I think it has to do with some spam domains we were filtering, although I can't be sure.

Looks like ExtremeOverClocking has stopped doing the folding stats. For the last couple of days my links to there only open blank pages.

I've noticed justlinux_regulars is slipping in the wrong direction in the Team Rankings. Not long ago I checked it and we were at, like, 137, or so. Today I checked and we are at 152.

I may have a new job opportunity coming up soon. If that happens I'll probably loose 5 of the computers I have folding. 'bout time to start thinking 'bout building a new 64 bit machine... or 2.. or 3...

je_fro, what's your rig setup? Don't you have a dual processor opteron setup?

That's working for me...
I've got 2 opterons and a core2duo folding, when I'm not using them for other things...

[bs_texas]

Hmmm....

Are you sure that isn't cached old stuff. I can't hit their folding pages at all. Either from slackware with firefox or windows xp with firefox or IE.

It seems to work here too. Weird.

[je_fro]

it's working and current because my latest dip to 0 WU is because I've been doing some modeling of my own...
it might lag a couple of days sometimes, but overall I use it as a crude measure of WU productivity...

[bs_texas]

Well, I can hit ExtremeOverClocking, but not their Folding pages.

I can't do it at home or at work on the public network and I can't hit it from the .mil network.

Looks like the proxy police are at it again! Blocking stuff they don't understand.

Ah, a good reminder to get all of my systems back up and folding. I recently had to reinstall both my Myth box and my webserver (damn script kiddies and two year old unpatched PHP Nuke sites that you forgot about ) and hadn't gotten folding back running on both of them yet.

I've also lost a couple of days worth on my main box because I forget to turn it back on after gaming (for some reason folding has been stealing CPU time from my games even though it's niced to 19 so I have to shut it off ).

This underlines the importance of folding... this guy isn't using Stanford FAH, but when BOINC gets their act together we'll be working on his stuff too..

[bs_texas]

So, is everybody sharing info/results or is it a competition?

Edit: Oops, I see you say he isn't using the Stanford folding stuff. Seems like in this field... the more info the better. Hopefully, there is some extent of sharing info that goes on.

[je_fro]

Of course there is... that's the "currency" of academia: sharing info.

[nolimit974]

is there a gui for folding if so where can I get it?

[je_fro]

no, there's currently no gui for folding at home

[bs_texas]

Well, since I've changed jobs, I've had to give up 7 of the computers I was folding with. I'm down to 5 'folders' now.

This computer is one I recently built from spare parts. I just started folding with it. It has a P4 2.26 GHz processor that I've overclocked up to 2.7 GHz. Apprently it'll go higher, but my 2 120mm fans are already working full time.

Asus Probe (yeah, this one is a Windows XP machine ) tells me that the CPU temperature, running at 100%, is staying at about a steady 105 degrees F (41 degrees C). I don't think that temp for prolonged periods is that bad, but I could be wrong.

Any thoughts?

(I've tried using the attachments option here for a couple of images. We'll see if that works.)
