Guys, the [H] really oughta keep its lead. How can we up the production and get moar folders for the [H]oarde?

This is beginning to worry me a lot! :mad: we shouldn't let them aussies take us without a fight!

So let's throw some ideas about!
 
Well we could start by getting back ~60 people we lost over the span that the boards were down. Then we could borg 2-3 universities. While are boards were down, a few of their major producers came back, and a few of their members got F@H running in Universities.

I think it would also help if we had a more friendly F@H site. Look at theirs OCAU Folding . Their websites shows tons of gauntlets, updates on new folders who are doing well, automated install scripts, help aticles, the Flogometer, Folding Boxes. I think if we could model any of that it would help us, or they will pound us into the ground. :(
 
How do i go about helping you guys fold? I got one 450mhz P3 that i could run 24/7 may not be alot but i want to help out. :)
 
I tried at my university, but I couldn't get any takers. And I'm not high enough up in chain of command to just b0rg them myself.

Everyone is worried that students will think they are being cheated out of cpu cycles blahblahblah...Everyone is too worried about politics and keeping their jobs around here.

But I b0rged my campus work computer, and we may get another p4 3.2 :D
that I will borg as soon as possible if the situation presents itself.

::doing what I can where I can::
 
Good to hear people are trying... to anyone who DOSENT know how to begin folding for the [H], it's real simple - head on over here and download the apropriate file. For the windows version there are three offers. From what I've heard the "no-nonsense" one is fastest. Simply Run the installer, ensure that you are folding for team number 33 ([H]ard OCP) and let her fly! If you read up about it, you may not be hesitant to put the program on your own working/gaming computer as well.

Anything helps, but judging by your signature, you've got more to give than a wimpy P3 450! You'd probably have to use 5 or 6 P3 450's to match the output of the computer in your sig. Join the fun!
:D

Every night? Hmm...we've still got some work to do on you. ;)

Don't worry, the sickness will take hold. Patience is in order, he'll be farming in no time. ;)
 
I never ended up getting an answer either way from the people at my university about DC. I'll try again next school year.

I'm currently working at a hospital doing tech support and I'm looking at borging some machines but don't expect any miracles.

It would take at least 4 of my work computers (PIII 700) to equal the output of the system in my sig. I still run the work computer though. Every little bit helps. It also helps that I forget to turn it off every evening when I leave work too. :D

Yeah, that would help quite a bit. :)
Thanks.

you'd think they'd be a little easier to convince than the general population...

Yeah, but they're also a bit more uptight about programs on the PC as there are lots of laws about security in hospitals. But on the plus side, the medical focus might get me some support and many machines are on 24/7 because the hospital is running 24/7

I am getting a sales pitch ready to give my boss. He'll be gone until the 14th though, so until then nothing major is going to happen here.

This place could become a pretty big farm, not as big as my old one, but still big.
If I do borg machines here, they will likely produce for a long time as there machines are never re-imaged and never cleared off.
 
Good luck on that borg yogi..untended computers are the best kind.

Fold on

I will be building a second machine out of spare parts... will be a folding machine.. i will do my part.. :)
 
just got my p3 back up and running with a fresh linux install...I will try to get it folding if I can, but no promises. Space is at a premium, plus the heat is a factor...my room is already way warmer than the rest of this place, and as I am in an apartment, if it's mine, it's pretty much got to be in my room.

but I'll try.
 
Switching Athlons to Tinker WU's will probably be quite helpful as well...
 
I have mine running 24/7/365.

talking to all my friends and there going to get in on the action as well
 
Anyone asked about front page pimpage lately? Now that the forum's back and the web site's up, it seems like that's what we could use right about now.

From an Aussie: hehehehehe!!
 
Meh, I've been folding for genmay lately, but I just reformatted and when I reinstall the client, I'll fold for 33.

When I get around to it later tonight or tomorrow I'll switch over the other computers in the house to do this too.

Total of a little over 5ghz being added tonight by me. :)
 
Excellent, workingnonstop! Welcome back to the [H]orde! (although it's all good if you were already folding.) ;)
 
i am just got knocked out by the crazy heat in MN.

Today it was 92+ degrees, and its still 92+ at 9:00pm

so i can't fold any longer till it gets cooler, but i think its only gonna get hotter. I don't have ac so that sucks...
I barely even have my pc on anymore.

I am trying to get my 1.0Ghz AMD Duron folding, but I'm lazy. Also, I'm scared what it will do to my office where my Athlon64 AND an AthlonXP 2400+ are currently folding. It already gets hot enough in there, and the A/C has trouble cooling it down. Maybe if someone wants to loan me a portable air conditioner....

There's also electricity to consider - it's not free when you're paying for it ;) A/C+Phoenix Summer+hot computer = high electric bill.

Also, 300 dollars is alot of money to some people :D

heh i had a 9.59 electric bill last month. new 3.06 is on the way, should be here next week, and my roomate has 3 computers in his room that could be folding. we will have to have a little discussion when he comes home from his parent's house on sunday :D

if he says no, then its time for some super secret ninja folding!
 
Im still kinda weary...Ive tried folding before and it seems like it never worked right. It always screwed up or couldnt get the instruction to fold or something. Im kinda scared that its going to rob my CPU from the power I like...I dont like lag...

So reassure me guys! And if you wait til about August..I will have a Quad Xeon folding for us.
 
the F@H client is set to the lowest priority.

as soon as something else starts requesting resources, F@H gives them up, so there should be absolutely no lag problems
