These both expire on September 28. They both just redirect to the main DC forum. The hard-dc.com URL shows up on the 5 or so t-shirts that were purchased, which is not enough of a reason to renew them in my opinion. So, if anyone wants to register either or both of them to avoid expiration...
As I said, that was from the original version i just copied from your forum post and not the higher resolution one. Might that be the problem? The teespring ones were from the latest file.
These are all from vistaprint, NOT teespring.
Shirt:
h
Mousepad:
The gradient looks better on the mousepad, but they both look pretty nice. This was even with a lower-quality graphic than I used for the teespring shirt, so I expect them to look even better. This is the higher quality...
Just a reminder that this is the last day you can order a t-shirt from the pilot campaign on teespring - https://teespring.com/hard-dc-shirts.
Assuming the shirt look good, I will re-run this campaign after Christmas - so this isn't the final chance. But if you want a shirt before Christmas...
No idea - I can tell you what the one order I placed cost, but I have no idea beyond that. I suspect that the $5.99 is a flat rate up to some quantity of merchandise, but that is a guess.
Well, teespring is kinda funky, but I think it will work. You set up campaigns, which last for from 3 days to a couple weeks. At the end of the campaign, the items go to print and ship. So you receive your items 10-14 days after the campaign ends, and not immediately after you order. I think...
I was messing around with mullet's high-res version - which looks awesome, by the way - at teespring, which may be a better option for this since we can do more shirt colors, along with tanks, hoodies, long sleeve t's, and a few other things. Plus, I can actually set up a "store" easily there...
Let's wait and see how these turn out before we start ordering more. I placed an order yesterday for a black shirt and a white mousepad. According to my brother, who has ordered apparel from Vistaprint before, I should have my items early next week even with the cheapest shipping option. FYI...
Well, you would think it would be easy to share the design, but I am not seeing it. I ordered a shirt + a mouse pad, but I do not see any way to share either. Stay tuned...
White was $14 and black was $21 for one, plus a health discount for a first-time order ended up being something like $16.80 for a black one (didn't go that far with the white one.) That was the better/more expensive of the two t-shirt options. It was also way less a couple days ago - some sort...
Apparently Vistaprint doesn't care about number of colors. They do charge $7 additional for a black shirt though - although I like it much better. We could also put something on the back for another $5...
As I understand it, we would need a circle R for each of the [H]'s in LIVE [H]ARD, CRUNCH [H]ARD as well - or get rid of the brackets like mullet originally had it. I personally vote to get rid of all of the bracket H's at this point and don't use anything trademarked to HardOCP.
Nathan, I...
It will go on a t-shirt initially. Solid red would work on black or white or several other colors. I was thinking full front or breast pocket, so being able to scale would be good - plus it would let us use it on other stuff if we wanted to.
The more stylized version you have now could be...
My last one used Arial Black for the [H]ard|OCP and web address, and Forte for "Team" and "Distributed Computing", with everything bold if memory serves. I am actually stuck at needing high resolution fonts - Word just doesn't cut it with t-shirt graphics-sized fonts.
I also like the [H]|DC...

I PM'ed Kyle for a more official Hard|OCP graphic to use, but this is my idea for the front anyway.
This takes so long because no one wants to own the process of getting it done, including me. If you would like to take this over...
The sticking point is getting the actual Hard|OCP logo and permission to use it - which has been the sticking point for 3+ years.
September 28:
Still nothing.
Hey old timer! Welcome back!
In case you actually didn't know, Grandma is a tribute to Grandpa's wife, who passed away earlier this year - many of us pointed our machines to that user in her honor.
I don't think I would break out the 4p just yet...for F@H anyway. It still will be outproduced...
You secret is safe with me.... :)
One of these days, I need to revamp the Ubuntu install guide for an Ubuntu version newer than 12.04. I actually have a board ready to go, so maybe that will be a weekend project - at least the install and setup part. Windows 10 auto-update got me again this...
The original 4p OS guides we have were based around Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I think I was running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS when I shut everything down years ago. If it were me and I ignored what I have been hearing around here lately, I'd go with the latest LTS Ubuntu version (16.04?), only because you will...
You would need to access your external IP address somehow, and then forward port 3389 in your router to the machine you want to connect to. No-IP with a dynamic DNS client will give you a static domain name to point a remote RDC client to.
That is the connection, but how do you interact with the F@H client/machine? I assume some flavor of VNC, which works fine with GPU folding. RDC is what screws things up, and was what I am using for the actual connection and remote access to one of my VMs and is typically what people running...
It took me like 2 minutes to set up Teamviewer from scratch - so you can't space 10 minutes between now and Friday morning? Bring the portable client with you on a USB drive and you could connect to all of your PCs from any PC with an Internet connection not blocking Teamviewer.
While a get 16...
Why not set up remote access to them? I believe as long as you use VNC or Team Viewer or LogMeIn if you don't mind paying, you won't mess up the GPU drivers like RDC does. If they are Linux, i used to use NX way back when for remote access to GPU folders - that may still work, but I have been...
Oh, if I would have only paid attention. Apparently, when Windows reboots, F@H still runs at the login screen, but without the GPU. That is why I went from the 104K - 172K i was doing the rest of the week to ~5K yesterday. I think it is time to switch over to Linux - the only thing I do with...
As far as I am concerned, our "official" recommendation now is WCG for CPUs and F@H for GPUs. I don't think we can ever be as diverse as you like to be and still be a team pushing towards a goal. So, is F@H + WCG a good-enough compromise for you, Mr. Commando?
Or, we could start over on a saying/motto/whatever you want to call it. These two are just ones that have been around for quite literally decades. I am not in love with either of them, and your points are exactly correct. Unfortunately, about anything containing "[H]ard" could be...
Graphic Design
I have some ideas. i would like the actual [H]ard|OCP graphic to use in the logo - something like this on the front pocket area, centered up with some different font for Team:
Team
[H]ard|OCP
Distributed Computing
www.hard-dc.com
If I have the right font, I'd like to do...
Booze-infused candy - that sound like something we would do here in the states, being the fat drunks that we are.... :p
I'm still trying to decide if that is insane, disgusting, or brilliant... :)
