Folding Pie and Milestones!!

Did ya notice Mike sold most all his stuff but the points are creeping up.:toast:
Damn Bog did you buy that put it together nuclear reactor from Radio Shack? Man you putting up the points.:rockout:
Think Buck finally overloaded the Eastern Seaboard power grid his points are down a little or maybe Bogs are up:respect:

BUCK is using all the spare electricity in the Southeast:D

Actually I am still more/less out of work[11 months now....some temp work last 4 weeks] and will draw Social Security in Jan. My big time crunching days are over. I gave it everything I had for about 4 years:rockout: Almost 40 million BOINC and 7 million FAH.

I am running everything[except one] that I have 24/7. A mini-mac on wcg, an AMD 180 dual core with a 260/192, an E8400[4.0] with a 260/216 and an E8400[4.0] with three 9800GT cards and a dual quad 5320...all for TPU WCG/FAH.

It gives me an electric bill of $75-100 a month. I'll be COLD this winter without the farm:(
 
If I could find a way to package and ship excess heat, I'd help you out Mike. That is until Canada land ice cubes for the next 7 months. And then I'm keeping it to keep my CPUs from hitting cold bugs and not starting.
 
My room is always 10*F-15*F hotter than the other 2 rooms here (living room and mom's bedroom). The living room and mom's bedroom both have AC though... I don't... however, I have cool days with the window open
 
OMG, I can't wait until I can open the windows down here. I've got a nice little heat exhaust set-up here. It's gonna have to dip into the low 60's at night for me to do that. Too bad it still a couple of months away:cry:

Praying for a cool winter:rolleyes:

You forgot 2 more 8800 GT:rockout:
 
Tell you what Buck, for $4.50 a pound and the cost of shipping I'll crate up and ship you snow this winter. All items final sale, no refunds. I think I'll soon see enough stock to be able to supply the team, so I'm going to extend that offer to everyone.

Pie!

Yesterday, if you looked at the stats page, you'd notice that the top 10 minimum requirement was 25k. I think whoever mentioned that pretty soon due to all the upgrading, the top 10 will be scraping 30k as the requirement was absolutely correct. I love seeing how much we've brought to the table. We've come close to doubling our PPD before this challenge, though we'd need to hit 850k a day for that to be true. New personal challenge perhaps?

HWC has stopped their upward progress and actually came in 100k short of their prior day. One theory for that is that Deadthings, who was there only to fold 1 million for the HWC folding contest, has reached his threshold and hopefully went back to folding for his own team. He did see a drop in output on their team yesterday, so it could be. At the same time, we all boosted ourselves 50k yesterday back up to 700k, and I feel we've got a little more oomph to squeeze out yet. With Deadthings dropping in PPD for them and us pushing up, we should boost the gap from 3.9 weeks until overtake upwards. It should give us all enough time to complete our emergency rigs / recruit friends / what have you. Come on guys, lets stretch our legs and show these guys some more numbers. We aren't beaten yet no matter what they'd like to think.

Sorry hat, not sure how it was missed but it wasn't anywhere in the updates. Thanks though for the catch, and congrats on 250k.

Tonight we have Edilu (oh yea, I'm still going to call you that) crossing 50k tonight on his trek upwards. I was looking at your stats and noticed a significant increase in your output in September over your prior month, and September still isn't complete. I imagine quite a few people's stats page look similar. Thanks for your increased and continued effort. :toast:

Feel free to check my findings, I sometimes miss people

Heh, guess not. Well, competition is definitely increasing. Though looking at pie today, we see msgclb just snuck in today at 9th place. There are a few people not in the top 10 tonight who might be able to knock him out. So far, he's been our second most consistent name up here, with Bogmali leading him by just 1 MPA. It doesn't look too possible to dethrone Bogi as of yet though. Maybe one day.

I came home yesterday to no AC. It was 87 degrees in the house when I walked in the door. I'm amazed my gamer hadn't shut down from overtemp. I got it fixed but I'm keeping the gamer off until I know my AC is for sure fixed.

Sorry... low PPD for me over the next day or two.

My slice of pie is up for the taking!!
 
My internet went down last night. This morning all my folding clients were looking for a server and my bonic client was backed up with completed work. This won't effect the crunching but I have no idea how many folding jobs I lost.:banghead:
 
yuck... looks like two slices of pie might be up for grabs then.
 
Heh, figured there was something odd yesterday msg. Hopefully not a fuggered router or something. Anyways, good luck on getting it turned around.
 
Come on El Fiendo. Put these whiners in their place! (J/K)
 
Aight... I'm back up! I want mah pie tomorrow!!!1111!

Something odd it is. My cable modem was dropping off but I had cable tv. I watched it do this for about 3 hours and it must have been doing this for at least another 3 hours but it could have been up to 8 hours. It's back to normal now.

I did have a P45 Q6600 / (2) 8800GT cards down for a couple of days but it's back running. Damn, both of them loaded 1888 pt WUs with an ETA of 10 hours.
 
I never get 1888pt wu's... I either get the 353 or 787 pointers.

All four of my GPUs are folding 1888 wu's right now. The 1888 wu was great when it hot out, but now that it's cooler I sure could use some 353 or 787 lovin'.:(
 
500K soon :D

Out of all the equip I expected to fail due to heat, my WiFi adapter was the first to go. 2 days worth of WCG uploaded, and 2 days missed Folding due to no work avail... All back up now though!
 
Pie!

Heh, climbing on up. So mx500, I'm 10k behind and buying 2 rigs. Still confident about keeping third? :p

It's pretty cool to see how much the names have changed in the past few weeks. Shows how much you guys are dedicating to this. We've closed to 80k PPD difference between us and HWC, due to us gaining and them losing some ground. I know several folders have things planned and being added in. We'll see what the numbers say in a few weeks.

Msgclb seems to still be feeling the wake of the Ethernet issue he faced earlier this week as he squeaks in again tonight. Hope you get it all righted soon, I know that stuff drives me mad.

Oily bumps mx500 tonight and snags himself yet another MPA. Seems the days of 5 or 6 guys winning MPAs each night are getting tossed out, which is good because you guys were making it look easy. You won't get any of the crunch/fold babes (it could be possible) all interested if they think those MPAs are easy to get. I mean geeze it looks like I'm handing them out like candy.
 
A Quarter million. Woot!
 
Man Im happy with top 10!!! Take me down El Fiendo.4th 5th 6th I dont care long as im folding, but I do seem to remember you said the same thing to Boggy. Look at him now. Could history repeat??? Stay tuned.;)
 
Sweet jebus! I finally passed 90k!
 
Oh don't go getting all prophetic and uppity mx500. I could lick the lot of ya with both arms tied behind my back. Licking would do nothing to help the folding cause, but I could still do it! (Don't worry, I'll be 4th, 5th or 6th for about another week or two.)


ACD, you'll be breaking 100k soon enough, and also you'll be hitting the top 100 as well. Should be about a week or so for both. :toast:
