This Week's New Members

A great big warm welcome to the team!

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.
Got a Dual/Quad and not scared of getting stuck in to some SMP goodness? Check out SiriusB's excellent SMP Client Setup Guide and see if you have what it takes.


A really slow start to the week but it ended up better - hoping we can carry that through to next week and gain some ground on the competition once more.
Welcome to the new members and congrats to the tiffy winners!!! :)

Fold on Team 10!!!

If you've not been mentioned either I've made a mistake or your stats haven't changed since last week - give a shout and let us know you're still alive :o

***Only got one machine crunching? - Have a looky here***

I was waiting for my 1250000 tiffy, only to find that they don't do one :o
I got this instead :)

Thanks for the news rich, appreciated as always.

I think the reason why my production is down over the last few weeks is my borged machines at work were turned off while I was away on holiday - thats now changed so I should be above 100k again soon!

Fold on team 10.
 
Thanks Rich, good job as always...:)

It looks like I'm going to join the 7 digit club sometime in the next day or so - woohoo!!

:D:D:D
 
some nice tiffy's this week so well done all.

Thanks for the news rich, the team graph is really starting to look up - as you said lets hope that follow through into next week :D

Keep em cruching

S
 
Thanks, as always. Fingers crossed for the recovery. :)

I think I'll probably make a final push to get to 4mil and then consider my future. I really don't have the inclination to spend time working with unstable SMP clients any more so may go all-Rosetta, or just quietly put my crunchers into semi-retirement. I won't go away completely as my two fastest PCs are always on anyway.

I'm also not far off my 10-year anniversary, which isn't a bad innings really.

This is the first time i've ever seen so many (16) OcUK team members over 6000 ppd. Things are looking up.

Do we not have any i7 or phenom II crunchers yet?

Which clients are you using these days? I've found mine are a whole lot better since I switched my Ubuntu SMPs from VMWare 1.x to 2.0, though they do very occasionally finish a WU then forget to carry on - would be a problem if it wasn't the PC I use everyday.

10 years isn't a bad innings at all - glad that we'll not be seeing the back of you anytime soon either. Think I first got into DC at the end of 2001 with SETI so I have a while to go yet :p
 
I agree with Rich - the VMs are a bit of a pain if you turn off your pc a lot, but the smp clients have been almost problem free (as far as i can remeber, only one WU failed to upload, but this was fixable). Maybe you could try switching from windows to linux? Its not hard to configure - i would say its probably easier then the winSMP client, and a lot more stable.

In other news, we've been stomped again.... with XS very close behind. I think forum wide recruitment is in order!

Think mine was more down to Vista not wanting to play nice with it - also the USB stick I was using for ReadyBoost seemed to go bad around that time so that could have been it - all been fine since then though :)

edit: Sorry had to dispel any rumours that I might be in the habit of turning my PC *** regularly :D
 
Lol - i wondered what was going on for a minute - was shure i had not used any stupid slang/bad words! I did not wish to insult any crunchers by implying that you may turn off your machines. :D I obviously just cant keep pace...
