Pic doesn't show Mike ;)
hotlinking to my.afterdawn :poke:
:cool:
Photofinish though pretty cool to look at :wtf:
Spring break sounds good here also, I will also try to have an i7 or two buy then...:up:
I think it is Spring Break than. Mike, will you be available by then? The Bobs have notices your particularly excellent spreadsheet skills. :up::up:
I guess my WU distribution was a little worse than Mike's. Even though I was beating him usually day to day he still pulled more points than me in the closing stretch. My wife shutting down her 8800GTX for a day wouldn't have been made up the points if it were running. I do humbly accept defeat. GOOD RACE THOUGH. :up::up::up: :yepp::yepp::yepp:
MaK needs glasses :bravo:
yeah, I sent a memo to her :rofl:Quote:

If not, please contact MkeB12 Fire Insurance, because we want to save your house.
yeah, actually Mak kicked my ass in the 4th week (228k to 203k), the problem is he stumbled in week2... while I was pretty even every week all 4 weeks (200k ish)....
lol :rofl:
Marvn's volunteered for sorekeeping on the next race...
I just finished 2 tours in the jungle of copy/paste cell hell.. they tell me I need to take a break from combat for a bit to see if they can integrate me into the real world again. so far it's going good, except I have a severe ringing in my ears.. they say it's from excessive noise in combat, and that's normal when you have explosions and loud metal banging going off outside your office at 4 am every morning. they say some soldiers eventually get used to it or turn to substance abuse to drown it out. they showed me this one case study on a guy named dak.. he was able to enter the real world again, but still bangs and blows things up every morning and drinks himself to sleep every night. so we'll see how it goes. :ROTF:
I just heard that the bob's are moving Mike's office back down to da basement so that the furnace drowns out the metal trash can lids banging...The tastee little tarts (Referee's) are all moving in with DAK, he just installed a Ginormous size waterbed in his office. Great news Mike, the bob's are gonna buy you a new compy for all the hard work you've done with the Halloween race. The only problem is that you can't plug it in till March (Easter Race).
So sorry :ROTF:
I'll just leave it in the box til after xmas when I get back from north pole... that new intern marvin can have my old pc in the basement, then he'll have an office now instead of wandering the halls all day. :ROTF:
until then, I'm a little busy.. :clap:

I'd say you were busy...Need some help ?
Yeah old man, you up to the task on your own or do you need some young blood to fully do the task in satisfactory way :bravo:
great race everyone...i had a good time trying to get all my folding rigs up, but that never happened :( March sounds good, gives me a few months to stock up on some more secret weapons the WILL work :)
I must have forgot to kneel in the direction of Pande when I was supposed to or something. Had a 260 and half of a 98GX2 EUEed on 5506 too. Bah!! :down::down::down:Quote:

If his graphs continues to look like this we may have to take his Xtreme folding title. :yepp:
PENALTY TO WFO!!
Decreased output is not allowed. Since this is the first offense we will let this on go lightly.

Let it go my BUTT !!! WFO, reports to the bob's immediately !!!!:rofl:
I donīt think we can complain, the costs he made with the electricity consumption he already said is the biggest limit for his contribution. So if he spreads them around in the contests, and drops back during breaks.. well I think heīll still keep climbing up in ranks as when he goes he goes faster then anyone here..
Iīll keep the quote in my sig though just because he still has earned it, it will wear off though :cord: :cord:

You can penalize him all you want, but hell with the refs here he might even enjoy it ;) You play hard ball I try reason.. if he keeps slacking I promise to change the quote.. to something like
īThis link shows WFO folding production during our last contestī link!
īThis is his current productionīlink!
This is his titleī link!
This is the mod we can mass pm to have his title removed and changed to Xtreme sprint folder ;)
No matter how you turn it, he keeps the extreme, and I donīt dare to go as far as saying extreme slacker, just now I realised I need a beefier psu since this one might be enough watts but itīs a pos brand and I donīt trust it.

Just in from FBNN (Folder's Broadcast News Network):
GOOD NEWS:
WFO's application to FEFA (Folder's Extreme Financial Aid) was approved to help with the mountainous proportion of financial burden incurred in the past month...
BAD NEWS:
Dean Marvin just suffered what the doctors think is a mild heart attack or stroke brought on by job stress...
He was whisked away by ambulance to PGH (Pande General Hospital) for treatment and further testing by his Cardiologist, Catawalks MD.

Ahhhh nicotine and fresh air.. what a combination :)

BANG ... BANG... BANG.

:rofl:

that ship has sailed

I hitched a ride to port 2 days ago
http://www.scootplace.net/smiles/original/390.gif
i know mike, i just couldnt resist it
every day for the last 4 weeks ive been checking my stats...
and i kinda miss it :) lol
You and dak are having morning withdrawals.. the lack of metal noise has induced a series of DT's that will slowly dissipate as the detox period progresses... :ROTF:
MikeB12
I think that has become the standard XtremeSystems Forum wake up post how else are we going to get members awake and going with out rattling the trash can lids to get you out of bed so the rest of us know its time to get going as well.:horse::sofa:
yeah, I know.. plus it's kind of fun running around like lunatics banging on things...
I'm looking forward to picking up some lids on the next race for Marvin's initiation..
luckily for him he's 7 hrs ahead of eoc time, so 6 am eoc is 12 noon there.
it'll be like ringing the lunchtime dinner bell, except with a stick inside a metal trash can. :ROTF:
Mhm well I'm looking at team tables which scores, for me generating charts is a matter of exporting it to either excel as you make the charts they kinda got used to with that or getting the stats page up and add a contest tab for it. Still needs allot of work to get it running as intended but when it does, no need to bang trashcan lids before my window and the first who does get a bucket of water of em anyway :devil:
Unless the stats are broken ( and not because of stanford ) then you can all call me on my mobile in the middle of the night ;)
:rofl: be sure to pick up your official XS water proof gear,
before heading over to marvin's....

trash cans and lids will be available on the bus. :ROTF:

Thank god.. we got plastic garbage can's here, they don't make that much noise :P

You need to be extra careful in Europe when passing under windows along the sidewalk as it was a common practice to empty the chamber pot in out the window onto the sidewalk who knows Marvin might revive that practice for the race :rofl::ROTF::sofa::shrug:
ROFL... and I bet he spices up the diet of the household during the race.. and trains Shadow to plant mine fields in strategic gathering areas.
we may have to convert to giving all the hecklers these, and heckle from a distance.

here's one little last bit of info to screw around with...
I call this the POST RACE 60 HR COOL OFF LAP... Sun - Tues (noon)
Do you have info for the 24 hour before and after we can see? I posted WFOs before and it was funny. It would be interesting to see how many people are cooling off and how many are still trucking.
no, this was a weekly comp, no ppd values, only ppw's
but I can take week5 on sat at midnight and call it a cool down week.
and graph it next to week4, which was a full on week.
Next best thing is good enough.
rofl, reminds me of this commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhFPlWPezF0Quote:

Alex Trebek: It's not a product, Mr. Connery.
Sean Connery: Because I've ordered devices like that before - wasted a pretty penny, I don't mind telling you. And if The Penis Mightier works, I'll order a dozen.
Alex Trebek: It's not a Penis Mightier, Mr. Connery. There's no such thing!
Nicholas Cage: Wait, wait, wait.. are you selling Penis Mightiers?
Alex Trebek: No! No, I'm not.
Sean Connery: Well, you're sitting on a gold mine, Trebek!
It wasn't quite what it looked like. ;) I stopped short of 10,000,000 with my other team for the race. I threw up a quick 200K there and now I'm cruising. :yepp:Quote:

Click on your username to get a certificate. I didn't even noticed I'm finally in the millionaire's club.. most people are told and congratulated but I had to blow my own horn thanks guys :up:
Sorry Marvin I haven't been looking at people's numbers recently. Only noticed mine at 2M since I see my sig every time I post and I knew it was coming up so I was looking at it every day.
It's not ment to anyone personal, tbh I haven't been following it as good either there are just more active people now and it's allot harder to keep track on everyone :)
Maybe it's also because all your sig are still blocked :rofl: Jason still hasn't unblocked my ip :poke:
I think I will hit 2M in three days... Can't wait!! :up::up::up::shakes:
You all should feel proud of your accomplishments. I am proud to be affiliated with each of you. Now it's time for more Grey Goose.

Maybe Eva will be there too. One can only hope.
a mile of sticker bushes....
He laid her on the table
So white, clean and bare.
His forehead wet with beads of sweat,
He rubbed her here and there.
He touched her neck and then her breast,
And then, drooling, felt her thigh.
The slit was wet and all was set, He gave a joyous cry.
The hole was wide...he looked inside,
All was dark and murky.
He rubbed his hands and stretched out his arms,
And then he stuffed the turkey.
Happy Thanksgiving guys!!! :)
The race power bill wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. :) It's still more than a sane person would want to spend on a monthly basis unless they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. :yepp: That's almost a new I7 rig per month. :eek:

And the bad economy is hitting... I think my landlord is in foreclosure. He is requesting I move immediately due to hardship which means he is probably in foreclosure. (my lease isn't up till August '09) I may have to shut down completely till I figure out where I am going and what it will cost. :( I'm playing it by ear for now. :down:
Not sure about there but most leases say if you break the lease you have to pay something. What about if the owner breaks the lease, make them pay you if they throw you out... :up:Quote:

do yall still want a week4 - week 5 comparison?
I haven't done it yet.... and if no one wants it, I see no reason to mess with it after the race has been over for a week.
we all know the results, everyone is going to be down from wu's and holidays...
just like the main team pg is
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...php?s=&t=36362
Sorry to hear that WFO, I was under the impression with the mortage issues that properties would be cheaper, and therefore rents would go down as well to stay competitive. There is probably a large gap between cause and follow up though :(
Hope you get things sorted in a quick and good way :up: Even wurse wth where they doing going to you the day before your national holiday, that must have sucked big time :argue:
Thanks Marvin. Actually, with all the foreclosures rents have gone up. Those buying are in a good position but credit has tightened up making purchasing more difficult. I refused to deal with it over the holiday. I'll start looking Monday. :)Quote:
