Make the you a we/us, teammate. Also unless you have a expressed desire to run the Tinker WU's which some do, please refer to the FAQ/Set-Up thread in this forum. It will significantly increase your point productionQuote:

Just gotta say this "TINKERS are stressfull" but the work is for a good cause and has to be done. But letting these computers run 24/7 for a couple of days just to get 1 wu done and sent stress's me sometimes.
Ah I am taking hits left and right :(
First I don't get any points for a completed WU due to some disk error. Then after completing a tinker on my friggin pII 450 machine it couldn't send it so it's in the queue and probably won't send it until it's done with another WU (maybe 5 days). I could of been in the 1000's by now. :mad:
The way I got one of mine in queue , sent in, instead of waiting was to click on quit and when you start it up again it should try to send in the results again, then continue with the WU it is working on now.Quote:

Just put the -send all flag in a FAH shortcut and see if you can send the WU now instead of waiting. :)
I don't think you need that flag. I've been running with the "- verbosity 9" flag recently, showing more info in the log file. Looks like every 6 hours the client attempts to send completed WU in the queueQuote:

Also, the servers at Stanford can get overloaded sometimes. I had a problem this morning receiving a new WU. My system had been trying for five hours through the night. Ended up getting one though.Quote:

I'm taking whatever they give me. Have the two rigs below running the beta with the advanced methods and SSE flags set. The other machines are running the straight 3.24 graphical mode.
I'd Love to help out with the folding team especially if it is for a worth while cause. Now, having said that,I'm ABSOLUTELY clueless. Do I have to leave a rig running 24/7?....etc etc......If there is a link someone has...or even just a basic explanation..I would be happy to try to help with the team

This flash is a good explanation of Folding too. LINK :)
Didn't know the research was applicable to AIDS as well. Nice. :)Quote:
I just have to rant, sorry. Folding is truly a good thing, and I really wish I knew more about the actual science behind it all and how it is truely applied. However, being a no one in a small town who doesn't really contribute much to society aside from the occasional volunteering at a food bank, I am glad I can do something for the big picture. I am fortuante enough to be able to afford the electricity bill, and have two rigs I can leave up 24/7. So I (we) do what I (we) can. We can't all be doctors and researchers. But it's awesome that we get this chance to contribute. I hope more and more people join, even if we have to bribe them with 'free' avatars, and friendly competition and such. We have all been touched by diseases such as cancer, and AIDS in some manner or another. And some of us will someday be fighting the battle on a personal level, so why not give up a little bit of the dough you manage to scrape out of life and really do something that will matter in the end.
BTW, I guess I am plateauing and the newcomers are all running more rigs than me, as I keep slipping in the ranks. No matter it's doing what I can that matters....
Ok I'll shut up now.:D
