Ars bashing...so to speak

[Fozzie]

So is everyone gearing up for this then?

I hear some talk about No.1 but I think just some Arsian stompage should prove a wiser target.

So what's the deal, we kicking Ars??

[Bok]

That is a worthy goal....and a lot more realistic than #1.

but we need some more numbers in order to have the goal not too far ahead.. I'm switching my boxen over to D2OL probably tomorrow (100K in TSC).

Bok :D

[em99010pepe]

Probably FreeDC_AMD_Team will be created to help you guys. Just waiting.....

*****EDIT*****

I don't know if there's a lot of guys with only one computer, if so then is better to join forces than crunching alone.

[Digital Parasite]

Hmmmm, is it time to release a new version of D2OL Daddy that secrely switches the node IDs to TFY on Ars? :smoking:

Just kidding. Bring it on! Its no fun unless there is some competition.

[Mustard]

I've also gotta agree that ARS stompage is a more realistic target. :) And count me in!!

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Hmm Stomping ARS ah nothing like it on a quiet sunday afternoon...
well except playing Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising and kicking the snot out of ARS cos we all had it ages before them and we KNOW all the sneaky tactics oh yeah it we ownz the server ;)

[PCZ]

I'm in as soon as DF is over.

Lets aim to kick ARS and see where we go from there :D

PS
We need to get Condor, FoBot and Beth133 to participate.
Then we would kick ARS !!

[Thor]

Well, somebody give them a hint and send them a mail:Pokes:


To unleash their crunching power!:scared:


Thor

[em99010pepe]

Added my AMD64 3200+ to the party.

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Man if FoBot, Beth & Condor brought even a third to a half of there power - can ya say *sniff*...

I was just trying to help.:blush:

[PCZ]

Carlos

I didn't mean to offend I was just trying to point out that we dont put pressure on anyone to do anything at Free-DC.

[StarDog]

I'm switching back over to D2OL. I'm up for taking over Ars...:D

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Fozzie - all i have to say now is .... wait for it... this is just Sick :p
Wakka Wakka Wakka, Stomp Stomp Stomp :rolleyes: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Chinasaur]

Have the use of a 1.6Ghz P4 for two months so I'm taking it.

More the merrier.

[PCZ]

Free-DC was the top scoring team yesterday :cheers:

[Digital Parasite]

<force power> There is no use trying to beat Ars, they are simply too strong. It is much better just to join them. You feel like joining Ars and switching your nodes to TFY right away. You feel happy about doing so. Don't forget your free death stick at the door. :smoking: </force power>

[IronBits]

Noooooo, it's those voices again. Make them stoppppppp! :D

[ronbo54]

Fortunately the voices in my head are louder than DP's voices :crazy:

[Loudergood]

Well, you guys are asking for it now..

:D

/me looks up his sleeves

Now where did I put that sekret weapon. ;)

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Okay Troops looks like we are gonna have to look out the weaponary again that we used to hold off the Moo'ers
I just wanna say this... We Came, We Saw, We Kicked Some Ass...
We were #1 in DF we will try our darnest to be #1 in D2oL too
soo peoples time to :spank: and :whip: those pups into shape, time to turn down the heating & stick the PSU outputs into the heating system again ;):smoking:

[StarDog]

Yikes!

I forgot about a bunch of borged CPUs at a remote site, I turned the proxy on and out came one massive :dump:

We're going to need more to pass Ars any time soon...

[Bok]

I noticed, you just keep moving further away from me!!!

But I believe PCZ is going to start running D2OL some time today. We are steadily catching them anyway :)

And I've got a small :dump: coming soon too.

Ok everybody, get off the road now!!!

The PCZ Road-train is coming through!:scared:

"Deploying now" sounds almost like a threat to me....

:D

D2OL FreeDC_AMD_Team is also slowly starting to make :dump:s. Seven so far...What a smell!

Carlos

[FoBoT]

i will be doing D2OL on a limited basis, but the client software does not fit my needs in many ways

currently my work lab has no internet connectivity, so any project without a simple way to proxy or sneakernet is not an option (any manual ways don't cut it with 50+ boxen)

[em99010pepe]

It is possible to sneak-internet at D2OL.
Just read this text written by one of D2OL moderators:


Hi and welcome. This is a very easy thing to do so follow along.

After you made a temporary installation of D2OL on the machine that has internet access, download the number of tasks you want to crunch. Make sure the agent is offline during this so you are not actually crunching anything during this process as we want all of these tasks for your other machine.

When done find the SengentD2OL/D2OL folder. You will want to copy out the entire /res/ folder to a CD, flash drive or whatnot. 2,000 tasks should be about 10MB. Now start back up that temp install of D2OL, turn off the agent so it is again not crunching, go into the status menu and flush all of the tasks. This will delete all of the tasks you just downloaded but that’s ok because you have already saved them somewhere else.

Now on the machine that does not have Internet access, just browse to the SengentD2OL/D2OL folder and move the previously saved /res/ folder on top of the one in this machine. This will overwrite the current /res/ folder with one with all of your tasks.

When the tasks are done, which may be weeks depending on your cpu speed and how many tasks you downloaded, just turn off D2OL and find the resultQueue.dat file in the SengentD2OL/D2OL/res/ folder. This is your result file. Cut/move this file to your portable medium and stick in the same folder on your machine with Internet access. Start up the client on the Internet machine and let it upload the results and download new tasks.

This may look like its hard and takes a lot of time, but is really not. Once you have downloaded the tasks you want, it is really only a two minute job.

Hope this helps a bit. Feel free to ask any more questions, that’s what I am here for.

Any doubts?

Evilmoose was getting too close to PCZ

As for "Deploying now" sounding almost like a threat

:sleepy:

:Pokes: :Pokes: :Pokes:

491K to Ars :elephant: :elephant:

[FoBoT]

that type of method isn't practical for 50+ PC's

it takes too much time

projects that really want to get no-netters to participate need to build a proxy system that is easy and seemless, posting ways to manually copy directories and such might be ok for someone with 1-2 PC's , but don't cut it for large farms. it is too much work, not worth it.

Yes it's true. 50:shocked:
I only have one offline machine so it is easy. Sometimes it is possible to make mistakes. I found I was crunching the same wu's in two different machines:bang: .

Carlos

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Erm Houston we got something on the scope, it's moving fast and we have no idea what it is...
hang on getting a closer look now....
Geesus would ya look at that...
Houston all we could get was that it was the PCZ express...
I moved out the way fast...:notworthy :thumbs: :thumbs:
sounds like PCZ express may just :stomp:
or of course PCZ could be nice and let me "borrow" a bit of power, I need to keep thor from doing the :stomp: on me....

Hey PCZ, why don't we have a little friendly competition within the team. It can be everyone vs you in two sub teams.

All you need to do is join team id 201 and the stats can be gathered for the sub team competition. What do you say? :thumbs:

Jeff.

[Bok]

:rotfl:

Nice try Jeff!!!

Bok :cheers:

[ronbo54]

Someday I'm going to have to learn to stop poking PCZ :Pokes:

Too Funny Jeff ! :jester:

Why don't you, kb9skw, and a few others just jump ship and join us here :cheers: :elephant:

[Bok]

In the latest update Condor has sent in a unit, could this be just the start........ if Condor also started hitting it hard then I think we could pass Ars in a month :)

Need to work on a graph showing team progress... tomorrow if I can get hit my deadline today.

Bok

:D

[Thor]

Yeah, and then it is going to be same story for me as it was in DF:bang:

Started crunching for FREE-DC and was 42nd in the Team...
Then there were all those express trains coming through and i ended up being 60 or 61 in the team:swear:

Now the same story...started D2OL am already at Top 19 and now people like PCZ and Condor start hitting it hard again... Other people (express trains too) will join...

And when D2OL ends someday I will be something like Top 50...same old story again...

But oh well it is all for Free-DC and D2OL :cheers: :rotfl:


Thor :D

messed up brain today...

I have the solutino for your Thor! If you just Ars TFY, you don't have to worry about that problem, you will definitely be highly ranked on the team. Join us and you won't want to look back!

Jeff.

[Thor]

NOPE!
No Way!

I will never join the dark side! :swear:

I'll always be a Free-DC Jedi!:D

So watch out or I will search more computers:spank:

If i only could get in contact with the admins at university....


Thor:smoking:

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

Nice try Jeff - Attempting to corrupt, convert and generally "borrow" DFCr's...
Hmm Nice Try... But We Fight on the side of light, not the darkside of ARS :D :rotfl:

You guys go ahead and bring it on. :thumbs:

@ Fozzie

Thats what I feared... and thats why I kept that Phrase to myself:D

Although I almost put it in that post...

@
em99010pepe

Maybe not a thousend, but I know enough PIV 2.4 desktops and at least two dozen new shuttles with lots of spare cycles...

Well, I'll find out who's the admin for those machines.. May take a while but I will, just to fight the dark side! :spank:


Thor:D

Edit:
When I look at last weeks stats, I see 40.000 candidates more for Free-Dc than for Team Ars technica...:Pokes:
And for today we are 4000 ahead of everybody...:Pokes: :Pokes: :Pokes: :Pokes:

Funny, I know where you live and work. Maybe I should take a daytrip to NIU and borge some boxes in TFYs name, or just change out some Node IDs. :eek: :D

What deparment are you in again? :cool:



O, I hope you guys got more in reserve. Your gonna need it soon. :|punch|:

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

:sniper: in the field, and dis sniper has an itchy trigger finger I wouldn't be going around "reborg" if I were you.. just ask someone what happened when I fired something at them... their farm went "abort" this is the power of the force...

[cporterfield]

why would we want to join Free DC??? why dont you guys just hop on over to TFY??? would be a much better idea... i like it better than me switching plus then Ars would have plenty of CPU Power :P

[ronbo54]

Sure kb9skw stop down about 4:30pm :thumbs:

I have this great lab next door with 88GHz :drums:

Of course, it would auto reboot and wipe everything out before it sent any work in

Some of my best drinking buddies are pink elephants :elephant:

Hay have you been to the new Fry's in Downers Grove? If only I could borge the store. :swear:

Working on 2 old farm houses/outbuildings and overgrown woodlands so haven't been anywhere lately...

Unless you count all the trips to Florida

[Thor]

I wish Fobot and beth133 could join the fun...

Does anybody if beth133 is active in any DC project at the moment? would be a shame to lose all that power...

by the way, if we can keep the speed and ars won't get faster, it is only ~1.5 monts till we hit 'em:D

ARS have responded.

Could Fozstradamus be wrong.:shocked: :scared:
