Hey everyone, I've been running the console version of Folding@Home on my linux box for about a month now and although I have never posted much here I remember you guys had a team so I thought I'd join in.
Occupation Horticulturist at merrist wood college
Lv 2 Horticulture course
I enjoy playing computer games and building computers. I have many family members in Texas and Kansas. I am a christian since summer 2006 when i went to see them and got baptised and saved very exciting!
Name: Jordan Rivest
Age: 24
Occupation: Supv in a call center for a small cellular company (going on 4.5 yrs). Which handles calls for two other companys (which compeate against each other - go figure). One of the companys I do work for is a Wimax ISP. Fairly intresting.
Location: Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada - aka the frozen north & in the middle of butt**** nowhere
Interests: Hockey, Hockey, and more hockey. I can't play it (knee injury), but I'm a great arm-chair GM (arn't we all?), and love to watch it. My favorite player is Sidney Crosby, and I watch many of their games. I guess I could say I'm a hockey nut. Along with that, I enjoy spending time gaming. When I had internet at home it was CS. Now it's one of several games (GTA San Andreas, NFS Carbon, EMH2007). I also like playing around with computers (read breaking them). My spending habits on computers usually goes in spurts. The system in my sig, just happens to be my latest one (in 2 yrs). But seeing how I've already found things I want to change, it probably won't be my last.
General info: I grew up in Prince George BC, and moved up to Whitehorse after I graded in 2000 (seems like a long time ago - wow). Other than occasionally camping (maybe a couple times a yr), and some biking, I hate the outdoors. I'm not into hiking, hunting or any of the outdoor winter sports. The summers suck, and are cold, and short. And it never gets dark (I **** you not). The winters are long (very very long), and ****ing cold. Last week, I woke up to -37C (car would barly start). Joy. And it's usually dark all day long (I haven't worn sunglass's in several months). And even with the money aside (which is pretty good - makes up for everything being overpriced), I just love it up here, and don't really see myself some where else.
College is dirt cheep up here (thank you federal gov't), I spent around $3,500 in 2 yrs, including books & supplies. During those two years I was taking computer studies. Unfortunatly due to my living situtation, I wasn't able to finish the program. So instead I went back to work full time with NMI Mobility (a subsidary of Bell Mobility), and bought a little trailer/mobile home about 5 minutes from work. The place will be paid for in 5yrs, and then I'll almost definately be going back to school. I have no clue what I want to do (probably won't be the computer studies program).
However with the current job paying all the bills, and leaving enought to waste on new electronic toys (doesn't everyone need a 42" plasma?), and other much needed items (new computer & LCD Monitor). I don't feel any need to run back anytime soon.
Back in Prince George, I have 2 younger brothers, who are 16 & 12, and they live with my mom & step-father. Here in Whitehorse, I have a 14.5yr old sister (going on 25) who I spoil a lot and am very close to, and a 13 yr old brother, who everyone thinks of as a little ****er. But we get along ok. And I'm teaching him what little I know about computers, and how to put them together.
I started folding for Team 93 (tonight). I'm gonna keep my work desktop folding 24/7 (work pays for that power bill). But I'm leary of leaving my home system on like that... now that I get to pay my own power bill :cry: (would I see much of an increass using the system below - has a 600 watt P/S?).
I found this site while looking for answers about my RAID issue in the new system. But everyone was so friendly that I had to stay. So here I am. Oh yeah, did I mention that I'm into hockey?
I kinda started lurking around here after i've googled for M2N32 SLI Deluxe's issues and the big ass thread here was quite helpful . I sort of knew about what Folding@Home was all about but never cared to research more. After i've seen all those Sigs, i kinda started thinking what's this all about. I stumbled upon this section and then downloaded the utility and voilah..
I just have one question... Usually I prefer having as low temps as possible but after starting the folding thing at load my temps are as high as 47 or so.. and at idle somewhere around 45.. I've never planned to run a constant load utility aside some BT clients. Only one or two days stress testing was the max i've ever done. So was wondering if there is anything i should be worrying about?
As you know, I also have the M2N32-SLI Deluxe Running constantly at 47-49 is not a concern for me. I have always, from the moment I build a machine, run both cores at 100%. With adequate cooling, there are no issues. If your temps are 47, that indicates adequate cooling for full load
I'm Charlie from Windsor Nova Scotia...
It all started a few years ago with an Apple][+, C64, 1040ST... I digress :o
Computer Technician in my 9to5, electronics as a hobby (Not as much as i'd like though... way too much 9to5 gets in the way )
Been lurking here for a little while and found a lot of great answers and very interesting reading. My folding box which had a previous score of 161857 for another team is now under the control of Team 93
For some reason my SIG wont work... (Cut and Pasted from the Generator)
Looks like a great bunch of folks here, mind if I take my hat off and sit a spell?
Hi Folk's been meaning to puts some point's here for a while, but thanks to reading RWB's post in the SM pub. about his neighbor's fire MY wife and I are still alive so time to ante up, one core of a e6400 for team 93 might add more later .
the name is Chris location Scotland and position glad to be alive

Trust me doc! You are far from taking my distinctive honor from me. I am the oldest in age of all the members of Team Short-Media. I am also one of the least knowledgeable - and I would guess the one closest to absolute poverty. All I have is a wonderful wife (now over 5 years cancer free) who is very understanding when I declare that I have built my last computer. She just smiles - after 46 years she knows me pretty well. Welcome to the team - and remember, you can never have too many computers. Jack

G'day doc. I do believe witenoiz to be correct about being the oldest @ SM.
I have 8 yrs on you so basically, consider yourself to be a youngster.:)
Where to start? If you know your U.S. state abbreviations, you're one step ahead. I spend most of my life as a student at the University of Iowa, majoring in biology with a focus on genetics. Outside of that, I tend to do a lot of online gaming in my spare time. Also big on the reading part, whether it's nonfiction or fiction.
I'm also involved in my university's American Sign Language club (ASL being my foreign language requirement of choice) and the local American Indian Student Association (I took several courses under one of our native studies department heads).
I'm hoping to put in my two bits of folding, no matter how small they may be.

Welcome to S-M IAstudent I was born in a little town called Rinard, Iowa - and I attended Iowa U for a very short time in the mid '50's. Iowa City has to be one of the hilly-ist cities in the world. But what a great school. Glad to have you with us on Team 93 Jack
