Thanks for the help furby!

[Moogie]

Thanks furby!!!

:cheers:

[furballexpress]

woohoo! :cheers:


Actually, after DF, it's nice to be using all 24 hours a day of unused cycles to crunch.

I still haven't brought my other two boxen online just yet. One needs a mobo, the other is doing advanced lab work and stress testing. I'm debating whether i'll go DDR on the needed mobo or wait and use the PC150 SDRAM sitting around (650 MB or so of it).

Thanks folks, and I'm just glad to help out. I'm pretty sure you have more serious crunchers than me to thank with far more firepower who are engaged elsewhere, but thanks just the same. I'll see if I can get my other buddy to put this on his P4 at home. DF pissed him off enough that he didn't crunch much, but FaD seems pretty background rock-steady. We will see. :thumbs:

[Anteraan]

Furby, you're rocking! Your 192k points this week :scared: has helped us close the gap down to 46,500. You deserve your props. Congrats on making the F-DC top 5. :cheers:

[Paratima]

To which I add...
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. :D

[Anteraan]

Yea, I meant to say that myself. It's a good thing Mom doesn't read these boards. :crazy:

[Petey]

A Big Congrats Furby :|party|:

I nearly held on until the end of the month :rolleyes:

[Anteraan]

Nice :dump: though, Petey. That was beautiful. 4,432 points to go. Perhaps today will be the day that we celebrate -- and then continue on towards Rival DC Team (less than a million away, and not producing a whole lot right now).

I'm a greedy bass-turd, aren't I? :D

[furballexpress]

Thanks folks...just trying to contribute the best I can.

For now, this is likely the most deployed I'll be. Occasionally, I'll score another machine or two, but the rest of my boxen should be on all cylinders. Glad to be here, and GO FaDders!

UPDATE:

As of right now:
18 FreeDC 139109992
19 Christians 138933064

w00tage! :|party|: :elephant: :cheers: :bouncy:

Agreed 100% -- That's worth a little dance :banana: :elephant: :banana:
815k to 17th place, and that number will drop quickly at current production rates.
:moto:

[furballexpress]

Yeah...sorry about using GFlops instead of points, but I was so excited I forgot to change the 'rank by' stat. Either way, we've passed The Christians and are rapidly approaching Rival DC Team.

..would this be supplimental w00tage? :D

Yes it would :banana:, but looking down the road a bit, we're going to need to add some more firepower if we plan to rise beyond Rival DC-Team. It looks like it's time to recruit. Perhaps we can get FAD on the "gauntlet list". :D I'm thinking that, should we lose our #1 spot in DF, we could get a few boxen headed this way, especially since the Cows are coming towards us here as well. Some people might see it as a second chance to keep the Cows down, just a thought.

But for now, we rock, and #17 will soon be ours, MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

[Petey]

Magnav0x, Ronbo54 and JKUSUDA have already answered the call!!

Welcome aboard guys

:cheers:

[Anteraan]

That's beautiful, man -- simply beautiful. Even :taz: likes it.

[magnav0x]

I have about 3 machines running this offline at the moment. Not sure how much they got qued up (point wise) yet though. Got about 41 completed WU's waiting to upload.

[Petey]

Magnav0x: 41 completed jobs queued? I think you can safely assume that we will all notice when you upload these :thumbs:

[magnav0x]

I uploaded all 41 yesterday morning and I only got credit for maybe 9 of them :rolleyes:

[Paratima]

I believe that'll be fixed in a day or two. They seem to be having some stats problems (again). :rolleyes:

[magnav0x]

I sure hope so. I seem to have gotten points for one that I completed last night some time, but still nothing for all those other ones I uploaded yesterday morning.

[Paratima]

BTW, YGM.

[magnav0x]

Paratima, where is it :p

[magnav0x]

Hrm....here is a portion of the logs from one of my machines:

Member number is changing constantly. I believe that is where 20,000 to 30,000 of my points got lost :( In the setup screen it says my username and everything though, but has no connection information. I'm guessing maybe some how it didn't register with the server. :trash:

Well see, if you set your member number to 1007078, you wouldn't have that problem. Ok, now that that's fixed :p, I'm sorry to hear that you're losing points, and I hope it all gets sorted out in the end.

[magnav0x]

I uninstalled the client and reinstalled it and reregistered it. It should be ok in the future

I can only enter my username in the config-dialog (and automatically get a new member-number everytime I reinstall the client) ?

[Anteraan]

I'm not entirely sure you can, although one would think it would be in some file somewhere. That said, Windows can't find mine when I do a search on it.

[magnav0x]

There is a registry entry for FAD, but the data isn't plain text. It stores the member number and other info.

[furballexpress]

/me gooses 1 million, continues on.

we still got teams to catch!

[magnav0x]

congrats on the 1 million :thumbs: Still working on my first 100,000

Very nice, furballexpress. You rock!
Update: The gap to Rival DC-Team is now only 122,000. After that...Top Cats :taz:

[magnav0x]

Make that 60,301 to go :p

[Anteraan]

Goodness, mags - you've been quite the impact player yourself - nice dumpage! At this rate, you'll :lawn: me in just a couple weeks. Just make sure to leave some clippings behind, will ya? :D

[furballexpress]

Congrats on 100k, magnav0x! Follow me! (for now, that is) :D

Dig harder, boys & girls....seems the lead is back up to 100k. Somebody dump, oki? :Pokes:
