This Week's New Members

_Viking_
Energize
ramey
Robfow

A huge welcome one and all
If you haven't done so already then why not check out the Folding@Home Setup Guide and the Quickie Guide for more foldy-tastic tips especially for when you're in a rush


Phew what a scorcher!!!
Although there's a bit of red around the place this week (although not in the 24hr average where we'd hoped there was) we seem to have still done pretty well compared to most of the other teams.
I just hope this hellishly hot weather eases up a bit - serious lack of sleepage in the newsmeister house
Sorry anyone who's not been mentioned - you know what to do now
***Only got one machine crunching? - Have a looky here***

Welcome n00bs! Thanks for the news, Rich.

great Team News Rich, keep up the good work.

Babyface UK

Loving the 'news' as ever rich - keep up the good work (and my your ctrl key never fail)

Also loving the team scores - roll on next week, got some team stompage a-plenty.

Yo Bam0 nice forth place you really pulled out the stops
Looks like I'm being overtaken this week by more that one foldering addict.

Keep up the good work team and welcome newbie's

Thanks for the excellent news rich as always.

Ah well we only slipped 5k. Lets hope thats down to the stupidly hot weather we've had. I know I had to put not on two servers coz of it.

Thanks as always rich.

Are the stats this week a little bit off because of the stuff that been happening at stanford.edu?

It's just SB has only produced 361 instead of the usual 930
Seems to be nothing for the last 4 days http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=178059
Should I leave it for a bit and see wether it picks up again or shall I pay a vist to my friend and see whats up?

Doin' what I can
I've yet to get all my boxes stabley outputting yet, finally got them all folding, then one starts shutting down saying it's overheating, when it isn't at all.
Then the network setup changed while I was away for 2 days and I lost about 24hs folding. That's the only reason babyface_uk is still ahead of me Shouldn't be too long now I hope.

Congrats to the whole team though, losing any chasers and getting that much closer to the teams ahead, can't wait for the team stomp.

I would definately go and check on that rig - the stats weren't down for very long and you should have had a small stash ready for when the feed to EOC started working again

Hopefully it's just got silly big WUs but probably worth checking on

I've had to drop to 1 core at the moment.. for some silly reason my computer doesn't like a slight increase in temperature :/ I mean it's not that hot? Bah anyway, at least it's still crunching away.

Glad I'm still making the lists anyway!

I noticed I'm now on page 2!!

You and I have been having quite the battle Freefaller, our output is pretty equal

Will have to see how my X6800 goes this week
edit: Which is currently crunching a 41 pointer on 1 core. How crap is that!

Worst week ever for me! Had to stop running folding over night... room WAAY too hot.

Seems cooler today and weather man says it will be cooler for the next few days so I will probably get my rig back on a 24 hour schedule. I can't believe how low my output is though, I have only dropped about 10 hours a day and my output has been smashed by about 200 ppd!

Not liking all the red people in the overtakes stats either I demand you all switch your machines off for a few days

Oh, a strange problem with FahMon, for the last couple of days it occassionally crashes out with a memory error or somesuch nonsense... after that the only way to get it back up and running is a reboot... any idea what could be up?

EDIT: Wow, no wonder production has been down, one of my cores is doing a big 392 point stinker of a WU.. it's been at it for days lol.

SiriusB

Thanks for the stats Rich.

Congrats to Stormrider on the top single core this week! Similar to a few others, it seems my (relatively small) production is also down a bit. I'm gonna have to cut the slacking to try and get back up there next week

Up into the team top 200 and still rising steadily, watching bam0 and Babyface light up the charts from an ever increasing distance...

Thanks Unforgiven, I thought I was going to have a poorer week with the bad WUs I've had.
Thanks for the stats as well Rich, shame to see the daily average drop below the magic 50k.

It's just this heat! Wouldn't suprise me if most people are having to turn their machines off or lowering the amount of work F@H is doing in order to get a good nights sleep!

Is nice and cool at the moment so planning to leave PC on overnight

SiriusB

W00t ... I finally got my 60,000 tiffy

It seems to be one step forwards and two back for me at the moment. No sooner do I get to my new house and finally sort out the internet with BT (!), my graphics card packs up on my main X2 rig. So, I've got a X1900XT coming tomorrow, which I'll have a play with so I can get folding again properly.

Fold on Team 10!

Don't you just love them. This particular PC appears doomed ... I've replaced the faulty RAM (dead on arrival), a faulty PSU (dead on arrival), the mobo after a month and now my X800GTO graphics have died ! I don't think it actually wants to work .

Also, I've just noticed this on the EOC stats page ... LINKAGE ... where did everyone go?

I'd guess theat a fair few who joined up on the GD pimp have forgotten to leave it running

as for all you slackers complaining about the heat, I've had my bestest week in absolutly ages there must be more good woos about for us hardcore 24x7ers

Babyface UK

thanks for the update Doctor Rich..

carp week for me and others I guess. .. Most of my machines are still waiting to feedback data to 171.64.122.120 which is still down god damit!
I've had one completed WU uploaded since Sunday

I'm not a happy bunny as BigDom is now breaking away.
