lol i just stick to JPG, BMP and GIF

I don't even bother with .BMP, TrekBoy - this site doesn't support them!

...

By the way, your avatar is cool, Ashur. How did you make it?

I made mine with Microsoft Paint and a program called GIF Movie Gear 4.0.

i 'stole' the background from a wallpaper, i think from deviant.art
i can't remember the font, but i did it with adobe photoshop (6.0 i think), the effect must have been very easy to use - i'm not very experienced with PS.

Heh...remembering back, I didn't even make my Romulan - Jigalypuff made it as a joke for me. He changed my avatar a few months ago to this:



I then created this:



And he subsequently changed it to this:



The writing is so small that it took me a few days to notice the difference. (Remember it was as an avatar so it was shrunk down to 150x91 pixels - not 591x339 pixels as it currently is)

Anyways, I took the Romulan and made my avatar. I also created this as a thankyou for him:

I loved that one at the bottom Matress

How's the folding going guys?

Yeah, it's a possibility, but like I said, i've sorted it.

At least we've all got the avatars we want now.

If the avatar was to get too big in the distant future, we can think of having a still one then - and even there's always the possibility of us all having stills instead of moving ones - that would greatly extend the number of people that can be added to the avatar.

But all that's in the distant future. My new filehost can hold files up to 3 times bigger than the avatar already is, so we won't have problems for quite a while.

...

I'm surprised that you haven't seen that picture before, TrekBoy - I thought I posted it before somewhere...?

I must've only sent it in the PM to Jig to say thanks...

...

Right then, update TrekBoy?

I'm on 186/250. Its taking forever!

Oh, and i've just found out that there are work units that are worth MORE than 600 points!

Just look at Protein numbers (The column furthest to the left in the link below) 2363, 2362, 2361, 2359, 2355, and 2352!



Tut i'm only getting 600 points for my current unit...

Now you know how I feel TrekBoy!

...

Billy, TrekBoy posted the link a page or two ago - but here it is:



...

Welcome to the group Ashur. I just wanted to check though - has something gone wrong with folding@home for you?

I've never seen a work unit that was only worth 3 points, and i've also noticed that I have mysteriously also gained 3 points from out of nowhere as well! (I had 4141 points as of 11 o'clcok this morning - I now have 4144 points... )

Did you enter the info right?

Make sure you have enetered Ashur_botf_ii in the name box on the first tab of the configuration settings, and put 46574 in the second.

If they're right...then...err...

hey moe can i ask you something it says that i have been doing WU for the apple team and pc magazine team as well as BOTF how the hell is that happening ????? i feel violated lol

nothing went wrong.

i have the graphical client running on 2 pcs now, the first unit will be done soon.

if you want space for your mighty avatar send it to me and i will host it for you.

Thanks Jig, but i've sorted it out for now.

My new webhoster can hold 1.5meg files, so that'll keep us going for quite a while.

Again, thanks for the offer - i'll take you up on it when the avatar does get too big for it's boots, but until that time comes, it's fine as it is.

Billy, I have no idea what is going on with your results - has anyone else borged your computer?

I've double checked my own stats, and it definitely says that i've completed a work unit today...strange...

I guess they've been having some problems or summat...

lol if its adding points what's the prob

We've made it into the 2,000's!

We're currently ranked 2986, and we have 50839 points. Team 2000 currently has 91660 points, so we've also gotten past the halfway mark!

Now then, WHO IS COOKIEE AND BOGSEAT?!!!

so about 2 weeks max to go?

Well based on the current points etc. and 2250 points per day, then:

91901 - 52549 = 39352

39352 / 2250 = 17 days - so just over two weeks.

Like Ringold said a few days ago, I'm also starting to be a bit doubtful about our ppd - i've been keeping score for the past week, and it's averaging out to more like 1630 ppd, not 2250 - even with HHornblower, Mortse, MStrobel, and Ashur joining the cause recently.

So based on that amount, it would be:

39352 / 1630 = 24 days.

So either way, give it 3 and-a-bit weeks and we'll definitely be on extremeoverclocking.com.

wow love the effort being put into this by you MOE lol i been a bad boy and had pc taken off me for 2 days so im not in it for that time who knew fireworks and a back garden didnt work lol

...Pretty much most people can make that connection Billy...

The main reason why i'm putting all this effort into folding@home is coz its being done to further medical research. The program could one find a cure for Cancer, or something monumental like that.

It could be you, your wife, your husband, kid, mother, father, whoever - that relies on the cure one day. The cure you could help to create.

Personally, I don't see why there isn't some law that says you must make sure that you run the program EVERY time you turn a computer on...

We're doing great guys - keep going and we'll be breaking records ASAP
