~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Again, Thanks for taking the time to allow me to interview you.

When did you join the Team? Approximate date is ok if you don't know the specific date.
Extreme stats lists my first WU returned 12-24-06

If there was something recent that you did that you wanted your fellow teammembers to know about, what would it be?
Finally got off my behind and took the "licence to carry concealed handgun" course. I am through with all the paperwork (fingerprints, affidavits, passport photos, application, etc.) just need to mail it off and wait 6-12 weeks. LoL

What is your EOC (extremeoverclockers) stats link?
EOC

You do not have to give specifics (address), but what State do you live in, and if you don't mind telling, what town? (town is not required, but if not a town, a general direction and distance from the nearest 'big town/city' would suffice)
Corpus Christ. Its in south Texas...Very south.

How did you initially hear about F@H?
Right here in the forums.

After starting, why do you continue to Fold?
Besides for the science, I am and have been a total, helpless stats monkey.Love the competition. I really want the Aussies. GRRrrrrrrr.

What do you do for a living?
Work in a bar. Thats kinda funny cuz I don't drink.

What do you do for fun?
I am a hardcore gamer. Love FPS, but right now I am playing Oblivion for the first time and I must say I am hooked right through the bag. Great game.

Is there anything special you do in your spare time that you really enjoy?
I read 2 to 4 book a week. All kinds, but I really like hard SciFi and Hard military (Clancy)

Time to spill your guts. What are the stats of your main folding rig? Why is it your fave? What all do you use the rig for?
I started folding 2 days after I got my new rig online. Its a C2D E6600, 2 gigs DDR2 800 4-4-4-12, P5B "vanilla", XfX 7900GS. Corsair 620 PSU, and a Thermalright HR-01 w/ duct.I use this mostly for surfing, gaming, and making various art like photo manips and fractals. I have a DA page where some (most) of my stuff is posted. Just run Hookj5 through Google and ...Bam! ther you go. Its running back at stock speeds while I regroup. Pscout was helping me OC and I got all the way to 3.1 but I ran into a wall, so I updated my bios and then it wouldn't boot. Gonna take another run at 3.2 (my goal) as soon as I get 2 high cfm 120 mm fans either from the egg or fleabay or from right here. 8)

Do you have a Borg-Farm? If so, how many computers, and what are they? (CPU, RAM)
No farm, just a computer at work running a single instance single core 24/7 and my main rig running 1 SMP in VMware/Ubuantu (thanks Lee) and 1 in windows.

What are your future goals? What do you most want to accomplish with your life?
Not to get a real job!! Folding goal is to catch Sleepy Steve. Hear me comming Steve?

If there is something you want to tell the team, then spill your guts! What have I missed in my questions that could help the team learn more about you and who you are?
I have been a member of this forum for a while now, but I never felt a part of the community until I started reading and posting in the folding room. I would really like to thank all who have read and all who have replied to my posts. You have really made me feel a part of. Thanks! I will send pics soon...promise. HooK out!

Nice to meet you Hook! I was at Ft. Hood up until last August and a guy I worked with (DoD civilian) moved to CC right before I left. Almost visited there once while in SA, but it got too late and I didn't make it there.

Anyway, nice to have you aboard - Fold on!

You really hit the nail on the head with this quote Hook. Instead of answering the 1000 post on "Is this Build good" We get to have the folks in here answer for the 2000 time "How do I Fold?"( I swear I only asked that twice)

Glad to here more about you.WTF

[Hack30]

Good to have you here Hook! Fold on!!

[inkfx]

Nice to meet you, Hook! Good luck on your CCW application!
