Congrats David! Hopefully, I won't be too far behind in getting to the top 1k.

And ARM, I hope you noticed me waving as you zoomed past me! Good work guys!

Hi wgragg,

Thanks for the wave...I actually wanted to post a request to pass you but by the time I was going to get to it, it was too late.

But seriously guys, I have to applaude each and everyone of you for your efforts doing this. We stepped up the effort recently because of the MacOSx challenge but it does take a toll. I can imagine how your individual efforts are so incredible. Like I stated in previous post, 3K PPD is unrealistic for us. It is an anomaly, an exception, pure luck, and most of all, only due to a collective effort of not one single individual as with most of you do, but of several staff members here at ARM. Our effort is not for position in the team but simply to contribute to the team effort and ultimately to science.

I believe the key is, as haysdb said, the increasing number of active folders in the team. You guys have done a terrific job getting members to the fold...

Keep up the good work everyone.

Regards,

RoyM

Roy,

I hope it won't be too long before you guys can "relax" a little. I know, because I have talked to Stevo at some length, that you guys are in this for the long haul, and you know this is a marathon and not a sprint, but it's inspiring to know we can count on you for the extra effort when the team needs it most.

It's been a rugged few days, but we left MacOsx with smoke pouring out of their computers. If a computer had a tounge, theirs would be dragging on the ground. Extra thanks to:

TRC-13
Lockheed

bkh
miker
Zenthar
tragus
CharlieChan
Cosine
Tangled
Frank
Aphonos
David
MikeC (for booting up a few xtra folders)
Lenny
Stevo & Roy from the wine country
wgragg
Dukla
Sbabb
Rusty

And of course about 120 other SPCR folders that made a huge effort to hold off and pass that other team that seems to like our forum better than their own.

Special mention goes to MrRumble, dead last on our list. Hey, he's making an effort.

M, who is off to bed.

If you can't stand the heat, you better get out of the kitchen. From where I'm sitting 3K PPD (probably closer to 3.2 to 3.5K) is realistic for ME and the posse is gathering.

So you better sleep with one eye open (or at least checking the stats), because there's a storm brewing on the horizon and I'm afraid you just might be swept away!

Until next time. You've got to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em!

It's ironic, is it not, that no one has contributed more to our effort than has Mustang Mac?

haysdb · Post by **haysdb** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 1:19 am

Look for Frank_Condron to be back up to full speed on Monday, and MikeC's points are starting to register.

dasman is ORANGE and it looks to me like he plans on staying that way. He will be passing our bud' Mormakil tomorrow. Mormakil runs the anchor leg for Team Green

I am seeing a lot of YELLOW in the ranks of the up-and-comers tonight, or is that just my imagination?

NullObject - 85
captain_android - 102
sthayashi - 124
Ogre1384 - 147

And in yet another sign of health, page two looks like St Patrick's day with all the green I see there. Grokker, BMWBMW, Kemokim, papasmurf, knarf242, seantopia, nap_loaf, aston, mobquet, ArtCubed, TrekNW, and Mikael_Strand. And this is just our "page 2" folders. These 13 folders accounted for 8750 points in the last 7 days

, and many of them don't even have a full week in yet!

sthayashi · Post by **sthayashi** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 1:50 pm

Man, the captain has a farm sitting somewhere in his pocket. He turned on the afterburners with 400+ yesterday

. I don't know if I can catch up with those numbers he keeps putting out.

I think I'll just set my sights on easier targets in the top 100.

Heh, I shure could use a helping arm or two in my move up the rankings. I dunno about the top 100, my goal at the moment is more like the top 200. However I'll probably be able to get another computer online soon so that should boost my output a bit eve if ts only a celeron 900.

Dreaming of being green!

Michael_qrt "It ain't what you do... it's the way that you do it"

Green, yellow, purple, White, Lilac.. Colo(u)r don't matter

Adding to the points does.

Its a % thing.

If your doing 100% of what you can,... That's Damn cool

AND get's my vote for next Governer(

) of Wherever

Some do Lots... Some do Lots

i.e. We ALL do what we can.. and THAT's what matters.

Heh! ColdFlame wants more points to keep ahead of me and pass Semm. You've got to give us all equal or not at all!

Hmmm..

Here's a few sheep for each of you to donate to Rev VooDoo PeteAmer to boost your stats!

You guys got PC's at home? Switch them over to your own name. More users, better competiton, you have to deal with VOODOOO individualy(you probrably still think that stinkers were just tinkers)

Get on the board and BRING IT ON!!!!!!

Your not getting in the middle your getting in on the BOTTOM!!!!!

haysdb · Post by **haysdb** » Tue Mar 02, 2004 7:02 pm

Let's see

... STEVO, you take home the Quad XEON, the DUAL XEON, a P4 3.4 EE, and half of the farm and I'll take home a few of the P4 2.4 OC'ed to 3.14's and half of the farm.....(mmmm adding, subtracting, dividing, multiplying....) Hey STEVO, I think we'll be good for about 1200 PPD or more each.

That might still leave around 1K PPD for ARM....
We could be in the top 50 in 2 WEEKS, maybe top 20 in 5-6 WEEKS!
WOW!

STEVO will fold as STEVO_F@H_for_ARM_Systems_STEALTHPC

RoyM will fold as RoyM_F@H_for_ARM_Systems_STEALTHPC

What do u think, u ?

A 26K Day!

Time for SPCR to start thinking about Folding in the RED ZONE

Post by **MikeC** » Tue Mar 02, 2004 9:51 pm

Stebo, those icons are... hilarious

And 26K a day -- that is plain amazing. It wasn't long ago we cheered about reaching 10K!

peteamer · Post by **peteamer** » Wed Mar 03, 2004 12:57 am

unregistered,What on earth are you playing at

That was a very rousing, spiritual, uplifting piece of 'Sermonising'8)

Just what i need,

yet another pair to add to my 'gonna get passed by' list'

The list was plenty long enough thankyou.

Stevo, RoyM, Think your comps. at home should have individual names, family 'pet' names?

You just as well add more to the 'list'.

Like the Man said:

BRING IT ON !!!!

Let Battle commence!!

Let's see what your made of.

Best you start mixing some 'special brew' for those injectors

I'm off to get a new book of VooDoo today... just for you guys

CoolGav · Post by **CoolGav** » Wed Mar 03, 2004 1:09 am

I think the 26k was helped in part by my best ever "day" Extreme overclocking stats gave me 480, but I prefer the Arachnid 2004-03-02 03:00:00 to 2004-03-03 00:00:00 for me (because GMT is my time zone), which is 512.

Believe me, it was a real aligning of the planets thing - today isn't going to be so hot

haysdb · Post by **haysdb** » Wed Mar 03, 2004 9:08 am

"Page 2" continues to look extremely strong. FIVE Yellows (tomorrow it could be SIX!), 13 Greens, plus 25 others who have contributed points in the past week.

141 active members. That is outstanding!

David

aston · Post by **aston** » Wed Mar 03, 2004 11:54 am

Yeah, I actually have a handful of potential threats now! Page 2 is getting fun.

sbabb · Post by **sbabb** » Wed Mar 03, 2004 2:31 pm

My output took a nosedive while my ex- and my kids were on vacation for a week, but things seem to be picking back up. I may have to re-borg my ex's PC, though. I think she may have had to reload Windows.

ColdFlame · Post by **ColdFlame** » Wed Mar 03, 2004 8:11 pm

I've got a dual 2.2 Ghz Xeon that supports HT (generates 1-1.5k PPW) in my back pocket

Unfortunately it only supports offline folding

I used it a few weeks ago to give Semm a scare (closed up on him). I probably will start using it this week to get closer to Semm again.

Xeons are much more fun in your front pocket
