Cue massive flow of new members... now!
:welcome: to Hound53, LordofDoom, Polygon and dcsfd :toast:
Great to see some spark at the team :cool:
Good karma for folders... and we are now at better pace :p:
Joined.
P4@3.2Ghz now dedicated to the task 24/7. I'll look into devoting idle and sleep time on main rig too (also on 24/7).
Have always been intrigued by this, glad I have finally taken the plunge.
Thanks and welcome to the team:toast: . At this rate top 100 will be ours by Christmas:D
Regards
John.
How/how long before my username is recognised? i.e., placing GAM in the sig stats produces 'user not found' (or similar). 'GAM' is the username I specified during (console) config/run.
I'm not expecting to see any user scores because nothing is finished, but I thought the username would be recognised and are wondering whether I missed something.
you have to deliver a finished WU before username is recognised....
Thanks.Quote:

In this case, is the WU comprised of 500,000 steps? And is this size a typical example?
If you mean pointswise... how much you're going to be credited for what project and how long it going to take totally.Quote:

Then again: (project 2096) 400000 steps, 178 points, 1% =4000 steps. So cannot make much of conclusions from quantity of steps.
Yes, I see. Your examples essentially answered the question.Quote:

Cheers. ...folding away..........
welcome everyone :wtf:
I recently had my PSU fan in the one computer blow out :( Sudden horrendous grinding noise and the fan rpms can't have been more than 50 or so. I temporarily put a case fan in its place until I can get back to my stash of fans to replace it so it is up and running again.
Currently I have these systems folding :fact:
A64 3700+ @ 2.86GHz with 2GB RAM
A64 2800+ with 512MB RAM
P4 2.8GHz with 384MB RAM
duron 1.2GHz with 256MB of RAM
P3 750MHz (the one the fan blew out in) with 256MB RAM
I hope to have 2 more folding soon, a celeron 1.5GHz with 256MB RAM and some other random P3 that I have no idea the specs on and don't even know if it works right. Hopefully it does though.
fold on :wtf: :woot:
Its always a bit of a worry when a PSU fan fails, I've had it happen to me but there was no noise, just a worrying smoky smell which took some tracking down.
Interesting mix of machines SparkyJJO, are they all stacked up in a room or spread around at friends/family homes? There's a thread with piccies of some of the folders around here somewhere, dig it out & post a photo of your setup, I need to update my photos too since I moved; looks more organised here now.
Btw The old 10x100 & 11x100 celerons I've had both worked at 133mhz bus iirc. Might be worth a go on the one you've got if its not 133 bus default.
2 of them are at home (the A64 2800+ and the P4) because they are the family PC and a server. The rest of the functional ones are with me in my dorm room.
I call it the "poor man's setup" :p: Pretty much I spent all my money building my main system (the fastest one of course) and then found out about XS and F@H. Ever since then I've been scrounging up random parts to build folding computers. Since I'm in school and college is expensive I can't afford to build really nice systems like some people here :( But I try my best :)
Well there's only so much stuff you can jam in a dorm room, my room at uni was big enough for a small bed, a desk, & enough room to squeeze between the two :hehe:
Keep searching & scrounging man, you let the right people know that you'll happily take old computer parts, eventually someone will hand over something decent free of charge. Most of the stuff I get is junk, but yesterday a friend gave me some bits that are worth holding onto:
-Chenbro 611 Tower Case
-Blown GB motherboard, ok well thats junk
-P4 478, turns out its a 2.66/533 chip ;)
-Zalmann Northbridge heatsink
Fold on :D
Well space isn't a problem, this room is actually fairly big. I think I'd trip the circuit breaker to my room before I run out of space for the systems :lol:Quote:

I would say no.........not til deadlineless are back.
My Duron 800 got one of those slow 2124's and is still running it a month later :eek:
Er.... ooops. :slap:
I thougth user names were case-sensitive. I have just completed my first WU with a couple more on their way. I specified the right team, but when I checked the stats page, it is indicating that the user 'GAM' has used 'more than one team'. The stats page indicates seperate points for different teams but implies the one username.
When I searched and checked for a username I entered 'GAM'. I noticed 'Gam' and 'gam' and assumed they were different and that usernmes were case-sensitive.
Can someone please confirm whether this is true and that I should change my username to something unique or is the username case-sensitive and the details will sort themselves out in time?
Advice appreciated.
Cheers
You have no problem at all with your username... as there wasn't already anybody named GAM in our team 36362... in the case if there had been: you would have been contributing to him or you will have combined nice little team together.
Simple enough... I could name to my client GAM... so I would be helping you :)
Thanks sc00p.
I panicked. Everything has registered properly now. See....

:D
@gam: :toast: one of those to cool you down... that you got nice start IC :clap:
@servin247365: YGPM :)
Like everything else in this site and all its subject matter... this is another addiction I don't really need :rolleyes: . At least this one is for a good cause. ;)
On target for another 1500pts/3 WUs in the next two days.
Thanks and bottoms up :toast:
Can anyone offer any suggestions here, completed work unit cannot be sent.
Log entry:
[22:50:01] + Attempting to send results
[22:50:22] - Couldn't send HTTP request to server
[22:50:22] + Could not connect to Work Server (results)
[22:50:22] (171.65.103.162:8080)
[22:50:22] - Error: Could not transmit unit 03 (completed September 22) to work server.
It has sent one previously but for some can't send this time.
Note, hard/soft firewalls seem to be configured correctly.
Welcome suggestions.
occasionally there are server gliches that require the completed wu's to be held in que for awhile. Usually it will transfer later. Did you get new work?? If so, I wouldn't worry for awhile about it.Quote:

Movin' on up, I'm movin' on up... :bananal:
I've broken the 100 barrier to be ranked 92 for Team 36362
:woot: :YIPPIE: :woot:
Sorry if the post offends anyone, I couldn't help myself :rolleyes:
I had a couple of big unsubmitted WU's dated 23/24 Sept. that I finally managed to force into submission :cord:
Not reflected in sig yet...
