(Vanity) Free Republic Folders Search for a Cure for Cancer, Alzheimer's (and beat down DU!)

Figures. Looks like I reinvented the wheel.

But you did it so well!

That's not the worse thing...the worse thing is that with all your CPUs, you will eventually pass me. Dude that is soooooooo wrong. Back off, or I'll have to mortgage the house and buy a new rig.

Were you using a Pentium? I can't remember which model, but one specific make of (I think it was) Pentium II, but maybe III had a finite life span, measured (roughly) in usage, due to a design flaw. Of course, that was quickly fixed in the newer models once discovered. The circuits had been too close together, and generated heat which damaged the comp with high usage.

Desktop computers normally don't have a finite lifetime, beyond becoming obsolete in terms of system prereqs. I have a Mac plus from the mid or late 1980s in my house that I still use for kicks and giggles sometimes. Laptops too, assuming you take proper care of the battery (running it down and reloading it when you should; my comp sci friends tell me once a month is more than adequate).

This shouldn't affect the (non-existent) lifespan of your comp in any way, as far as I know. But ask a hardcore tech-geek here, and you can get a better answer, if that doesn't satisfy you. ;)

That's not the worse thing...the worse thing is that with all your CPUs, you will eventually pass me.

But you did it so well!

Why, thank you!

Always looking for any excuse to geek out.

I don't know how to do a screen cap, but I have ...

Team number 36120

Finished WU's 0

Waiting for core step# 58

This is another "Please consider joining the team" bump.

We are honored to have such a distinguished gentleman as yourself joining our humble group.

Feel free to put it on all of your home computers.

Neato!

From the competition's latest folding thread:

DU: Reason to be (very) optomistic, re: catching and bypassing freepers

In otherwords, we are off to a better start than the freepers and they know it. Their number of new members and particpants has leveled out and ours are still climbing.

These guys continue to grasp at any metric that shows that they have a chance. "The exit polls are more accurate then actual results!" lol

"... fold on two cpus over the home network, and I can keep track on them both from anywhere with that neat little program."

I use FahMon and really like it, but is there a way to check it over the Internet? I'd love to be able to check Folding progress on my home computers from work or on the road - like Egon obviously can with his web page (nice work!).

Sorry, I was a little overzealous. Egon's method definitely works over the internet. FahMon probably could be rigged to run over the internet, but I wouldn't know how to attempt it.

I meant "anywhere" on my home network.

The easiest way is to share the F@H folder on each machine, then mount those folders as network shares from your "main" machine. Point FahMon at those shared folders, and you're in bidness. ;)

But would you open all that to the internet so FahMon would work from outside your home network? I wouldn't.

I wouldn't open it up, but aren't we talking about monitoring from inside the network?

Hangemhigh wanted something outside the home network, like Egon's solution.

Mine's a pretty simple ASP/VB solution. I can make the code available if anyone's interested.

Sounds like a plan :)
