I just folded my first protein

[techwise]

HEY!!! I just noticed that I have passed a million points!!

Woo Hoo...

Sweet. We have an official "7 figure" club going.

So... who's heard of World Community Grid and has some comments on their efforts?

So... who's heard of Wold Community Grid and has some comments on their efforts?

No comments on their efforts, but it's the distributed computing project that is officially sanctioned at work so I've been running it for like 3 years.

Oh, and when you hit a million points you get this.

[techwise]

Cool!!

Too bad our trend line is steadily declining.

But we -are- still producing.

(uh... so what do I win???)

Woohoo! I fixed that problem with my trend.

Hey, I feel a little better now that I came across this:

Unfortunately, as a team we just keep losing ground in the ranks.

There is no way to fix this except to recruit folders. Im gonna bring it up at mu LUG meeting tomorrow and make sure everyone knows about it, but even thats not enough to get us on an upward trend. We need lots of new and active folders.

You know what else you don't see every day?

So... did they change the way they process work units, or something? I seem to be getting more points per work unit recently.

I've been up close to the range of mhanson's (techwise's) ankles lately.

Well, except for your little slip of late:

I made top 15? I'm happy and sad. Happy I made it, but I had to cut back the number of PCs running the client. So that means there aren't that many people still folding on the team...

[je_fro]

I'm still optimistic

[techwise]

So... did they change the way they process work units, or something?

I was curious myself. Yesterday I checked all my machines and they seemed to be doing units as normal except for one that was timing out on getting a new unit. I wonder if units have been in short supply or the server has been down because my daily points are down like 40%.

There hasn't been any outages reported on the FAH site so I don't know what to make of it.

Id love to come by some extra cache and upgrade one of my servers to faster Xeons.

Cheers

Mike

[bs_texas]

cache for you...

[cybertron]

Ouch, my point production of late has taken a big hit. I've noticed that I've had a lot of work units that were using only about 50% of my CPU though so I think that may have a lot to do with it. Plus my Myth box got shut down by a power outage while I was on vacation last week so it wasn't doing any work either.
