Team CustomPC is just 4 months from passing Team Short-Media!

I noticed that the vast majority of Team 93 members appear to be offline. Where is everyone?? Let's show Team CustomPC that we mean business when in comes to researching for a cure and we won't stand by and let them take our place without a fight!

GO TEAM! GO!!! WOOOOOO!!!!

It's like a foreskin, except you can wave it around in public without being arrested. :vimp:

EMIII is a monitoring program for FAH. ;)

It's summertime, when heat is rising cooling starts to become an issue. So does the cost of electricity. If I have to start the AC in the house, folding rigs get shut down.

Some folks also run on school computers.. School's out for the summah...:bigggrin:

That case is never going to get here *grumblegumble*

BUT! My new CPU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103546) and extra gig of memory came in the mail today!

here's a banner I did in my free time at work, nothing real special, but I think it is kinda cool. I may do some more work to it in a while, I dont really like how the call to arms text looks, and I couldnt really find a place to put SM or something like that in it, but the layer is there. It is definately a little rough around the edges. I have to eat super and go to church for now, but will probably do it later tonight since i dont go to work until 1:30 now

I tried Electron Microscope and found it fascinating. I have 3 computers folding under by name but only 1 is local, so this program is overkill for me. But I greatly admire the people who take care of the farms because - let's face it - they are the lifeblood of SM Folding point production. I designed a new Rally skin and I hope the SM farmers like it. Below is what it looks like:

//Edit. I edited the skin so that lightning progress bars should be visible without having to edit the skin.ini

Did a little more work on it, I think it is looking much better, same background, just tweaked the text a little. I think this is pretty close to done, I have ran out of ideas, and its not a bad looking banner in my opinion.

Well, I put it as my folding sig, but it seems it doesnt like my text formatting, I had it all as a dark red, but it seems to be over-riding it.:werr:

Edit:
Anyone that would like the psd for my banner here it is (http://ibbabl.com/images/banner.psd), feel free to modify it, I like colaboration.

Also,
I just remembered that you will need the fonts,
I used the 007GoldenEye, (http://ibbabl.com/fonts/007%20GoldenEye.ttf) and Fight This (http://ibbabl.com/fonts/FIGHTT3_.ttf), the fonts are all 'free', from dafont, so no wories.

Great stuff guys!

About the skin, is anyone having trouble with it? I reinstalled it just to see if the skin.ini took ok. The lightning "framesProgress" graphic dissapeared and I had to redirect it manually.

I have free time so I'm developing a more personalized Cheerleading animated gif. Hopefully, I'll have it done before the end of the day.

6 Aug 2006, 6:37pm
Yes, you can add the image manually. Press the Microscope icon on the upper left, this will open "Options". Select the Box and then press "Frame Progressbar Options" Check "Background" and select the lightning image, if you can't see it, press that little computer icon to the right and navigate to where you installed the skin and select the graphic "sm_frameprogresspic.bmp". Press Apply and do the same for "Frames Progressbar Options", except this time choose "sm_frameprogresspic2.bmp" as your background image.

I do enjoy reading short media its a great forum - hopefully when GPU folding comes in my ATI (its ATI only) cards will pick me up. Also going to get a Playstation 3 farm going too.
