My Computer

Default WUpee

I am 350 of 500 frames away from my first WU on my main rig and 83% from another on my laptop.... soon to feature on the team score board!!!

My only problem is that if I want to continue folding, I will commit my main rig to Windows as I have to keep it available for the squatters....
So, I think I might have to go down to folding with my laptop only.....

Sorry guys......

At east you're folding, I've not folded for a while. WTG on [nearly] completing your first WU.

You have squatters? I've heard you refer to them a few times before. I'm confused :S

folding@home runs on windows, linux, mac, BSD... so why cant it run on that computer?

Off Topic:


lookout, im BACK!!!! mwhahahaha

after 16 days of downtime, i have my main alive and kicking the outa my original WU (resumed from last install)

for some reason the scripts i made to start f@h on boot arnt working... but meh, deal with that another day (i've started it now, mwhahahahahahahahaah)

i'm not sure why i dont just take up my old folding name (publicenemyno9681) as i was on 90 something WU's... but meh, im with my new name so lets go go go ( impotence[z365] )

PS does capitalization make a difference in the username? i cant remember if my 'zombie' machines (friends who have agreed to run it) have a capital or lower case 'I' on Impotence...

My Computer

My rig is dual booting. Where I insist on using Linux only, the squatters only want to use Windows. So every time the young squatter comes home and has homework, he will reboot into windows, thus stopping my folding. Yes I could start again, folding on windows but then after an hour or two when they have finished using windows, I want to get back into linux. But to be honest that's not a problem....

And before you ask, no, I cannot seem to get through to them.... they will not use Linux. More 'I told you so's for me..... so there is an up.....

you could have f@h running in windows too, just disable big packets and ask for WU's without a deadline
