FR Folding@Home Project Update - We're in the Top 150 teams Worldwide! (A Tribute to Ronald Reagan)
Stanford University Mathematics Department ^ | 03/20/2006 | Many Volunteers

Posted on 03/20/2006 8:50:19 PM PST by texas booster

OK, new thread for the next week, celebrating the first of many Million point producers – our very own Klutz_Dohanger!

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 1011 processors and 305 user names. We have a number of new users in the team, with over 50 computers from GetLoaded.com, a trucking support website, all contributing while their owners ply our freeways keeping the nation moving.

We now have 57 members who have contributed at least 10,000 points each. Woo-Hoo!

Even more impressive, our team now boasts 225 members who have folded at least 1,000 points. That is more than the entire number of folders for our erstwhile left-wing environazi competitors!

Free Republic Folding@Home Stats Page

On the global front, Free Republic Folders is now listed at # 157. We will be in the Top 150 on Saturday!

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

Top 150 by March 30
Top 100 by the end of the May

We have 3,350,000 points so far and have folded over 20,000 WU. We now fold over a million points per month, each and every month! Fantastic!

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

I feel your pain - just fininhed a 404 pointer and got a Tinker 241 that will take me 12 days! Sometimes this seem brutal - but as you say - slooow and steady.

Congrats Klutz. You da man and the Big Dog.

Being inspired by all of you I approached an aquaintance of mine who uses 7 computers in his biz. A couple new - most old. Short of the long - finally got them assimilated this evening. ( I learned a lot )

His only gripe - "OK now go talk to your team mates and find out how to get this stuff off of my desktop!"

So what is the cleanest way to gather up all the files and work folder and hide them without a problem for FAH? XP on the systems in question.

Anxiously waiting for the afterburners to kick in -

FreeAtlanta - we have been leap frogging each other while you are blowing everyones doors off - congrats to us for passing the 10K milestone - now I think we will rise together - gotta find more CPU's.

Too much fun - hey DU - what's your problem?

"Well, what I'd like to know, looking at the overclocking stats, is why our daily point totals are bouncing up and down alot more than other teams, especially this one:
TITS ----> ( . Y . ) <---- TITS"

Because - they bounce up and down - Mmmmm - gotta love 'em - took a girlfrend to a shooting range to pop one of my 45s - she opted for a 22 after 10 or so rounds - everyone was watching her body jiggle with the recoil and she got embaressed.

Ya know - we do have a fixation on those things - and why not? First nurturiting thing on the planet!

I think I know what you are talking about. Did you install F@H to the desktop? I usually create a folder called C:\folding and install to it. As far as hiding something that is already on the desktop, you might try right clicking the icon, then selecting properties and then selecting hidden and apply. I tried it and it made an icon fade a little. It might not show up the next time I reboot? Otherwise, you might stop the folding program, create a new directory and install there. Some of the others might have a better suggestion. Good Luck and congrats on borging some more computers.

Currently, my well is dry and Chris_Primavera is breathing down our backs. Fortunately, I made top 50 before he passes me!

Log in as Admin. Download and run console. Run as service.

Log off. Let user log on.

Go to task mgr. - FAH should be using 99%CPU time. No need to have tray icon or console window open.

I finally got my first WU completed since January. I have been going over my computer again and again to try to figure out why I would get one 60-70% complete and then it would go back to 0%.

It seems my youngest son has a game called "Lego Rock Raiders" which was wiping out all of my work for some reason.

I should have another small wu done by midday.

So I have two machines that have I to run a 50 foot patch cable to when they need a net connection(temporarily). Since they are fairly modern, I check every morning if their done with their current WU.

Today I see one picks up p2108_dk_villin_ddsa_aybabtu_run0

See that? _aybabtu_ As in, All your base are belong to us.

If you see files on your desktop that read "FahCore_78" and "client.cfg" that you have a simple fix.

Copy the new FAH files (based upon the date timestamp) to a folder called F@H. Run the file "WinFAH.exe from that directory and all of the files will be using the new directory. Erase the F@H files from the desktop and he is clean.

Please do not erase every file from the desktop. One of my customers did that in an attempt to move pictures she had downloaded from her camera.

To: Klutz Dohanger; Fortyfied

Just to keep Klutz motivated, we need to point out that one of our members has already posted over 2,000,000 points for another F@H team - MR. fortyfied.

Klutz should beat that team in about 4 months or so, then we can have another party at the local cantina.

In the meantime, perhaps fortyfied can track down those last three or four systems that are still posting for the junkteam14042 ...

That's too funny! I guess I've never seen it as an acronym, so I didn't notice. Good eye!

Sure hope I don't get one of those. The 2107's have been eating my lunch.
