Who wants SM20?

[mmonnin]

Sorry for the delay. Been busy and got off track.

As always here are the rules for hosting a SMx rig.

1) Team member must be in good standing and have shown dedication to Team Short-Media, former Team Icrontic, and the Folding@Home project for the long haul. Past participation and contributions are taken into account. Please remember this now also includes keeping at least one machine other than the SMx rig folding for Team 93. You must be an active member to participate and continue participating.

2) The member must be able to provide SM20 with a safe and secure environment for an extended period of time - this means an indeterminate period.

3) You must be knowledgeable in building computers and loading operating systems, and all that is entailed. You are at Short-Media.com, there is a wealth of knowledge, use it. In the event the rig should fail, the host is expected to make a good effort in trying to repair the rig and report to the team what is going on.

4) Dedicated, "always-on" Internet connection 24/7, 56K and up, and a free port on an existing network (we don't normally supply routers/hubs/switches with the SMx rig). If the internet connection should fail, the host is expected to make good faith efforts to get back online as soon as is possible.

5) The computer must run and as a result, "Fold" 24/7. (Yes, the Team is generous enough to allow you to go on vacation and turn it off.) Keep in mind that 24-hour operating will increase your electricity bill by up to a few dollars per month. The Team expects the host to make good faith efforts to keep the rig running as much as is possible.

6) The computer shall fold for Team #93, under the user name of "SMx" exclusively unless it has been voted on to make it differently. The team can/will monitor the rigs output by way of statistics provided by Stanford, Statsman and the like.

7) In the event the host can no longer host the SMx rig or he/she is not able to run the rig for an extended period of time due to things like being called to duty in the armed forces for example, it is to be found a new host by normal host selection process.

8) What does the host get out of this? The pride of being able to host a SMx Folding rig, one of very few to earn this privilege. To be able to help Team Short-Media be the best team and the F@H project find cures.

Disclaimer;
- All Team-donated parts that go into a SMx donated Folding@Home computer are property of the Short-Media.com Folding@Home Team.
- Short-Media.com, and/or its owner(s), and/or administrator(s), and/or moderator(s), and/or member(s), shall not be held responsible or liable for any losses incurred either directly, or indirectly as a result of hosting any SMx rig. The host selected shall bear full responsibility for said rig. By applying to be selected as a host, you acknowledge you understand, agree with, and will abide by these rules as set forth here and as may be amended in the future as required.
-Hosts must provide contact information such as phone number and address in case an emergency contact needs to be made.

NOTE; This entire project and the rules set forth above is/are based on TRUST. We, the team, trust that you, the host, will do all you can to keep the rig folding as much as is possible, in its name, for the Short-Media.com Folding Team. You, the host, trust, that we, Team Short-Media, support you in every way we can.

So anyone that can meet the requirements posted above and would like to host such a machine, please enter your name in the 'hat' and a host will be picked in a week depending on the number of entries.

Any other useful info like internet connection, hosting facilities, and experience would help the committee greatly in choosing a host for SM20.

The time has some to add your name in the hat.:)

[gtghm]

I'm in...

:)

[Lincoln]

Amended condition one with the update.

[GnomeWizardd]

Ill do it

If its possible could it fold under angel_heather in honor of Mtgoats Daughter?? if not its cool Ill still do it

[GnomeWizardd]

BTw i gots a 24/7 56k account and more then enuf room for it since i sold one of the other systems I have a spot next to my main rig to keep my eye on it

[mmonnin]

Username has to be unique so we can keep track of it.

[muddocktor]

I see no problems with naming it "SM20_angel_heather", just like we named SM13 as IC13_Bart_Williams for good old Bart. As a matter of fact, I think that this would be a great idea, to name this rig in memory of Mtgoat's daughter.

[Lincoln]

Agreed

[QCH]

SM19 thinks that it would be a good idea to honor the passing of Mtgoat's Daughter. Shall we set up a poll to allow the SM members an opportunity to support this honorable endeavor? I think it would pass with resounding success.

[Kwitko]

No need to vote. SM20_Angel_Heather is perfect!

[QCH]

The SMx Committee has full rights to naming the rigs but... I thought that a show of support from the masses would also give an extra boost to the members. Give the sense that we, the members, want to honor Heather. The staff suggests it and the members support and encourage it.

[Leonardo]

As always, I've got case fans of all sizes if needed for SM-20. Have an old CD-ROM and FDD too.

[keto]

I really don't think any extra work is required, such as setting up a poll. Can you imagine the feedback (F L A M I N G) to anyone who objected to that naming? It still uniquely identifies SM20 and at the same time honours the passing of a loved one of a valued contributing member. And, as noted, there is a precedent.

"Just do it." -- Nike marketing campaign, circa ~1990

[GnomeWizardd]

If it ends up that The folks decide that I would be a good host I will be upgrading my 2500+ barton to a 3200+ in the not to far future so the box will be upgraded as I upgrade mine Oh and the sm-20 box is the one that should be named after Heather not 19 since 19 is in production already and I have enuf fans and cpu coolers to make my own wind tunnel! /me ponders the thought of His own wind tunnel!!!

[SimGuy]

Leo, SM-20 will need 2x 80mm fans. Unfortunately, I only had 1 blowhole in the case and never got around to installing front intake & rear exhaust fans.

I'll bid for this one, seeing that forum staff members can finally get in on the SM action. I've got lots of plugs in the wall, a 24/7 cable internet connection and plenty of network connections left on my switch. I've been folding for a little over a year, with a 4 month hiatus during the summer. It would be an honor to host an SMx machine :)

You saying you need modding ??? WH00T!!! ill do it!!!! I got enough power tools to open up my own home depot! Actually i might put an App in at HD for a night job just to keep me busy so i can get my apartment and have like a real folding room with like 10 comps!

[mmonnin]

So far the list is:

gtghm
Gnomewizardd
SimGuy

[GnomeWizardd]

Can i put my name in twice?

[Jonsey]

Again, I've not yet contributed parts to the cause, but I've got a wonderfully free college dorm room that'd love to host it.

Rochester has cold winters, I don't pay utilities, and how's 5mbps down & 528kbps upstream to the far coast sound for a 'net connection? :D

So, I'm in, if you'll let me be : )

[muddocktor]

OK, the list now stands with:

gtghm
Gnomewizardd
SimGuy
Jonesy

[Buddy J]

I don't wanna seem like an ass, but anyways...

Jonesy, can you provide a connection for it when you aren't in the dorm or are you in the dorm year round?

[mmonnin]

Very good question.

SM20_Angel_Heather sounds good.

[Jonsey]

BJ: (yes, that's an evil way to cover his name)

I can cover the connection at home (both cable & DSL, don't ask :p), though I could leave it in a friends on-campus appartment year round too : p

I'd rather take it home though, I'd worry about leaving it out of physical reach.

[seversphere]

Jonsey had this to say
though I could leave it in a friends on-campus appartment year round too

that's not an option really.

[Jonsey]

He's been folding for SM for a while, and I have the ability to track him down constantly.

But, as I said above, I was and would still plan on bringing it home with me, still with nice 24/7 'net.

[GnomeWizardd]

It would stay in my roon right next to my main pc and Would be upgraded like it was one of my own children! Only time it wouldnt be folding is when i move to my apartment next feb but it would be first thing to set up!

[GnomeWizardd]

/me waits to see If i need to go buy a new montior for myself! so i can move the old one to SM20_Angel_ Heather If i am chosen

[muddocktor]

Gnomewizardd, if you would be chosen, it would be cheaper to just buy a 2 port kvm switch to monitor it. Newegg sells a Linkskey(I think) 2 port switch with cables for around $50. If you really want to go cheap, then go headless and monitor the machine with VNC, which is free.;)

[mmonnin]

I use VNC. www.realvnc.com is a pretty good one.

Then you can monitor it with EM3 to make sure its running.

[GnomeWizardd]

I can get 17 in monitors at the flea market that are guaranteed to work for 2 days for 20 bux But i am thinking Flat panel to replace my crt. Not as efficiant for gaming but alot easier to pack for the lan!

[Buddy J]

Garg and I networked our appartment and we check IC11 by sharing it's folding folder on the network. All we do is check the timestamp on the last completed frame. It's easy and free (after the cost of all the hubs, Cat5 and my Linksys router)

BTW, I'm glad to hear that you already had that covered Jonsey. Kudos for thinking ahead.

[mmonnin]

Hey people look here.;)

[GnomeWizardd]

/me looks but dont see anything

[kanezfan]

listen, i'm not on the team here or anything, but I can attest for gnome's dedication. he's a super nice guy, and he will have that computer folding for you guys 24/7.

[GnomeWizardd]

/me crys!!!

That was totaly not expected man! but thx!


I mean I have to be a nice guy! look at all teh Chixors i get! LOL

[Straight_Man]

Gnome, Newegg also sells IOGear KVMs. I have one coming, a 4 port with 4 sets of 6' cables for $70.00 including shipping (sorry, they said, number of ports come in EVEN numbers or doubling multipliers (2,4,8,16), no 3 port KVMs which was what I needed). Will let you know if it works well or not. Belkin has USB 2 port KVMs also, and those can be gotten at NewEgg last I looked.

I can say he is competent with computers also-- he does, among other things, forum theming and that takes some coding skill. And anyone who can do carpentry can build a rack if needed to get boxes in as small a tall space as needed. I would say he is a good candidate, and of the bunch SimGuy is also good-- yes, I know we are not voting for who right now, but both those folks have impressed me with computer knowledge and skills. I am not perhaps the "old man" here, just an "older fart." That is a SOFT poke :D at Prime, not anyone else, and an inside joke that reminds me of a skit idea from WAY back (about 1.3 or 1.4 decades back) when that was admirably executed (should I go further, Prime??? :) )

You know, Freud would say that most women being narcissistic individuals are breaking away from their repressed role in society by being the opposite of their repression. That is to say, instead of being more proper as society does expect (Despite feminism and women's lib, or whatever the hell you wish to call it), they swing to the exact opposite and tend to pursue males merely in an attempt to satisfy their narcissistic streak, not for real love or for a relationship. "Look at me. I'm a real <b>woman</b>. I've broken away from the oppression." When in reality, they're doing nothing but admitting to the harshness of their reality, and acknowledging its presence. They consign themselves to a life of control that isn't theres. They're under someone ELSE'S control.

Males do the same thing in a different manner by aggressively, and overly so, pursuing females with the machismo complex. "Look at me, I'm a <b>man</b>. Women are just bitches and hoes anyways..." Narcissistic males become over-male, aggressive, domineering, etcetera. They essentially overcompensate, and they overcompensate for a tragic lacking in their "Manhood."

:rolleyes: :p
/me covers his ass by including the male side of the spectrum...Then walks off whistling.

[primesuspect]

Uhhhhh, right, Thrax... So... are you throwing your name in the hat for SM20?

[Thrax]

Nope. ;)
