Reason For Production Slump

Well looking across the board at all the teams it looks like everyone has had a drop in production like the past 2 days. When I got back from the LAN I noticed I had several 235 and 236 point Work units on my computers. I think I have 4 going atm. So watch out for another spike in production similarily like what happened when the 160 pointers came out. A drop and then a spike.
Just a heads up in case some people were wondering whats up.

Not only that, but most of the admins who are monitoring the increased points and how the stats are sent from the WU acceptance servers to the stats server work on Monday through Friday, and some of those point differences from old points to new points are getting done Monday through Friday only. So, would expect a surge on Monday and\or Tuesday just from THAT fixing things like earned points over weekend by user ID by hand.

Anyone know why?
Sorry I haven't posted before now.
I know the dropoff was sort of sudden, but I didn't have a choice.
We are going through a monster IT audit here at work by our parent company due to, well, my boss allowed hackers into the corporate network via a backdoor trojan. Anyways, I had to remove F@H from all of the computers until I can discuss it with the IT auditors. My home computer is out of commission right now, so I don't have any computers folding (except for some computers here at work that I can't find to uninstall F@H).
Hopefully I can convince the auditors that it poses no security risks, and get it back onto some computers.
And good luck with those auditors.
Bosses are trained by life and education to make max money out of minimal expense. They are trained to look at direct and immediate and TANGIBLE benefits, not indirect ones, mostly. Until they can be trained to realize that TANSTAFL and "THINK FIRST" MUST be applied massively in considering IT things, we will have them clicking away and trying to find special deals. Some of those false deals will burn them big-time.
Looks like all is back up now though.

Bummer.
First of all, t1, seriously hope it all works out for you and you can get back to the production figures we all admire.
Sunday late afternoon, i thought it would be a good idea to daisy-chain the 2 KVM boxes onto Sally's screen, K/board and mouse. Very gently moved all the puters out of there place of abode to re-arrange all the network cabling etc. Put all the puters back to how i had it planned, startted them 1 at the time, only to find 3 decided to go on strike.
As some of you may have seen by Sally's postings for assistance, things are still not well. I believe it will stay that way till i get home unless Sally gets enough rest to have another go.
Once home, i'll be replacing 3 standard intel heatsinks and fans off the CPU's with Aerocool HT101's. More downtime. Should the cheapish mobo's prove to have been part of the problem, finances allowing, might be replacing some of them too.
Checked folding@home, which shows 11 proc's working. What The? Should be 8 as we are down 1x P4 2.8 HT. Must be caused by the problems of reformat etc.
Sure hope EVERYONE gets back to normal. :smokin:
I had to lock down our routers so that only our AD domain controller can resolve DNS for external addresses, and now all computers must go through the proxy for internet access. :banghead:
Keep you guys posted.
