Unfortunately, my production sucks right now because I'm in the midst of a complex move, and most of my machines will be down intermittently for a few weeks. Once all is settled I should go red and stay there. :cool:
I'm not quitting but I think the tinkers are discouraging a lot of members. Normaly I'm at 12 - 1300 pts per week but allthough I added some extra MHz (again) I can stay barely above 1000 the last couple of weeks. Must have picked up at least 5 tinkers last week only. I've been folding for a while now (I have around 5000 pts for my former foldingteam as well) but this has never happened before. I just tell myself that tinkers will have to be done as well ;)
Luckely I'm not folding for the pts anymore. With seti I've sometimes wondered wether it was worth it but with proteinfolding that is not really a question. That's important because I would not be able to justify the powerusage for the 'race' only. First thing I hear, when I come back from work and open my front door, is the noise from the fans.
It's such a great excuse for leaving them all on 24 hours a day :D
About the production. When I joined it was relatively quiet but then XJ joined and about ten other relatively high production members followed. They are all in the top 30 right now. So what I'm trying to say is: it's been quiet before but there are a lot of members in this forum. Let's keep drawing their attention towards the folding team. We may see another productionwave. [/propaganda]
2March you are right, as far as I can see it happens to all the folding teams, I mean show me one team where they have a 100% of their members folding, some will come and go, but most will stay. We are still a young team and are still growing.
i've returned to folding! i took an extended break because for the past month i've been gone from my apartment for 36 hours every 48. i don't like leaving my pc on for that long without being here to check on it now and then.. but now i'm here for the better part of each day so i'm folding again =)
I'm not quitting. I'll keep folding away. In fact I'll be adding some more shortly.:)
WooHooo! I just passed the 1k mark. Gee and it only took me a little over a month with my computer folding about 14 hours a day.
I'm at position 104 on the charts, and hoping to get in the top 100 within the month, but I've been bouncing around the 102-108 mark for tha past week or so, so I'm wondering if I'm at the end of my rope, and will be stuck just over hte 100 mark for eternity.
Oh well, c'est la vie.
Cheers! :D
Gratz man!!Quote:

And also gratz to me!! I just took the #3 spot on the team from Gus!!:D:)
if my hdds are turned to spin down will i still fold?
I sent a complaint to Pande Group the other day about the value of Tinkers being way too low for how long they take. I just got a reply that they are aware of this and will fix this problem pretty soon.
cool, i keep getting loaded up with those lately. 2 days for 60 points? it's getting to be not worth it.Quote:

Well, if uping the points on Tinkers, stops people from complaining about them, I`m all for it.Quote:

It's not just the points! Tinkers seem to be more of a system problem/poorly writen code. I had a system go feet up last night, so I take a look and the CPU is over heating 20 seconds after boot. Fan is good bios settings are good, everything looks good. So I swap in a 2600+ , boot up and get the same problem in about a minute. Then I kill off F@H from the start up apps and the problem is gone. I resatart F@H and the problem is back. I look at the log, and it has done the first 50few steps at 4min and seconds and has been stuck on the current step for over 11 hours. I wipe it all out and get a new core, every thing is fine. I put the 3000+ back in and all seems fine. I run some diags past it and find that the chip is generating errors like mad. Heat damage I guess.
I`ve never had a problem with a Tinker doing that, the only problem I had with them is that they took longer to do then the Gromacs, as a matter of fact the only WU`s I`ve had a problem with were Gromacs, but like I said before there are some bad WU`s that pop up every now and then that creates all sorts of problems, even corrupting cores. BTW, I`ve been wondering how the WU`s are generated or created so to speak.Quote:

My production has been way way slow lately, and still is, I only have 1 rig folding right now because I just moved last weekend. Once I get braodband and a router, i'll hook everything back up! :)
