OMG that sounds soo cool! lol The most snow i've ever seen was about 10 years ago when we had about a foot of it, and that only lasted a few days.

Uk's pretty boring for weather. Which part of canada is that anyways? I'll have to remeber to not visit this time of year for future holidays! lol

Daily Tech, lol, I've been caught!

I do that over there just to keep on my toes. Well.. that, and guilty pleasure at seeing some people squirm when their ideas get a little challenged. Small interweb, didn't think I'd get noticed by someone at both sites. I've actually used several discussions over there in my economics courses.. easy points.

I didn't know it got quite that hot up there though! That's chaotic; frigid winters, sweltering summers.. and mosquitos to boot. I'd of figured being buried under mountains of snow would kill the mosquitos during the winter, where ever it is they hide, but guess not. But I have heard about the nice scenery..

Another year and half and I'll be moving to just south of Indianapolis, Indiana, so I'll be in some of the same weather as you. Like I said, never really dealt with any of that first hand, and I call it freezing at 50ºF, so, I'm in for some fun I think.

Edit:

Our team is slowly inching forward; the closer we get to 1000, the slower it gets. It looks like it might take a few months to get the last 100 or so spots up.. but I'm hoping a better SMP client gets released in the next week or so. It boosts my points hugely *when it works*, so it'd get us up there faster. That'll be a nice psychological milestone..


Our active member count has crept downward:

But our daily points has edged up:
http://kakaostats.com/tp.php?t=46574

That's been possible because I've been getting fed a steady stream of 574-point WU's my computers can chew through.. No idea if that'll last or not, but again, hope to get a better SMP client soon.

Well I'm working all that I can. Was wondering if it might be advisable to say drop a few of the low pointers as they are not really helping us anyway. Just get them off the Team list.

I haven't folded in ages. I should really start again. But now I'm definitely waiting for the new ATI Radeon HD 2900 cards to ship. I'll be moving out west to Alberta and will actually start making money, so I should be able to pick up 2 of these monster cards with more than twice the processing power as the GeForce 8800GTX. I'll still wait for the benchmarks to say for sure which card actually performs better, but it seems like AMD/ATI will take this by storm.

@ Ringold: you know this program inside and out. The last unit I folded isnt sending back. Heres the latest coment in my log.


[17:45:17] + Attempting to send results
[17:45:19] Error: Got status code 503 from server
[17:45:19] + Could not connect to Work Server (results)
[17:45:19] (171.65.103.106:8080)
[17:45:19] - Error: Could not transmit unit 05 (completed April 17) to work server

Wondered if you knew what this was?! I havent changed any settings recently. So I can only assume its temporary.

MoE has it covered. They've been having server issues lately.. they've got all kinds of projects going on, both public and private ones, so they'll happen on occasion. I usually ignore it unless it persists much longer than overnight.


MoE: Every borg counts. At my last job, I more or less had it down how to run F@H off a USB stick, but had to use low-point timeless WU 'cause I didnt have total access to the machine long enough to get them done on time. :\

Borg on.

I completed my unit.

I checked the log file and it DID have trouble sending though - it took 9 attempts before it got through. The server in question this time was 171.65.103.160 - I almost thought it was the same one as Stumpy's until I read it more carefully.

I'm now folding p3038, a 5000 frame WU worth 186 points. 882 frames done and averaging 29s/frame at the moment, so it should be done in 1 day 8 hours and 42 minutes.

Where are big WU's?!

Oh well, we're doing science, even if it means little reward for doing so.

Edit: I checked the F@H forums, and this is a known problem. Admins are hoping for an improvement within 24 hours.

Sometimes it helps my console clients to have the service stopped and restarted. I don't know if they're coded to have a lower priority once they're told to back-off and try again later compared to a first attempt or what, it occasionally it helps. YMMV

Still no word from Ringold and we've dropped 13 places now...Ringold where are you?!

Stumpy and Raven seems to have easily replaced half my production (and both are set to move up in the ranks), but Raven seems to of had a short burst of activity and then stopped again. On a weekly basis, Raven I think outproduces me; just a few days like a couple days ago, and Raven would be advancing up the ranks. Two weeks of solid production and he'd slash-and-burn his way to 3rd (sorry Moe!), and a few more weeks would put him in 2nd. From there, 8 weeks after taking 2nd he'd dethrone me as the master of the BOTF folding universe, but... I wouldn't go quietly in to the night.

ya, I play WoW on the weekends, and I sometimes forget to turn the clients back on after I finish that. Trying to get people folding again by example though. Running both GPU and CPU full blast, I can usually complete 2 or 3 WUs every 24 hours (1 on the CPU and 1 or 2 on the GPU).

Come on people. If everyone on the team was folding we'd be a force to be reckoned with

I'm doing the best I can. Already fold 24/7 so theres not much more I can do now. Might pay a visit to my mate who has a ps3 in a few weeks and see whats happening.

Oh I tried folding on a usb stick but it didnt work as i kept getting problems with the units.

I'm still folding as much as I can. I've got my computer in work folding as well, although I'll be moving departments in a week or two and I WON'T have my own computer to fold on then.

Stumpy, your bud's PS3 is doing something, because you've been getting a ton of points. Encourage him to keep them coming

I was doing two console clients off a USB stick when I worked at a little shipping place and they had a ridiculously overpowered computer for photoshop; just couldn't have it install itself as a service, and had to start them from links (or a command line) with the -local flag, just like with two clients on a dual-core or SMP machine. Of course, don't even have to do that if it's a single-core machine. I hadn't figured out a way to minimize it to tray without installing extra software and thereby keep it under the radar, though, so it ran in it's little DOS window.
