Over on this thread is a proposal for a FR 10th anniversary get-together:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1651547/posts

Any thoughts of Texas FReepers and Folders that would want to attend (and conscript FReeper computers as contributors)?

Just a thought.

[JosephW]

Make my goal for Monday morning (in the top 150). Looking to hopefully make top 125 by next Monday (although 120 would be nice)

[dfwddr]

Monday night PING....

Seems there's only about 24 teams outfolding us at this point. Many of the rest have a bit of a jump on us, but I'm sure they know by now, they WILL be going down.

[texas booster]

I expect that as we continually add a few more folders than we lose every month, we will be holding our own against the 25 - 50 place teams.

Once our bigger contributors kick back in, we will pop close to the Top 20 of all teams in daily production.

Come on, August!

[GRRRRR]

Hey, laptop FROZE up over the weekend, but I got TWO units finished!

Now I got assigned something BIG..p2106_lambda_5way_mei??

Give it a bit until it has some track record to give you a better completion estimate.

...and there won't be quite as much red and yellow on the FAHMonitor page!

[GRRRRR]

Yeah, that's what I figured, after a reboot, it's not got any history to go on..

Later!

My laptop just lost a large, finished WU when I tried to connect and send it. I don't know what happened, it gave me some kind of "empty work folder" message, downloaded a new project and started working on it.

[Klutz Dohanger]

1. #94, and #93, sometime tommorrow.

2. 10,000 WU bump for me :)

3. Next milestone, 2 million, top 200 folders overall, and a new airconditioning unit.

(Lazy *****'s still haven't installed it, but I made up for it, a bit, by doing some "lab experiments", to get me back up in the 6K point range. Don't wanna push my luck, but yeah, c'mon august... )

4. EOC took a data collection nose dive last night, really skewed up the stats, but since everyone's equally affected, no biggie.

5. Has anyone found a DU folding thread, since the mods pulled #11, after the Bush Country graphic fiasco? That may have been their last hurrah. I think goatSE admissions, and a chiding from a well known freeper folder, probably put them into panic mode or something.

[Drango]

august bump!

Dittos! I'd love to see it, if anyone has a link! Bump!!!

BTW...We're 95!!!!

...I am just a small, small part....

LMAO! Dude, you're funny. I can't wait until you ramp up in August!

[andyk]

Not only will I add more stations from my Florida warehouse, I will figure out why the XML DLLs were giving me DLL heck. :)

LSimpson has toasted me like a johnsonville wiener.

I cracked the top 20 producers list today for the first time.

Anybody know how to run the console FAH client (not as a service, just from a command window) under the semi current Betas of Vista?

I tried by using the registry keys I use with XP and W2K, and got farther than without, but it would sort of start, list all the waypoints done to date on a unit and then halt with the window still open.

Talk to Klutz (re:post 72), I'll bet he can help.

[texas booster]

That's great! Top 20 on our team and Top 20 on other politically motivated boards are very different challenges.

We have three new folders that are really producing a lot of points. I find it fantastic that the Free Republic Folders is attracting such talented (and CPU rich) folders to help out the project.

[Egon]

Hey Egon, got any suprises in store for us with your shutdown ?

OK, so it had nothing to do with the shutdown, but check this out...

I've added functionality to track a history of projects (and their starting timestamp) for each machine. You can access it by clicking on the status indicator light next to your machine (even if it's invisible-- indicating OK).

While it's not sexy yet, it does give me the ability to add some functionality later on like:

• Figuring out average times for a given project
• Determining what percentage of time a given project is handed out
• Rating a machine in points-per-hour
• Anything else that someone with more imagination than me can come up with.

The caveat, of course, is: I only have access to the starting time of each project. This means there are some things that can throw off the completion times like: inability to download the next project for a bit, downtime of the machine, etc.

Suggestions on this and anything else are always welcome!
