Exclamation Throwing out the challenge!

Ever since MacOS blew by us and forcing us out of the Top 10, I've had a bad taste in my mouth and you know what? I realize it's time to take back our rightful place and then some.

We've been drifting about for far too long now, it's time to take back our rightful place and then some.

We need to try and recruit new members, it's time to take back our rightful place and then some.

We need to welcome our newest members and let them know we appreciate them taking the time and effort to Fold with us, it's time to take back our rightful place and then some.

We all need to come together to support a gallant project and to take back our rightful place and then some.

And most of all, we need to have fun doing it and believe me, it's a fine feeling to be knocking Teams out of the way. I hope it hasn't been so long that we've forgot how to do that.

If each of us can can at least convince one person to join, we're one person closer to kicking the Macintosh? Granny Smith? Gala? Or whatever kind of apple they are back where they belong, behind us eating our dust.

What do guys say? MacOS is 35,000 points/day ahead of us but we can close that gap and we better because p2p is coming up fast.

Re: Thowing out the challenge!

I'm giving all she's got, captain! I've installed F@H on every decent machine in my office. We just got a couple of PIII 1GHz machines, so I'll be adding those to the mix. We should have about 8GHz folding at my office soon.

I've added a 3.4 Gig P4 and a 3.2 Gig Athlon 64 in the last month that's more than we can afford but darn it I just need to fold, fold, fold.
Perhaps I can get some people at work interested too.

I'm not sure if we can change Stanford's program to add an easy installer, but I just pirated prime's quick-and-dirty guide and posted it as a thread.

In about 3 weeks I'll have a dual xeon with HT (4 consoles running).
While I'm thinking about it, is 2gb of ram enough to run 4 large WU's?

Nuts! If anyone can figure out this blasted sending problem, I'd have an HT 3.1whateverit'sabletoholdnow going. And I'll get the 2.4 (single) up again. I may be able to convince my brother on his @3.2 HT. Maybe his friend...

All it takes is one (by one I mean three or four 500 pointers) WU sent...

Re: Thowing out the challenge!

Good job guys. Glad to see this happening. I'll see about getting my bro-in-law and my sister to fold. My production has been horrible ever since I left college and I have a small rig (Lazarus, whom was brought back from the dead) just sitting in my room not being used. I'll see about moving him to my sister's house and I'll talk to her about getting folding set up on the computers they have.

I'm inspired, how 'bout you?

Re: Thowing out the challenge!

As far as the one-click installer, no. An exe with a window, enter user ID and a few other options, maybe yes if the license allows. Someone got into some crap because he made a .msi file and it got out of his hands. People came to stanford wondering whe this process was taking all of its CPU when they didnt install it. Account removed of ALL of its points, member in dead shyt with Stanford.

So if the license allows maybe a GUI where they can enter a few options or some pop-ups but NOT a one-click installer.

And some of this lack of interest is my fault. I have not been very active at all. Full-time school and full-time employment really got to me. I am back to full time and all this talk has lit a fire under my ass!

Re: Thowing out the challenge!

OK this is just sick. See this pic. Who can tell me what the heck is wrong with it???


All the milestones are high numbers. Very few low milestones IE 1k, 5k 10k and such. In the next month, I want that 1k, 5k and 10k, list to be as long as the entire list is now. It would be even better if those milestones took up 2/3 of the list or greater.

Thats the goal! Now lest get to it.

I suppose I'll make the switch from E@H to F@H once again... but I'll sure miss being on top of the team

Just wish there was an eaqsy guide to know what tags we should have setup for each CPU, like in a spreadsheet style setup.
THIS CONFIG SHOULD USE THESE TAGS...
etc...
etc...
etc...

Not some crazy ass explaination I wouldn't understand unless I studied how this program worked.

Also... I'd like to make fun of the typo no one else has appearently seen. Unfortunatly, I cannot think of anything at this time but perhaps something about "thowing" or "thawing" out the challenge?

I'm getting better at PS, maybe I'll have a go at it.

GEEZ RWB, I totally overlooked that.
Oh and thanks for giving us a hand.

We'll also see what we can do about those tags but personally, i haven't used any since we started using version 5.xx.

There are none. Just host it and stick it as a custom URL in the generator. I just added that one as an "official" option on the generator. If you want to make one and submit it to be added officially to the generator too, the height is usually 32, 64, or 128 pixels and the width is usually 400 pixels. Generally they're made so the text is centered near the bottom or right aligned and vert centered since the generator isn't that flexible... yet.

Hey, with folding Team Short-Media, there will always be someone to reach or outproduce. There is always a goal.

And as far as the tags/switchs, I am going to work on that.
