It's a great week for Folding! (post your bragging here)

LOL!!! :D aren't they 400 steps...? And only 241 points each? Wel, after I'm overtaken, I'll be soon in the top 40, gonna overtake two in the week after!! :D

Nope 1140, 41, 44, 49, and 50 are all 600 points at 100 steps. Very time consuming though. (I also don't recommend crashing your computer repeatedly while doing hardware debug but that's why they pay me, the debugging and not the crashing that is).

Oh well, I'll get to you eventually, I'm just slightly delayed.
 
Yesterday (EOC time) 4 of my workhorses returned a WU and earned me 1,928 points!
This burst put me past the 40,000 points milestone and at only 9 places from invading the top 100.

Just patting myself on the back,
now i really must continue work on the widget. Still bussy at work though and this weekend is swamping me... i'll try to find a window though.

But still HAHA, look at me fold!
 
I've got my 2 PC's at work folding under the MrCommunistGen name... a 2.2Ghz P4 and an AthlonXP1700... My iMac is folding under a different name... iMac400 its pretty pathetic... on the p1108 tinker it's taking ~3hrs per frame. The Windows PC's average around 1-2 days per WU.

MrCommunistGen is ranked 369, and moving up, with 7884 points and 118 WU

iMac400 is ranked 1196 with 210 points and 6 WU (mind you its off during the day)

I'm guessing that I average 15-20 pts a day... only generating pts every other day or so... I do what I can... I remember getting a ton of points for a WU that had 7500 steps once...

Day 36 as a Hostage

Whelp - I'm on Day 36 with CompUSA still keeping my main workdog from folding, and now one of my work Wintel machines has passed it up! I'm so embarassed.

Supposedly my new midplane was to be delivered yesterday or today. Then again, I was told that a couple of weeks ago. :)

In any case, he's got some catching up to do. Can't let a Gateway get on top of him.
 
Well I was out of town this weekend. and something happened to my power at home.. My breaker switched when I was gone, and 3 of my Folders were down!!

Since I only fold at work, when I am at work, they also have not been putting in any points. I have 3 days with 0 next to them :(. I won't be catching Dreadnought for a few years though :)

No longer in the top 20, and appear to have mostly stopped.. Everything ok?

Well, school's out for the summer so the 40 Powrmacs that give me such high numbers aren't on as often.

ahh cool!

Well I am glad to see you are still around :)

Yeah. I still run F@H on my eMac here and if I can ever get the old PC a working wireless connection (Picks up a "low" signal but doesn't get on the net...Goddamn Windows, Die.) I'll be running F@H on it too (1.1Ghz Celly, but you know, better than nuttin')

If you aren't using it...throw linux on it. I bet that fixes your wifi issues.

HAHAHAAHAHA :D I have everything to do with that! ;)
 
Well I just completed my first 2 WUs on my sawtooth and ibook 2 days ago. I will add my bros PB 1.67Ghz and my old PIII 500Mhz to the lineup soon. I feel pathetic now, I see people running more then 10 machines and I only run 4, 2 of which are almost prehistoric, but you will see, I will fold non-stop for a few decades and I will be the folding master, you will all bow down and beg for my mercy MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA :eek: (sorry, forgot my medication).

Now for real, I have the graphical clients for mac OSX but it doesnt show frames, just %, how can I see frames?

hey i only use one computer! :)
 
I haaate Gromac WUs.

My folding machine can pump out a p1148 (241pt) Tinker in 26 hours; the same time it takes to finish a 136pt p876.

Humbug!
 
5000!

Woohoo! Finally hit 5000 (on the dot, no less!).

Lessee if I can figure out how to do a pic.



Obviously not - but that's OK - you all trust me. ;)

[Edit - Oh, it shows itself when you attach. Preview didn't show that. Cool!]

You're looking at the rankings that include agregate teams. These are Google and Everything w/o a team #(or a bad team #). in the "normal" team rankings we're still #22 (at least for another 120 days)

And that's if you organize by points! On the EOC stats page if you go by WU's we jump all the way up to 17th...
 
Nope, not according to the foldingwidget from redeye and the stats of extreme overtaking! So according to me you are still #39 and I'm still 72 points ahead of you!! Also, just finished a 241 pointer, maybe that's why I'm still # 38! :D

You finally set the G5's to run at highest speed did you? (and added about ten computers...)

edit: according to Stanford, you are still 9 points behind... and 50 steps to go before getting another 241 points! :D

Damn! I had you, for maybe a couple of hours! :) I did add a couple of more computers, but they're off line for the moment, so it's just 1 work computer and 2 home computers at the moment. Actually, all I really care about is being out of the 40s - I was stuck there for months. It was starting to drive me crazy. Back when I first started, I remember moving up 10 spots or more in a day, but not any more.

Now the goal is 100,000 points, which we both should get within a week or so.
