(Vanity) Folding@Home FReepers - A Tribute to Ronald Reagan

OK, new thread for the next week.

First, a big shout out to the SETI and BOINC members who have added CPUs to the effort. Remember, its Team 36120, NOT Team 0.

Next, congrats to all for bumping our team up to 384 processors and 192 user names. We have a number of new users in the team, with nearly a dozen folders now from GetLoaded.com all popping onto the hit list this week.

Special mention to Klutz Dohanger, who has quietly volunteered 80 systems to fold. That is 20% of all of the Free Republic Folders systems actively engaged in research. He is on a pace to pop 100,000 points personally before the end of January.

Malsua, uriah, Ken in Texas and Andrewksu are solidly in the top 10. Malsua is continuing to add (fast) systems and is now the number two folder on the team. Andrewksu will be the next member to hit 10,000 points. Great job!

Free Republic Folding@Home Stats Page

On the global front, Free Republic Folders is now listed at # 624. We are poised to overtake (today):

Flowers of Happiness (awww, ain’t that sweet)
SpongeZone
Team Redneck Beatdown
Go Navy!
French-Krew
and the Rochester Institute of Technology

As we continue to grow there are a number of milestones coming around the bend:

Top 600 by Monday
Top 500 within eight days
Top 400 within three weeks

We have 430,000 points so far. We will reach:

500,000 points by Thursday
750,000 points by Jan 24
1,000,000 points in early February

Thanks again to all that are helping us advance science and promote the peaceful use of computers.

Ok, this is one of those quirks... but our number of contributors & position should intersect here shortly, :-).

Your kids say it because they are like me and realize how dumb they are relative. :)

I just added another CPU, only a K6-2 400MHz. It got a 3750 frame (166 point) first work unit. Estimated completion time is not listed on the win98 (F@H4.x) client that I could see in my limited time with the box. I was thinking of ditching the gui client and putting in the console version for that box, but the console version does not appear to be available for win9x.

I just put a console client on a file share I have here at my second job. Lets see what kind of results I get with that bad boy.

As is said - old age and treachery will win out over youth and exuberance every time. ":^)

It's that sine wave effect of age vs perceived intelligence.

When you're really young, you think your parents are the smartest people on earth, and they think that you're the smartest kid on earth... then .... long about the time you reach 50 or so, the mutual admiration of each other's relative merits again co-incide...

Drat, gotta wait 3 hours for the stats sites to update.. I'm eager to see how the lines jump from 700 point work units. (And it drew another one, so the next one will be in 9 days... Long workunits.)

For those who are setting up remote units, may I suggest that you get a free LogMeIn.com account? You can remotely log into the computer from any browser (even do it with my pocketpc) and best of all, no cost involved (I did get one premium subscription to switch between the computers just in case I need to do file transfers while on the road, $69.95 a year.)

And I see we're on track to break 500 on the 14th at some time. Nicely done folks - now get your neighbors folding for the Gipper too! :)

Congratulations on passing the 100,000 point mark! It is an honor to fold on a team with such top producers.

Thanks all... but don't forget, there are 440,000 other points out there, that add in to the team total.

We're on track to bust 1,000,000 by the end of the month, so lets keep folding. :)

Gotta say, it's not just the points you've added. You (and several others) have educated and assisted a lot of other FReepers. Thanks.

Sure. Next Tuesday, from 8am until around 11ish... Monthly staff meeting, and you can ooh and aah at the personal tales of woe, misery, and grandchildren's accomplishments that I'm forced to endure...

If you can get me excused from the monthly torture session, I'll loan you 10 CPU's for a week :)
