Welcome new folders! We have some very unofficial protocols you may not know about.

  1. If you have folding questions, please ask. Others are glad to assist.
  2.  If you have technical ‘puter skills please share ‘em with other “folders” as we all were beginners at one point. If you have no technical skills don’t let that stop you from opining on a ‘puter problem, it’s never stopped me.
  3. If someone passes you on the list, it is OK to snivel about your lack of “folding” power. It is also cool to blame you lack of CPUs on your spouse who watches the budget like a hawk.
  4. Borg every computer you can, but always get the owners permission. Borg, borg, borg.
  5.  I you have taken out a second mortgage on your house to upgrade your ‘puter, please let us know.
  6.  The Freeper folding flux capacitor upgrade is generating impressive point increases.
  7.  Use Freepmail to communicate to others how we jimmied the results at Stanford to get extra points. In no case should you discuss the methods in an open forum. If you must, use the code.

Thanks for the welcome.

Off to a bit of a rock start, but I'm beating the issues.

The switch to the console client solves conflicts with my OpenGL applications. Now I just have to ventilate my cabinet to prevent heat buildup when the cabinet is closed and the machine is folding.

I have one of those computer cabinets with four doors; two above the desk and two below. When it's closed, the CPU is enclosed in a volume of space below the desktop that it is capable of heating to unacceptable levels. Left closed, on a normal day, it can cause the CPU to stop executing; forcing a reboot after amply ventilating the space.

I plan to open the back of the cabinet and install a quiet 6" fan -- perhaps two -- to force the heated air to exhaust behind the cabinet. This will pull cool air in around a 1" gap at the floor and keep the machine running at acceptable temperatures.
