    I'm not the only one that has you in the sights. JonsHandBrake, Enisada, and witenoiz are all forming a train chugging their way to the top ten. You still have a heckuva lead to overcome though. ;)

    I want to hold spot 42 for evah, because 42 is just such a cool number. Looks like I'll have it too in 9 days.

    Well here I am in the Perth Office (Hey DragonV8 :wave: - can you do something about the weather!!?)

    I'm folding on the machines here in the Western State (just a few) so I'll add some more grunt to my effort after these couple of days

    I hate when I lose boxes.
    What is really bad is when production slips and you start checking things that have been cranking out points and find problems and out of date work units and you know it's your own fault. I might be getting two boxes back in action that a reliable friend has had big problems with. I got all his parasites and viruses cleaned up and set them as a service (never done that before - seems slower) Now if I can get him to keep them turned on and off the porno sites - I might get back in the top 6 or 7 in production.

    The following people are in trouble.
    WuGgaRoO - 6 days
    TylerDurden - 18 days
    Park_7677 - 35 days
    hypermood - 32 days

    I promise to be gentle. Ok, well not really. It's gonna sting, just a little bit. :D

    Vicodin, I have you firmly in my crosshairs. You've held the #7 spot for quite some time but unless you increase production, you're going down like the Titanic. You're up 75k right now so you have plenty of time.

    Eventually, not gonna predict when exactly, the Linux folding box's points will catch up with Thrax. I'll settle for being in the top 100. And Thrax and a couple others, last I looked, were in the way.

    I'm into FOLDING for the LONG term-- and long-term Jihad's seem appropriate. As and WHEN I break BACK into the top 100, might enable a sig again to show folding for team 93. But the Linux box IS folding for team 93 again. Right now, cannot afford a farm, so am keeping my goals reasonable for one 3.2 GHz P4 box running Linux to achieve.

    Here is why I say LONG term.... :) PER EOC, first WU this time around got credited Oct 15. My stats study thing is finished, mostly.

    98 Thrax 03.03.05, 3pm / 124 Days
    99 Jonsey(icrontic) 12.08.04, 3am / 38 Days
    100 Sputnik 12.09.04, 3am / 39 Days

    I'm declaring jihad on Eyes and Bothered. Out producing me you say? Local thunderstorms and a technical difficulty with my main folding rig have conspired against me to slow my production temporarily. I should be hitting my stride again soon.

    Good, and to quote you further (from a while back):

    "Don't tell me I am going to have to start folding again."

    By end of day, I will be at only 1002 WUs complete for this ID FOR THIS TEAM ALONE (folding ID jdii1215)-- another 316 points. Happy to see your boxes folding away again at full steam. That will help the TEAM. Cool. EOC does not know what to do with a box that takes 46-47 hours to fold a p1310, stats hop up and down while the box folds. I suppose the XP box could fold for a short while, though, now that the Abit NB fan that bit the dust as to bearings (and resulted in my pulling the HS also as the only fans I have are too big for that HS) has been replaced with a Tt Blue Orb fan and HS. That should eat up the 20-30 point edge keeping me out of your threat list long-term for a while--- HMMMM, I'll THINK about it after the new NB fan and HS leave the XP box stable for a week or so....


    Lessee, the Linux box does about 158 a day average, overall (look at average after Midnight, when the last 47 hours of folding work show for the Linux box).... Add a 3 GHz prescott, maybe take average to 260-280 a day??? MAYBE SO, but we will see how long it takes me to build two accounting system sets (one personal, Quicken Premier 2004 which I got a decent deal on and one for business, Peachtree Accountign Complete as I now need an Inventory Tracking structure for business) up completely first-- now that what I CAN do with around-the-house-hurricane-cleanup has BEEN done mostly(and that Cleanup Work took an average of two-three hours a day about 5 days out of 7 for every day since August 15 when we came back to see what was left after Charley here-- the sprinkler system went back to normal a week ago), and most of the rest arranged for....

    lol! You do have a tendency to get those high dollar WU's that seem to elude me.

    Never the less... current trends indicate that sooner or later you WILL join the ranks of those who bask in my reflected glory!!!

    Hey Bothered... now would be a good time for you to make a move to widen the ever shrinking gap. I have no WU's that are more that 45% complete as of this posting.

    If not, Avast!!! and prepare to be boarded!!!!

    Grr I forget that guys actual real username (Alexander_Vandenberg). Used to be more active.

    My name is Alex. Though I hardly monitor my computer and thus my rankings have dropped off dramatically. Time to check on all my lab computers that were folding for me. Got a new computer today at work in my office that's up and running. Now if I only could use my recent lab computer, but it has no internet connection. It's a P4EE chip with a huge raid array.

    I used to have 8+ CPUs going now it only shows 4 so that definately means I need to check up on things. Hopefully I'll get back up in the teens again.

    Nice to hear from you, zelig2 - you might want to browse through the Notable Milestones section.

    You've got about every prize we give out. :thumbsup:

    Lots and lots of green in my future (scthoburn). I left edcentric's name on there just so you'd know I have a little humility left. :D

    If my daily average was a measly six points higher I'd be on the Top 20 Producer list... :bawling:
