We need some more boxen guys and gals

[Fozzie]

Whilst we currently have 4 out of 10 of the top ten producers today, them there Cows just have too many hooves a thundering.

Ergo we need a few more bodies to offset their number.

So, if you have a spare box or 20 pop 'em on DF at least until we thoroughly demoralise the Cows, and they capitulate.

:help: :rotfl:

We will fold on the land, we will fold on the see and we will fold in the air. We shall fold in de streets and the fields.

We shall never surrender !!

:D

[Moogie]

Got a new box almost put together (XP2400...), have another on the way (in the next couple of days)...I'll do what I can but it's not much.

:)

[Bok]

Due to time and this damn heat I hadn't converted my boxen over.

I've just put 4 of my boxes at work here onto it. I'll do a couple of others and then try and get some of the home farm running on it tonight :)

Bok :cheers:

[Fozzie]

These gens seem to be slow?

So every GHZ counts

[FoBoT]

i think the 30,000 structure zero generation is having a noticable effect on points

[IronBits]

The HOUNDS and everything I have at home are all over this one :D

:cheers: TeeJay :cheers:
Whoops!!! What's that over on OGR I smell???? :rotfl:

[Thor]

Borged my broters 2.66Ghz P4 for today and tomorrow:D

So that doubles my power:jester:

Greets Thor

[MerePeer]

It sure seems slow.

[magnav0x]

How are the CASP6 updates going? I can throw what I have on FAD (6 boxen) here but I don't want to have to babysit them. It's not that big of a deal, only two of the boxes would be a pain the update, but I'd prefer to not have to worry about manually updating everything every week.

[rel279]

Would like to say rehi too all....went and spent some time on boinc after all the server problems here...and ran into more of a mess there :bonk:


So a big hi to fozzie .... and special hi to Moogie:cheers:

Just put 3 boxes on ..... slow but sure :whip:

:cheers:

[Thor]

@ maganavox
I have only one box, but the autoupdate worked fine this time. It started a little after the time when the new download was available, but it worked:)
and alll with W2K and text client...

[magnav0x]

Ok, well I thew on 5.4ghz and I'll throw another 1.5ghz on in about an hour. I have another 6ghz I could throw on but they are all low memory machines and I don't know how much they would even be able to contribute without the -rt switch, so I may leave them on FAD (two 2.4ghz cellies and a AMD XP 1800).

[FoBoT]

we seem to be matching the cows at the moment, i wonder why

[magnav0x]

Probably guru :D

[Moogie]

The updates were good for me, but then, we seemed to have a power outage at home today which won't help my numbers any. To top it off, I'm having trouble getting one of my boxen to start up now.

Heya rel...it's good to see you here. :kiss:

[Bok]

added a few boxen at home :p

They are all churning through their gen 0's just now.

Bok :D

[Moogie]

Yay Bok!!!!!!

:cheers:

[magnav0x]

Okay, okay....if I'm going in at all I might as well put it all on there. The 13ghz or so I had on FAD is now on DF. Hope it helps in the battle against the beef.

[Moogie]

mags...you are awesome! :)

[Paratima]

Get a looky @ our man guru!! He's thumpin' out the proteins left & right. :drums: Good show, dude!

[prokaryote]

I'll toss a couple of boxen onto the fire. I hope I have better luck with this go 'round than the last time I ran DF:bang: (Here's hoping).:confused: ;) :)

Since DHEP seems to be having server issues, I'll try to port over those systems that have crashed on DHEP over to DF.

prok

P.S. This is not a good omen. Already, I'm running into problems trying to download the client!!!:bang::bang: :bang: :swear:

[willy1]

I got everything and mum's sink on DF now.

The autoupdate seems to have gone perfectly for me - 20-odd Winders boxen all updated without intervention.

[MerePeer]

Lost power for 4 hours but back now. One system couldnt recover and must begin the 30000 mile trek all over. Sadly, after 24hours it was almost done with its first 30K when the thunderstorm rolled through. :cry:

[Moogie]

Mere...I feel your pain. Same thing happened with mine. I think your thunderstorm headed towards my way when it was done with you. Or maybe it was the other way around. :)

[Fozzie]

waiting until after the weekend to start the harvest.

Expect some :dump: on Monday.

[Moogie]

Fozzie...thanks for the warning. I'll make sure to have the air freshener ready. :D

[IronBits]

Get Dyyryath ! :thumbs: :D

[Fozzie]

the old goat doesn't seem to have any fight in him.

It will be but a minor bump in the road to Devzero. :beep:

[Paratima]

FOZZIE! Don't wait till the last minute!! You know what can happen. :scared:

And according to the accumulated wisdom of Dave Barry: "Never, ever take a sleeping pill and a laxative at the same time!"

[Moogie]

I wouldn't worry to much Paratima. Fozzie has it under control. After all, he told us that Dyyryath was an OLD GOAT and all. I'm sure he has nothing to fear :D

/me wonders if this will wake Dyy up.

[Welnic]

My production is going to drop off over the weekend as my company is moving. It should be back up next week some time. :sleepy:

[Moogie]

Good luck on the move!!

:cheers:

[Welnic]

For any of you DPC that are lurking out there, Erik Dekker is up 7:28 with 77 kilometers to go in stage 7 of the Tour de France, and I'm rooting for him. :cheers:

[Jkusuda]

Once I've reached a short term UD goal, I'm going to join the gauntlet and throw all my machines in to keep the cows at bay. Not sure what my farm is capable of in DF but we'll see soon.

Now, the question is which gauntlet team to join? Bribes accepted!!!! :D :jester:

[Fozzie]

hog snog.:D

[Jkusuda]

:rotfl:

Does that count for you or against you?

[PCZ]

Jkusuda

Glad you have decided to join the battle against the DPC.:cheers:
If you need any advice dont be afraid to ask.

[Fozzie]

just won't want anything else.

Well that's what it says ion her door anyway. :D

Come on over to the Imperials matey we need some extra firepower to catch the Colonial hordes.

We need a couple more too., that's unless you got 30-40 GHZ in your pocket.

[Jkusuda]

Foz,

I've got somewhere in that neighborhood. I don't know if I can join the Imperials though. UK is a long ways from my Sunny CA home.

[Bok]

I'm an Imperial though living in the US, so there is a precedent........ :D

Bok

[Fozzie]

I'm getting some testy PMs off him.

Just pop him in, I'm sure he'll sort out s new password, he says he's got Dyy working on it as I type.

So that's Magnavox, Jkusuda and Beth onto Imperials.

:cheers:

[magnav0x]

forgot his password but he can still send you pms?
lol

[Jkusuda]

Foz,

Is that hopeful wishing or subliminal messaging by already throwing my units on the Imperials? :cheers:

[ronbo54]

Hey! Keep your bear paws off the colonials! :fozzie:

[Bok]

He's just trying to confuse me into changing them :p

Gotta be careful, it might work :crazy:

Bok

[Fozzie]

San Diego Cambridge, that's a nice part of the UK.

That's says Imperials to me.

There you go Bok sign him up , and get that Magnavox sorted too.

My evil plan to get Beth seems to have run into the Scooby Gang.

[ronbo54]

Sending my daughter out that way in a couple weeks (LA) so it's definitely colonial.:D

[Bok]

Already done the Illustrious Imperialistic Mag, he'll move up in status on the next update.. :p

We'll wait in Jkusuda a bit longer. Can't add him anyway until he has a DF account set up :)

Bok :rotfl:

[ronbo54]

Instead of raiding the colonials why don't you go out and recruit some more firepower of your own :machgun: :fozzie:

Wouldn't mind it a bit if you could add ktr or lemonsqzz to your side:Pokes:

:rotfl:

[magnav0x]

Already done the Illustrious Imperialistic Mag, he'll move up in status on the next update..

I feel so violated.....

[Thor]

Maybe we imperials should ask MrMr from the Cows :rotfl:

He is definitly an imperial as a dutchman!

so go ahead Bok add him to the evil empire!:Pokes:

That would be fun having a mixed FreeDC/Cows gauntlet...:crazy:

[Jkusuda]

Is there a way to buffer workunits in DF? I wasn't sure if there was a way to queue them up just in case of server failure. I've downloaded dfGUI.

[Paratima]

In case of server failure, they will buffer up automatically. :)

When the server becomes available, the load automatically, also.

[Bok]

There aren't workunits as such,you just start from a basline and it calculates results from there. So if you are offline for any reason, it will continue to buffer it's own generated results quite happily.

Other tips :

On windows make sure you have the client hidden as it takes up some resource. It's an option on dfGUI.

Use the extra ram check if you have 256 or more in the machine.

Welcome on board!!!

Bok :cheers:

[Fozzie]

you have all the WUs you need. The first gen generates a start point from which the next 250 progress. Once that is finished the client generates another without the need to connect to the server.

No WUs to download just results to upload as they are generated.

You need to edit the foldit.bat batch file and add -rt -qt and -if if you fold offline and dump (like me) or -it if you have a direct or proxied Internet connection. DFGUI will change all these switches for you I beleive by checking boxes.

[Jkusuda]

6 machines switched over at this point. Have to work on the rest of the farm. Will be over in the next couple of days.

[Fozzie]

you are Imperial I take it. :Pokes:

[ronbo54]

Welcome to the colonials!!!:cheers: :rotfl:

[ronbo54]

Foozie - you already tilted the balance the other way by raiding 3 of ours :bang:

Time to even things up again:thumbs:

Besides, we need some more help finishing IB's Muppet RK Stew :fozzie: :elephant:

[Moogie]

Wow..this update went really smooth for me. Now, if I could just get those points higher. :D

[Jkusuda]

11 machines switched now. Have a few others to do and some I won't be able to do for a few days. Hoping my output helps us stay in front of the cows!!!

[Moogie]

Why hon? Come sit on my :sofa: and tell me why you have issues with :fozzie: of the imperialistic nature.

:D

[Jkusuda]

Bok and Fozzie,

Despite the most humorous of recruiting efforts, my colonial brethren have fallen behind in the gauntlet. I feel the need to support our troops and shore up the gap. Henceforth, make me a colonial!!!

:cheers:

[IronBits]

:stupid: :drink: :D

[Evilmoose]

Go colonials:elephant:
Its good to see yor more active on the forums Jkusuda:cheers:
Nice work on the grid:thumbs:

[Bok]

James,

I'll add you in as soon as you appear on the DF stats as I need your ID which is generated by DF. You have joined the Free-DC team right ?

I do see one new user on the homepage (my stats haven't updated yet) but the user is listed as None with Organization = SDC....

Look forward to watching you rise in the ranks with that amount of GHZ!!

Bok :cheers:

[Jkusuda]

Hey EM,

I get busy with work and all so usually only browse the forums. Every now and again I get some time to be more active. So many familiar faces over here as well. I'm looking at d20l and tsc after my foray into df so maybe I'll see you over there next.


Bok, I forgot to put in a username so that none is me. Seems like I'm off to a slow start but I'll be patient and see what I wake up to tomorrow morning.

[Bok]

Ok,

I'll add you in tomorrow morning. It needs to be in the 2nd day anyway for my stats to pick it up and it does a join between yesterday and today to get current day score :)

Bok :D
