Oh, don't worry... you didn't hustle me. I hustled myself.

I just had higher hopes for my hardware than it cranked out. I've had a couple of boxes with problems over the last week or two that have dropped my averages down but I've about got them going full steam again. We'll see what happens but it will take more than a little effort to get on your threat list.

wgragg has slipped past Lockheed into the #4 spot. mas92264 will pass him (Lockheed) and take over #5 in just a couple of days.

Zyzzyx has overtaken Mike_Chin and the #16 spot.

WarpedPlatter will be joining the 50K club within the next 24 hours.

genetomcat is into the Top 50 at #49.

Ayup yup. That I have. Feels wrong to be passing Mike though. Anyway, recovering from some temporary issues with work systems, and might be adding a couple new ones. I had dropped off the top 20 list, but should be solidly back on there now, and for awhile yet.

Definitely. I felt the same way about passing MikeC.

You are 19th highest producer, but another 35 PPD would put you up to #17 behind DonP, another "old timer" who is back amongst the upper echelons of the folding elite.

finally

it took a while to get there. As i move up the ranks, it takes longer and longer to pass someone. All my 5 machines are hard at work.

Copper is up 22 today to #237

burcakb · Post by **burcakb** » Sun May 16, 2004 1:42 am

Hehe, I had to borg 3 PCs at work to keep up to Sync (the guy looked 4 days out on my threats list, then 20 hours later he was AHEAD) That sync slowed down on the postings did help me catch up.

Come on Sync, my man, folding is fun when you've got somebody on the run, and I'm running, running,...

COME ON EVERYBODY !!!! TIME TO KNIT THE NITS & CATCH EOC !!!

ColdFlame · Post by **ColdFlame** » Mon May 17, 2004 4:45 pm

Allright, I passed CoolGav for the second time Yay! but I fear that DonP is going to catch up quick

And CoolGav has showed once that he is capable of taking his spot back so I'm all alert

DonP · Post by **DonP** » Mon May 17, 2004 4:57 pm

I'm back baby! yeah!

but I'm not doing as well as I hoped - one of my targets was Zyzzyx, but he's starting to accelerate away.. and hot on my heels is BMWBMW.
I'm not sure what I else I could borg

If only there were a Solaris client

I still have a few people I would really like to overtake though.. and I'll be gloating here as soon as I do. If YOU (and I mean YOU, not ColdFlame, YOU) think you're a target, well then maybe you should increase production, because I'm coming after YOU.

Disclaimer: If you have been previously diagnosed as paranoid then maybe you shouldn't read this mail

Neener.

When you mentioned that a bit ago, I thought I'd be on your 'list' as I remember you making a comment when I passed you long ago. I just recently had some more systems at work made available, thus my recent burst.

haysdb · Post by **haysdb** » Mon May 17, 2004 11:29 pm

As expected, wgragg is now #3

TRC-13 has surpassed 400,000 points

mond has turned teal following 4 excellent days where he has averaged 210 points per day

Hao_Dong has turned teal, and may be on his way to blue

Mr_Pickles is teal

Copper · Post by **Copper** » Tue May 18, 2004 4:33 am

Hao_Dong just blew past me!!!

CoolGav · Post by **CoolGav** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:13 am

Don, you're gonna pass me so very soon on your way up the SPCR charts... The weather has not been kind recently. Fold on dude!

ColdFlame, it's getting warm here, and I can't keep boxes on all the time. My efforts to get my P4 stable undervolted aren't working very well either. Then my Duron deosn't like being too hot (I tried turning the 7000A's fan speed way down, and I get loads of errors).

Plus, I've gone teal over at GLUE as thier #12 folder, so I'm not going to be cathcing anyone up ahead very fast

Keep on folding guy's!

Tell me about the heat - I'm hitting 60C (usually 50C) on a P4 2.26B - had to switch it off today while I was at work

luckily the majority of my folders are at work and mostly ACed.

dasman · Post by **dasman** » Tue May 18, 2004 7:01 pm

D_Bailey welcome to the top 20! I'm gonna try an keep pace until #15, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

Fold on!

DonP · Post by **DonP** » Tue May 18, 2004 7:10 pm

Prolly should be private messaging this but..
ARM Systems - it looks like you have two F@H clients misconfigured - you got your name wrong and are folding under two names:
ARM_Systems:_Home_of_the_StealthPC and ARM_Systems;_Home_of_the_StealthPC
(i.e. colon vs semi-colon). To confirm this search for "starts with" ARM_Systems

They know. Originally it was a mistake, which they corrected. But then we were on a mission to reach 50% active/total folders, so they put one machine back to folding under the wrong name in order to keep that user "active". Guess they have never changed it back, and I doubt they will.

And now you know....the REST of the story.

Putz · Post by **Putz** » Tue May 18, 2004 9:26 pm

heheh For a while (when I had only one active folder), it was my personal goal to stay ahead of that ARM_Systems;* "user". Then I could keep bragging to myself about beating ARM Systems!

I know, I am a pathetic individual...

haysdb · Post by **haysdb** » Wed May 19, 2004 10:13 pm

Looks like mas92264 is going to slip past ARM Systems in a few days to overtake the #4 spot

Hortalonus is up 3 today, and 7 for the week, to #59

burcakb is up 32 for the week, to #141

Copper and Hao_Dong are heading up the charts together. Copper at #196, Hao_Dong at #199.

toonz is up 13 today, to #215

mortinal #102, zuperdee #104, bill_amer #111, and Michael_qrt #120 are all climbing steadily toward the Top 100. Looks like zuperdee may be the first of this group to make it there, in about 5 days.

TRC-13 is now #90 in Project Rank

dasman and D_Bailey race to #15

It's not looking good for dasman, but it should be fun to watch. At this point, even a small shift in the daily averages could change the overtake dates by quite a lot.

As it stands at the moment, D_Bailey will overtake dasman in 36 days, just 2 days before dasman overtakes Cosine and just 4 days before he overtakes Lenny for the #15 spot.

Putz, that's actually one reason they have kept that account active.

Yep, it doesn't look good right now -- maybe I can get rid of a couple of 128pt tinkers today and get some real proteins. But then, I'm sure Douglas is getting them too...

Still got a box down, but it isn't worth all that much (maybe 3-400ppw). Hopefully it will come back today or tomorrow.

Dave

Douglas Bailey · Post by **Douglas Bailey** » Thu May 20, 2004 8:49 am

Oh look - the new Speeze HSF finally showed up for that box of parts sitting in the corner.

dasman.. I think you better get your 400ppw machine back up and runninggggggggg. This is going to be a wild run to 15!

dasman · Post by **dasman** » Thu May 20, 2004 9:11 am

A HSF was keeping you from putting a parts machine together? Wow, I'd have lived with a loud HSF while I waited on the quiet one...

But then, I need the points more than you

ColdFlame · Post by **ColdFlame** » Thu May 20, 2004 1:27 pm

It is going to get REAL HOT in WA state REAL SOON and since we don't have A/C guess what - Mr. Bailey will overheat and go down in flames! HAHAHA!!!

j/k

burcakb · Post by **burcakb** » Fri May 21, 2004 12:42 pm

Somebody wake up Sync. He was doing very nicely for a while...

Actually, I'd rather stay ahead by me increasing production (doubtful) than any decrease on his part, but then I suppose I could use all the help I can get -- Pete, got any more sheep you can toss around?

Damn - I'm never gonna catch you now - I wonder if there is a version of Linux that'll run on lightbulbs and car stereos?? Lightbulbs don't have a MMU but there's uCLinux (?) which doesn't require a MMU.
If I could just get it to work then I could borg most of the lightbulbs in my house!
Then I'd be getting 1000ppd out of each of my chandeliers!!
Oh wait - I don't think lightbulbs have CPUs - damn!

Seriously though - congrats.

PS No, I don;t have any chandeliers.

Way to go Zyzzyx, looks like I'm still not going to catch you

Fold on O Mighty Brother.
