the real points are in the bigpacket QMD's.They take about 500mb's of ram alone and should only be run with one instance.

[whitebloodcell]

Do the points I already had as my previous username get transferred over? Only 99 points but every little helps.

[stratcatprowlin]

Do the points I already had as my previous username get transferred over? Only 99 points but every little helps.

Unfortunately no.You have to change the client name then stop the service and delete the work folder in program files.Then restart with the new name and your folding with us.

[whitebloodcell]

Unfortunately no.You have to change the client name then stop the service and delete the work folder in program files.Then restart with the new name and your folding with us.

All I did was change the username in client.cfg So Ive done something wrong...Well I have control over these comps, so fixable. On a good note I just borged anther 2.8Ghz P4. Probably only on for 10hrs a day, but still.

[stratcatprowlin]

Yeah just try it again like I told you how.

[TollhouseFrank]

hey Whitebloodcell!

WELCOME to F(OC)LD!

white, if you need any help here in the folding forums, strat, icesaber, or I are more than willing to help.

[whitebloodcell]

Wells thanks alot! I got the P3 and one of the P4s happily folding away for the team now. I made a mistake with the borg I acquired so I gotta sort that out later, and then the last P4. When thats done we should have some nice folding power!

[stratcatprowlin]

When thats done we should have some nice folding power!

Yes sir!

well by BP's i ment the last two wu'smi had were too 2xx point wu's and the one i am workign on naw is a 3xx pointer. thats a bp to me compared to one of those 3x pointers. but i guess its not a real bp though... w/e

[stratcatprowlin]

Good work K3nshin you are an integral part of this team and we need all you can do.
Thanks:)

[icesaber]

sorry I've been so quiet so long guys. I have some bad news...

I'm afraid some of those power hits have been me. I'll just make it simple. I haven't found a better job yet, and I'm being kicked out of my dorm this coming week (end of term). I'm going to crash @ my g/f's house for now but they're on a single income and refuse to take cash for the power bill from me... so I'm not going to have anything folding for about a month or however long it takes me to find something $10/hour or better... I already have my folding boxes torn down and moved there (effectively in storage) and I'm on the laptop here. TH

sorry guys. I'll get my rigs up as soon as I can... power bill at the future apt may be an issue too, that and the g/f not being hot on "wasting power" as she puts it. some people just don't understand.

I'll try to be on at least once a week or so, I don't really have much access to the internet from there, and I'll be there as of sometime this coming week.

if you really need to reach me, my email addresses are icesabre2001@hotmail.com and icesabre_1200@yahoo.com.

godspeed, team.

-Mitch

[TollhouseFrank]

ouch, sorry to hear that, mitch.

I hope you can find something suitable for the area!

Just wish you were around here... you can make a decent living on 6.00 an hour!

at 6.50 an hour plus commission, i'm doin' great!

LOL

[stratcatprowlin]

Mitch pm me with your new Phone # please.

[enduro]

That sucks man.............well I hope everything works out............we do what we can.

[stratcatprowlin]

9,204 points this week! O yeah!

[TollhouseFrank]

yup... Strat... I believe we have us a good Subteam... i think powah-wise... we are the #3 subteam, we just gotta get the points in to prove it.

[man_utd]

ok, I will move over my 4. Was folding under the name ri for 12867, but oh well, team was going no where.

With us you shall share the glory that is in our future!
Thank you for joining as we need your power just as much as any other of our members.
We are a team that celebrates the variety and number of our fold.
No one is greater than the whole here.Welcome.

[aeiou]

I no longer have a 1.1ghz athlon folding for the team. Maybe it will be back up soon, but for now it has been rplaced with a 2500 ;) Its not on all the time, but its still folding sometimes.

[stratcatprowlin]

Ahh O faithful aeiou!
Good to see you back in the thread.Congrats on your new XP2500!

ps.sorry for all the dogma.I've been watching too much Ceasar tonight lol.

[TollhouseFrank]

WELCOME TO TEAM32!

WELCOME TO THE F(OC)LD!

[jerseytomato]

way to go F(OC)LD! At this moment I just got passed by F(OC)LD in points.
rank 694 19,554 F(OC)LD
rank 695 19,519 jerseytomato

[TollhouseFrank]

hey Jersey.... why not join us?

[enduro]

^ What he said. We need all the help we can get. We'd love to have you onboard.

[TollhouseFrank]

one of my borgs is down temporarily. Its a compy of mine i was letting someone borrow... they broke the agreement I had with them on what was allowed with teh computer and what wasn't (can we say shareaza hub central?).

Needless to say, I got it back, wiped it, and it will be folding again sometime soon.

[whitebloodcell]

Im trying to set up a few borgs...but my friends arent exactly computer smart so I need to walk them through installation in baby steps. And then I check that everything has gone right. Is Folding affected by Firewalls? The one that comes with windows anyway? Do I need to instruct them to give it access?

[stratcatprowlin]

Fah will not have any issues with Windows firewall at all.No need to configure it.

[whitebloodcell]

Then thats a 2.8 P4 added then!

[TollhouseFrank]

way to go, WBC! way to go!

[TollhouseFrank]

crap.. i lost another borg. this one is permanent.

the one that my friend used to use... am hoping i can get it back to working. no guaruntees... he BADLY messed it up.

[stratcatprowlin]

lol how did he mess it up?

[TollhouseFrank]

looks like mobo is dead on it

[man_utd]

All 4 are on now, with 2 more probably on the way.

[enduro]

Wow.........he killed the motherboard? What happened?

[TollhouseFrank]

he decided that he'd take a hammer to it.

[Cjwinnit]

Damn, you lot are on fire. Give you a few weeks and you might be able to look at FTWL and the Ninjas.. :(

[TollhouseFrank]

LOL.

Oh yeah guys... got back 2 borgs.... Different compies... but 2 more borgs... nearly same specs as i had before.. so i'm back up to full powah

[man_utd]

Wait, this guy is your friend?

[aeiou]

Ahh O faithful aeiou!
Good to see you back in the thread.Congrats on your new XP2500!

ps.sorry for all the dogma.I've been watching too much Ceasar tonight lol.

Well, its not really mine, but I did borg it ;) . Its my friends. He had my 1.1ghz t-bird in his comp untill he could get a new proc. He got a 2500 and now it is going strong. Hopefully I will be able to scrounge up the parts and get that one back up and running. I am also currently building an athlon 64 3200 winnie for someone at work, hopefully I can borg that- shold be done withing a week or 2- just waiting for the parts to be delivered.

p.s.- thanks for the support, strat. I like to think I am helping out a bit.

edit: btw- I've got:
xp3200(24/7)
xp1700(24/7)
Xp2500(?)
xp2700(not yet switched over (?))
A642800(?)

also, Someone at work just got a mac mini and I'm trying to get him to fold on it. It wont be much, but it will be a bit.
I'm hoping to get an ibook G3 800mhz pretty soon, too- wont be much, but it will fold.

There is another person at work that wants a cheap pc- thinking of a duron 1.8 for them- hopfully I can borg that too.

[stratcatprowlin]

So much for my new Clawhammer.It arrived DOA from a forum member.Dammit!

[whitebloodcell]

I am hoping to try and harness the power of my School Network for folding, I'm trying to put together a good argument. What sort of problems would a school/business have with it would you imagine? I'll need to have an asnwer to any of their concerns.

[TollhouseFrank]

http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=161207
i got the following from the above link, a sticky in our F@H forum

----- Here's a popular version of a permission letter by Arkain 32 ---

To the ACC Computer Science Department,

I am writing on behalf of the members of the Folding@Home community to bring the Folding@Home Distributed Computing project to your attention.

The Folding@Home project uses spare processor cycles to synthesize and calculate how proteins fold, misfold, and aggregate. The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, remains a mystery. Moreover, perhaps not surprisingly, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious repercussions, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, and Parkinson's disease.

Folding@Home is a distributed computing project, which in essence is a technique that uses the internet to create a tremendous super-computer. By splitting the workload and sending small portions out to volunteers who donate their CPU time, the project is able to harness tens of thousands of CPU’s and move forward more far more quickly than it would running on a Cray super-computer. The folding client runs on an idle priority and never takes CPU cycles that are needed for other processes. Think of a CPU’s cycles as a glass of water. When you browse the internet or process documents, you only drink 1/20 of the glass, and the rest is unused.... The folding client "drinks" the other bits of water. The client lets the other programs take as much as they need. This in no way spies on your activities. Studies have shown that Folding@Home does not impact the performance of computers, and it only needs internet access to receive work packets and to send results, which occurs anywhere from three times per day to twice per week depending on the particular work unit and CPU involved. Bandwidth use is minimal and it operates on standard www and https ports 80 or 8080. Many schools and corporations are starting to help the scientific community by joining this or similar projects.

If security is an issue with your decision on allowing the client to be installed, I can assure you that the F@H client is quite safe. It uses a digital signature that is verified with each download of a new work unit. The signature is a very secure way to verify that no bogus files have been downloaded that may attack/affect your system. The Folding@Home project does not cost anything to you. The school can form its own official team for stats tracking and can then compete against teams (even other colleges) worldwide. Your individual lab administrators may form their own usernames within the team and compete with each other. Clients are available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD.

You do not gain anything from folding, but science does and perhaps someday this research will cure protein disorders or find new treatments for some types of cancer, in which case the whole human race benefits. All in all, the client is free and uses very little hard drive space. You may find other uses for the client as well. In monitoring a few dozens of folding@home clients, I've found that they can help pinpoint hardware problems. The folding@home community and I hope that you will think about allowing this client to be installed on some of the school’s computers, even if only on a trial basis. Whatever you decide, I thank you for your time and consideration.

I urge you to seek more information about this exciting DC project at the official Folding@Home site: http://folding.stanford.edu

[Bon3thugz43v3r]

Great job guys on the new subteam. You'r definitley ripping through the ranks. Congrats. :beer:

[TollhouseFrank]

thanks bone... it'll take some time to get up to page 1 where we planned to be... but by this time next year, we should be on page 1 of Team32

[King Warg²]

college is over, aside from finals week.. when the nerve pains stop and i am actually able to walk again witness shall you the power of the unintegrated supercomputer.

[icesaber]

hey all :)

I'm going to try to get this box (imac w/ a G3 600MHz) folding for now. so I can at least say I'm trying to contribute...

oh, and I finally convinced the g/f that my term "lab" for the future doesn't consist of 10+ boxes, so she's opening to the idea of me having 4 or 5 boxes folding. she comes from a very conservationist background... it's called compromise though. I wouldn't mind having 10+ boxes folding... but for now it doesn't matter, someday it may come to pass.

-Mitch

Hmmm progress eh? Cool man!
As for me,my XP 2800 rig is down from a smoked HDD.Only the 3200 Newcastle running for now.

[whitebloodcell]

Ive got a P3 600 Folding 24/7 but my dad is having some problems with it. The comp is as said before left running all the time. Used maybe once a day to check his Email. But since I installed the folding client, which uses up 100% CPU when running, outlook is taking up to 5mins to start. The comp seems to take a while to send a request for CPU time, then folding has to react. So, anyone else have trouble with low power systems folding? Is there a way to say, only allow folding 80% CPU?

EDIT: Nevermind, I had a better look and what was happening was, as soon as I he/I hit the shortcut for Outlook, Folding went down to 2% or something, but then Sophos Antivirus decided to take 98% and was refusing to give up. So Sophos is gone now.

[icesaber]

yeah, I've never had any problems like that with folding. I did have problems before with an antivir eating performance alive on a P2 system I had back in the day... back when P3's were just coming out :) ahh, reminiscence...

-Mitch

[whitebloodcell]

:) ahh, reminiscence...

-Mitch

Reminiscense indeed. I remember when I got that P3, the guy who came to install it said it was the fastest computer he had seen...

[aeiou]

We can officially add a a64 3200 Winnie to the roster. For now, it will be 24/7- but when I get it all up an running I will have to give it to its owner ( :( ). I'm not sure how much he will have it running, I will try to get him to just leave it on.

[k3nshin]

yes! we went red today! hopefully we can keep it that way! :D

[stratcatprowlin]

Yeah we did. We got some more ammo comin too :D

[whitebloodcell]

yes! we went red today! hopefully we can keep it that way! :D

What does we went red mean?

[aeiou]

over 1600 ppd

[stratcatprowlin]

Shucks we dipped under 1600! Well I'll be dropping a tinker tonight somaybe that will help a bit.

[TollhouseFrank]

looks like we are doin great, guys!

sorry i've been away a bit. Work, amtgard, wife... takes a toll on my OCforums time. I'm still around, its just going to be a bit of a reduced role. BORG ON!

~Cookie Commander

[stratcatprowlin]

It's all good Frank.We all have things to do in real life. :)

[man_utd]

Added two more pcs today, a p3 800 and a 1.6 p4. Not great, but okay.

[electrorcamd]

We all have things to do in real life.
I don't have that much to do. :)
Anyways, I'm still trying to get the server working. I'm having some problems with setting up iptables.

[the garynator]

Hmmmm.... i've been thinking... What do you guys think about joining forces with the folding_monkeys...we'd fold under your name....but i do want something in return... possibly a co-leader position... i'd help you guys make decisions and stuff... what do you guys think... we'd be well into the 3k ppd territory.

[whitebloodcell]

I like the idea of that but I guess its not down to me.

[TollhouseFrank]

Gary, we would be proud to have you in the F(OC)LD.

I'd would hate to see the folding_monkeys fold, though (pun intended).

I'd prefer if you talked it over with your current team members first, and got thier opinion. I don't want you leaving your team leaderless just to join us.

Co-Leadership? Possibly. Would hafta talk it over with strat (co-leader) and icesaber (advisor and ready to step up to co-leader if i or strat can't do our jobs). Just think on it man. We would love to have you over, but i personally would not want to see it cause the falling apart of another great subteam.

Anyways, you all have a great day!

[TollhouseFrank]

updateon my system:

I thought it was down, as it did nothing but stay on blank screen on boot. Everything I did didn't work. Then, i looked at my HSF. There was a layer of dust caked on top of it as thick as a pancake! (sorry, didn't take pictures, was madly beating my heatsink onto my porch railing to knock the dust loose).

no dust.... booted up perfectly... am going to see how much of my problems were caused my my HSF having tha tmuch dust on it (obviously keeping air from moving through it.)

[stratcatprowlin]

Hmmmm.... i've been thinking... What do you guys think about joining forces with the folding_monkeys...we'd fold under your name....but i do want something in return... possibly a co-leader position... i'd help you guys make decisions and stuff... what do you guys think... we'd be well into the 3k ppd territory.

Gary,after all the planning and work I put in to get this team started with Frank I will not hand over my position to you unless I am forced to do so by my team mates.I don't think Frank would give you his spot either so If you are to join us,there will have to be another solution.

[TollhouseFrank]

I can see it we have 2 advisors, strat. Icesaber(Advisor#1) is there in that position, ready and willing to help us where needed, and if need be, to take over a co-leader spot if either of us cannot do it for whatever reason. Why not have 1 more that can do that? (2nd advisor... steps in after Ice steps in... say for example... both me and you hafta step down for personal reasons or what-not... we could have 2 peeps step in that could help keep this subteam afloat). Doesn't sound so bad to me, and besides, with gary's experience organizing a subteam of his own, I can see that he would be very valuable to the team, and well able to help us with anything we needed help organizing.

Ok that sounds good to me. Gary are you happy with that role?

[TollhouseFrank]

an update... about to pass my old mark.... we are just a few spots back from my old folding name, TollhouseFrank.... it took me 3 months to get to 539.... here we've done it in nearly 3 weeks. Great going guys! Let's keep it up!

[the garynator]

I've been thinking about it, if it were to happen, it wouldn't be tomorrow... and yes i'd make sure the whole team joined not just a couple of us... basically it's me and two other people in folding_monkeys... don't know of any other members besides "the new guy" and all of our borgs. It will take time to decide, and even if i decide to join, it may not happen if the other team members decide not to. I'll keep you posted... btw strat... i wasnt' trying to replace either of you, merely to be equal. i'll think it over as should you guys. cheers :)

[stratcatprowlin]

Understood.In that case climb on board and be the 4th head on our dragon!

[TollhouseFrank]

update on my compy... new mobo... new HSF... still same problems... CPU is still overheating. So i'm going to wait until next paycheck and get a new CPU. If that is all that is killing it, then great. If not, then i'm going to have to fix one thing per paycheck.

[man_utd]

Added a 800mhz athlon last night.

[TollhouseFrank]

managed to sweet talk my parents into buying me a new proc... its not much... (a sempron 2400+...) but its still better than no CPU at all... So i'm foldin' away MUCH slower... but still foldin'.

Anyways, glad to see F(OC)LD is growing!

I may have to step partially aside in the near future and take on a more 'advisory' than co-leadership role. Just thought i'd warn you all. Life is getting really busy.

[stratcatprowlin]

I'll step it up if needed Frank don't worry.I'm always online.:)

[man_utd]

Keep the rigs, we don't need your kind here ;) No seriously, Frank you are half the reason we are where we are, be a shame to see you gone for a while.

[TollhouseFrank]

i'm gonna keep on folding, i just think i may put my OCForums life on hold for a couple-3 weeks to calm things down in Real Life.

I'm working on possibly switching jobs, and getting ready to get my a new place to rent (with my wife).... stuff like that... i'm gonna be uber-busy for a bit.

still guys, keep it up!

~Frank

[the garynator]

good luck man :)

[TollhouseFrank]

hey team... i'm gonna be down 1 machine for a day or so here.. and doing a total reformat and install on my machine. where i had all the hardware problems before, it glitched my windows install..... so i'm gonna reinstall and hope no more glitching.

~frank

[stratcatprowlin]

Oh Frank your not the only one.My XP 2800 rig is going to be up for sale:(.
I need some money to catch up with some other things and can't afford to maintain it.
I'll be down to my main rig for I don't know how long honestly.

[icesaber]

hey all, sorry again for the quiet spell :)

needless to say, I was shocked to come back to another merger... but not disappointed.

I offer this option: a team with co-captains doesn't have to be led by only two. we could make it into an oligarchy. I mean, why *not* have 3 co-captains? it's an option anyway. and besides, as some others have pointed out, gary does have good experience with team management and would be a definite asset.
that's just my 2 cents on the topic.
that and I like the fm avatar :) and I remember a comment about "MPGA" (props if you remember).

I don't remember who was talking about it, but someone was talking about getting a duron 1.8GHz for somebody at work... I can tell you now that durons are real dogs for folding, worse than semps. My morgan at 1.2GHz took over a week to do a 120ptr! I can't speak for the applebreds, but with the same cache I expect similar results. get them to spend the extra $20 and get an XP (maybe an 1800+? I had one that did 2.5GHz on air), they WILL notice the improvement, and not just in folding ;)

official: my move-in date is june 2. I'll try to get something up and running asap when I'm in.

well, I should get back to my surprisingly busy life now... and off this damned mac! GYAH!

[TollhouseFrank]

i've noticed one thing with the sempron i had to get to replace my 3200+ barton... my barton could do a 240 point tinker in about 4-4:30 minute frames.... my 2400+ Sempron replacement is doing them in about 8-10:00 minutes per frame. A LOT slower... but it still gets the job done.

[the garynator]

just a thought, what would you think about having a council vs. team leaders.. like seeing as each of you two kinda had a team prior, when teams merge with you, they could be a member of the council...if I joined and brought my team with me, then i'd be on the council as would both of you...just a thought, still don't know if i'm coming over.

[stratcatprowlin]

Absolutely.I think a larege team like this could use some more input and help.

Mitch,always feel free to give your two cents.They are often worth more than other peoples dollars:) I agree with you here and good luck with your move.

[aeiou]

I didn't know durons were THAT bad. Maybe I will go for an xp in it... He doesn't actually care whats in the system- as long as its cheap ;)

In other news, the A643200 rig is done and delivered- he says that he will keep it running all of the time.... Wooo HOOOO.


Whats up with this production slump, though? The last 2 days we've been under 1000pts and it doesn't look good for today, either. I'll be droping a 600 pointer tomorrow, so I hope someone else can follow suit! :)

It's better not to think this way. We're (as team32) are weaker and weaker, and it would be good to stop this process and gain more strenght and to keep folding. It's not only about getting new comps or chewing BPs from time to time. We need to keep borged comps folding.

Venom I beleive he knows this to be true but was merely hoping for an increase in points.Not a sin in my book.

Actually, what I meant was that hopefully most of the computers on F(OC)LD had been chewing on BP's and were all preparing to dump them at once...........

[TollhouseFrank]

i had 3 boxen reformated and everything the past 3 days.... i lost 2 BP's in the process... so it'll be another day or 2 until they dump... that... and this sempron doesn't fold worth a damn.

anyways, i do believe that part of the slump is some of us (strat and I) have lost a couple of borgs to reasons beyond our control... others are probably part time folders (only on during the day... or less than 8 hours a day)... and they do get them done, just not as often as some of us who have them on 24/7

[mtb856]

Well, we had something happen at our work.......... which makes it extremely unlikely that we'll be able to borg any more of our work computers. One of the guys that we work with got caught gaming on the network and lied about it, so the IT guys are kind of mad at the people in our workplace............. which is a bummer.

Oh well........ we move on!!!

[TollhouseFrank]

hey mtb... write them a VERY nice letter about F@H... and ask VERY NICELY for permission to try it on 2 totally seperate boxen as controlled subjects... that if they don't like what it does, you will get rid of it for them.

[mtb856]

Yeah, first I need to walk over there and apologize. Hopefully I can restore good relations with them and then talk to them about FAH.

[TollhouseFrank]

that's a good way to start out, mtb. get all nice with them, then ask if you can be allowed to try F@H on a pc or 2 as an experiment (after telling them what F@H is about). If you are nice enough... and give them some time to get used to the idea... you might be surprised what IT guys will open up to do (they have a right to be paranoid, trust me... after having worked for a university's IT department for 2 years... you get VERY paranoid over every packet going in and out of the network)

[Ven0m]

It would be really cool if you could get more comps to folding, but in such situations it's very hard.

I'm not here to bash anyone or anything like that, but it's real pain to see machine count drop in our team, when opponents are increasing in power with around 1.5k whooping machines folding for each.
There are tons of comps around me idling and I can't help it. Recently I convinced a few guys to folding for team 32, but these are only a few machines and I have no idea if they're going to fold long, or maybe just one month or week.

[stratcatprowlin]

There are tons of comps around me idling and I can't help it.
I know it's a real pain.My own sister will not allow me to borg her machine.After I built it for her too!

[TollhouseFrank]

hmm... i know guys... it happens though. Sometimes forces conspire on each of us that we have no control over. Usually financial for most of us... but we just have to remember, that it is for the long haul for folding. Those guys on top didnt' do it in a day. They've been at it for years.

[TollhouseFrank]

we've had 1 BP drop already guys. Hopefully we get some more today, and that explains why we had a bit of a drop in production. I'm currently on a p741_Villin-pfold-protein-confined myself... and its going slow as heck.... but it'll get done.

[Ven0m]

I think I'll switch my Barton to advmethods... all the time I get ****ty tinkers, like 57-pointer just now. Gromacs seem to be better for me, at least they don't hate me like Tinkers. :/

[whitebloodcell]

I know it's a real pain.My own sister will not allow me to borg her machine.After I built it for her too!

My brother wont allow me either. A P4 2.8 just sitting there most of the time. He leaves it running all day, and isnt there most the time. He has some insane notion that there must be a catch, and no amount of evidence will convince him otherwise.

[stratcatprowlin]

Hey! I was able to rma my fried hard drive so my XP 2800 will be folding 24/7 again next week sometime!

[TollhouseFrank]

hey guys...we are up to 1500 points again today! I should be droppin' at least 1 WU here in an hour or so... maybe 2... look at us to hit about 2,000 Points today!

[aeiou]

We're doing better these past few days... Keep it up!

[TollhouseFrank]

yeah.. i think it was a bout of BP's that hit us.... they all dumped over the past 3 or so days... and if we get more... it'll be another slow 2 or 3 days, then another bout of big days of points.

[mjw21a]

Come on guy's. You can't expect a Sempron 2400+ to fold anywhere near as well as an Athlon XP 3200+. It doesn't even have all that much to do with it having half as much L2 cache. It's mostly to do with clock speed.

Just think about it. A 3200+ runs at 2.2GHz with a 200MHz double pumped FSB. A socket A Sempron 2400+ on the other hand only runs at 1.67GHz with a 166MHz double pumped FSB. The 500MHz lower CPU clockspeed and lower FSB bandwidth is bound to take it's toll.

Why not push the FSB up to 200MHz to give you a 2GHz CPU? It'll still be slower than the XP 3200+, but much faster than it is right now.

You really would have been better off with the 1.8GHz Duron as it has a 13.5 multiplier and a 133MHz FSB. If you can achieve a stable 172MHz FSB this CPU will be running 2322MHz, which should cause it to outperform your XP 3200+ in f@h, but not in gaming.

Remember that clockspeed tends to be more important than bandwidth (so long as you have 512MB) with f@h single CPU rigs.

[TollhouseFrank]

I'd push it hire as soon as i can get a more stable PSU, and can figure out my RAM settings to get it to a higher FSB.

[aeiou]

Hoorayyy!!! We're red again!

[stratcatprowlin]

Hoorayyy!!! We're red again!

Yes we are! Man I finally got a big packet! lol.
I also got my A64 3200 and XP2800 Folding 24/7 again too!

[icesaber]

frank-
simple to handle that memory stuff. loosen your timings (maybe 3-4-4-10 for now?) and up the vdimm to 2.7 or 2.8v. that should get it quite a bit higher at a cost of latency.
as for the PSU, don't be too worried. I had an NF7 w/ a thoroughbred 1800+ @ 2.5GHz 1.85v completely rock-solid stable 24/7 on an x-brand 350w psu. will a nicer psu be better? yes. but not worlds better, unless you're trying to power pelts in parallel...

as for folding, my g/f found the client on her mac and got ****ed, so it had to come off. she's convinced that it makes the machine use more power. what a crock, it's a mac and folds worse than my laptop for christ's sake... even though it's a 600MHz :(

that's all on my end for now.

[TollhouseFrank]

Ice.... right now, the PSU is the only thing holdin' me back, really. My old one is dying. Its pulling some freaky stuff.... its now starting to make 'electical arc' sounds when i turn on my compy...

oh yeah, new PSU came in today while i was at the wake for my grandmother.... i'll get it put in probably sometime this next week, when i get time.

[man_utd]

If only I could get my P4s from getting repeated tinkers, gah.

[stratcatprowlin]

oh yeah, new PSU came in today while i was at the wake for my grandmother
I'm sorry to hear that Frank I didn't know.

[TollhouseFrank]

its ok strat... i'm goin to her funeral this morning.... its in about 2 hours. i should be back and overclockin' in a few days.

[enduro]

:eh?: Sorry to hear that Frank.

To perk you up........in a little over 3 months we will be on the first page!

[TollhouseFrank]

hey guys... got my new PSU in and installed

its a Rosewill RV450S

So far, so good. The power is a LOT more stable that my old PSU. Sure, i miss the LED fans and such... but more stable power is better, IMO. Also, there seems to be MORE power.... i can now HEAR the difference in my fans... they spin faster, and my Volcano 11 now has more than 3 speed ranges.... it now actually has near INFINITE variability....

am hoping the PSU upgrade fixes my problems.

lol yeah that's what I experienced when I Got my Fortron FSP400.
I checked the case fans speeds and they were spinning like one thousand rpm's faster than before.Unbeleivable!

btw 150 points from 400th place on team 32.

[TollhouseFrank]

sweet, tony, sweet. I looked at us in a year, and it had us between #70 and #56 on the team, depending on the day i looked... so i can see us being front page in a year, if we can keep up this pace.

[whitebloodcell]

Our pace should quicken as we keep on trying to get borgs, so maybe in 9months :)

[man_utd]

Whats with the points though. One day we will put out 3k, next 700. Totally bizarre.

[stratcatprowlin]

That's because we're dumping the majority of our work units at the same time.

[enduro]

Have you noticed the time to the front page jumps a lot. It was 3 months the other day...........then it was 7 months.........now it's 5 months.........

[stratcatprowlin]

It's the ebb and flow of active members making changes in time.

[TollhouseFrank]

it also depends on the day. some days, every one of my borgs dump WU's.... other days... none of them do. It just depends.

[man_utd]

Hmm, I can borg a Transmeta Crusoe laptop, probably would fold like a slug, you guys think it's worth it?

[TollhouseFrank]

try it.. but set it to like... 25 ort 50% cpu usage at first

[enduro]

Yeah I'd do that because my fan runs constantly on my laptop unless it's on battery so definitely set it to not run on battery and set it to 50% or so.

[man_utd]

meh, I decided it wasn't worth it. The thing runs so slow, and this laptop has no fans, so I decided against it.

[TollhouseFrank]

ah... that sucks to hear... oh yeah, work almost has the 'general use employee computers' up and running... as soon as they are in and up... i'm puttin F@H on them, as they expressly said "these pc's will be for the general use and enjoyment of our employees, for chat, e-mail, internet games, or whatever you may desire as a way to relax"

lol.

anyways guys... The Cookie Commander is a captain in WW5.... any ideas on a team slogan for those that will be under me during WW5?

[TollhouseFrank]

borged one more... lost another... but it'll soon come back up online (needs a HD is all... will soon have that, and it'll be residing at my aunt and uncle's as thier new compy)

[dark_15]

Do you want a cookie? :D

[stratcatprowlin]

Man I think we're ready for the new competition. Over 1700ppd? wow!

[TollhouseFrank]

I just checked. Yer right Tony. We are at 1700+PPD. My rig is now finally stable (turns out my DDR400 was mislabeled... its more like DDR266). I'm now up 1 machine, temporarily down another... and as soon as work gets them in (should be within the month), i'll have 3-4 more rigs folding for us.

[icesaber]

great news guys! (forgive my sarcasm)
I broke up with the girl I've been with for almost 2 years... she's been all that was keeping my a64, duron and choir of p1's from folding. nothing stopping them now. no point, not anymore. they'll be folding again once they're set back up.

Mitch out.

[TollhouseFrank]

OUCH.....

that really sucks man. Sorry to hear it. If there is anything ya need... I'm here for ya man. Heck.. I think any of us would be here for ya.

I"ll keep a prayer out there for ya.

~Frank

[whitebloodcell]

Managed to borg a friends laptop, P43Ghz I think. Not sure how long he keeps it on for, but every little helps.

[icesaber]

ok, this is volatile.
I'm moved back in with my folks for a while, but Nicki and I got back together, just dating this time for now. going through this whole mess gave us a better perspective on what we really had...
my main rig is the only one set up for now, but it's folding. got a tinker. bleh.

Mitch out

[TollhouseFrank]

hey mitch. just take life as it comes at ya. RL is more important than anything here. Dont' screw up RL because of us. If you need to take a few days off, then do so.

[stratcatprowlin]

Mitch your back just in time for the big race! :) We need your powah! I know things will work out with Nicki.Sorry to hear you went through all that though.My wife and I go through our own problems too.We just have to go at it day by day sometimes.
Welcome back!

[stratcatprowlin]

Guys try and make sure your rigs are fully stable cause someone turned in a 5 point wu on 05/27 12am.Just a heads up to make sure that cpu doesn't keep doing it.

[TollhouseFrank]

i think it was mine... we had a power blip and it screwed up my WU

[whitebloodcell]

My Comp is going to be out for a bit whilst I reinstall Windows and get it back up and running. Enough is enough, there is only so many errors I can deal with.

[TollhouseFrank]

thats ok WBC. just get things fixed, and it'll all come into line.

[stratcatprowlin]

wow we actually went down one place on the list today:( Edit make that 6! Time to OC :)

[TollhouseFrank]

that happens sometimes. we are getting up into the part of the list where people still fold VERY actively. it's gonna be a while until we get to page 1. We are lookin' at near september to reach that far, if we are lucky enough to get there.
