    Anyone is free to join the gauntlet at any time before it ends.
    If You join after May 1st, a baseline will be take at the first update after the post in which you join.
    Splitting the Gauntlet into weeks gives even 11th hour gauntleteers an interesting challenge.

    Don't worry guys! The rear is secure!

    I'm still thinking my machines aren't running at par, because they are all taking over 24 hours and in some cases 60 hours to complete a WU. I did however watch one of the Cellies complete a WU about 5 hours ago, but isn't in the stats yet? Maybe it's MIA?! We should send a scout group out for it.

    Oh yeah and that 68 hour WU is on the AMD Athalon clocked to 1.6ghz with 512mb DDR ram. Is it the WU or the machine?!


    ***EDIT***

    magnav0x has contributed work units with more than one different team number. The contributions are listed below.

    Aw, well, I swore I wasn't gonna have any more of this, but, (sigh)...

    Sure, IB, sign me up for a nickel's worth.

    (That's two scoops, right?)

    I wouldn't think it takes that long... mine don't at the same clock speed. What protein? using -advmethods with that one?

    IB, I'm not exactly sure what's the deal with the Athalon XP. As long as I baby sit and restart the client every few hours it'll run normal, if I let it sit any longer F@H slows to a crawl and takes twice as long to complete Guess I'll be full time babysitter this May

    Also I never could figure out how one of my WU's got submitted without a team affiliation. I triple checked the 4 F@H machines and they were all fine.

    Dyyryath

    Here is something from the Hardforum for you
    Majic:
    ok the whole point was to call out someone!

    ok im calling someone out

    Zippy101

    and

    Dyyryath

    we all seem to have the same production. this is all i got so you now know what you need to take me. the question is can you? Zippy101 you seem to be holding me off so far. Dyyryath has seemed to slowed or stopped production. I hope you are still out there. And hey if you both stomp me cool but dont think i will just roll over and die. lol
    enjoy and gl!

    Condor has charged into the lead in the gauntlet.

    MidnightFreak[H] in 2nd place is wavering, soon to be overrun by srage2k2 and our own IronBits.

    IronBits may need to watch his (targeted) rear for an attack from pageian [H].

    Angus has worked through many of the [H]orde, and is now focused on whilden (ars) for 6th place , while also achieving ORANGE-ness


    All great fun


    Beyond is not having fun, with client issues. Hope that gets resolved soon!!


    DarknessProductions, magnavox, Supp, and Paratima are toiling away further down the charts, after some slow starts. Let's pick a target, guys, and go for it!


    And , Dyyryath still holding up the rear.

    IronBits: Don't want to put a damper on anyone else's fun, but I've got to bail! This client takes a fairly gutsy machine to make any difference, and I've only got a couple available right now. Just two boxen on F@H is like watching paint dry! Plus, I'm committed to beta-testing on a couple of other projects, and, well, I'm outa machines!

    (LOVE the new smilies!)
    Catch ya next go-round.

    No problem pal, I understand. This is a tougher client than I thought it would be.
    After all, they have been working on it for like 3 years, and they still don't have it right.
    So far, I've been pretty lucky compared to others.
    I'll slug it out until I get bored, or until DFbeta goes live I guess.
    Besides, I can keep Condor company and give Angus something to look at.
    What else could a guy ask for eh?
