Broke into the top 1000
The RAM's on a ramble now!
I'll be in the Top 500 soon. Currently at 501. Oh, the agony!
At current speed I might be in the Top 100 in a year from now. Yay....
Got a tip for us?

You where right, big boost at friday! almost 75000 points for the team that day.mc68k said:when i plugged the machines back in they all got new work units (!) presumably the old WUs got trashed.
currently most of them are working on a protein in the 114x range -- which are 600 point WUs. so lets say half the lab is crunching these then:
600 (WU) * 15 (machines) * 2 (HT) = 18000
one of these days (prob friday) there will be a big spike again. most of the machines are 70+% done

BlackAdder produced 16000 points on thursday too, it looks like his/her production is increasing.

Are you talking about just the MacRumors team? I'm at the pont now that I can't brag.
My current rank is decreasing with time. Due to others purchasing newer Mac's.

Just MR. I'm in 80000th+ place or something in the global ranking... so it's not like I have much to brag about.
wdlove said:Are you talking about just the MacRumors team? I'm at the point now that I can't brag.
wdlove, I'm using my usual G4 and have since added my work G4 (along with a new DELL) and my ratings in the last month have now shot me up to #259 in the ranks. I can't keep up with the heavy hitters either but I just keep on lettin' my comps do the crunching.
Damage Control
Well, you can think of what you're doing now as damage control - keeping yourself from losing too much ground so that, when you do get that new computer down the road, you can rise that much quicker.
You can also choose new goals. Look for someone above you who seems to have stopped contributing (or at least slowed down) and make it your goal to pass him (even if both of you are losing rank in the mean time.)
You can always find some attainable goal.

Always do. Got into Top500, reached 5000 point mark, and now it's Top400 and 10000 points next. In about two months at the current rate... Hmm. Maybe I should put together that server I've been thinking about
Wow! The team is smoking right now! BlackAdder is at 10k per day, mgoodman is approaching 5k a day, and we've got the entirety of the top ten folders up over 1k a day!
Go team go!
Go team go!
Just got up to 2000 points at 21 wu's. Next target 5000 points which should put me in the top 500
Dreadnought said:Whoepie! We can already start to taunt them!
Heck, by my standards we should have started taunting them in January....
You where probably to busy taunting someone else...atszyman said:Heck, by my standards we should have started taunting them in January....
Okay folding pros, answer me this simple (I think) question:
If I close the terminal, halting the folds, when I relaunch the fah5 file and terminal window, does it automatically start where it left off? or is there something I am supposed to enter in the terminal to pause the process and save progress?
I just started folding again, so I really don't know what is going on Thanks.

Up to #83, should be passing arn sometime this week. By October I'll be at #51

probably your settings for folding are scr*w*d. Had the same, sometimes still have that problem. Type "crontab -l" and restart, this should make it all better! Alsways use the commands pause and resume if you are using mc68k's script.
Today is the first time I have seen my rank go DOWN using the f@h widget. Sad day. Its too bad for the person who passed me that my 600 point WU is about to go through
Dreadnought said:
I have not been using that script mostly because I failed to see the real advantage to it over starting fah5 everytime I load the computer. I was really just curious if I have to terminate terminal (to sleep, or need to do something like restart) would it save my work on exit and start where it left off, or does that protein get scrapped and I start anew upon relaunching fah5?
