As much as i'd like to admit that i do think this early in the morning (i'm getting ready for work), i know that she would have passed you (i counted the WU's that my 2 boxes have cranked out, and she would have just passed you this week).

The scoring isn't based off of pure # of WU's, as Leto can attest to. They also base it on how long it takes you to process the WU among other such factors about the WU you worked on.

I've already got an XP 2000+ in the competition along with an AMD Duron 800. Go ahead though, bring on the pain Bernard.

Two questions:

1. Would it be possible to give our team the Hatrack banner as a logo? I imagine that whoever started the team would have to upload the graphic (and get permission from our gracious hosts).

2. Has anyone else noticed that we keep steadily moving up in the team rankings? We were in the 200s a while back, and we are at 152 now. If this keeps up (read: if more people install Folding@home!) we may make the top 100 in a few more months.

Regards,
Crazy Eddie

i've thought about putting the logo up, but the problem is, the thing you see up top...consists of two parts, not one, which makes it hard, i can either get the picture (i'd just put a direct link to it, in which bypasses any laws that I know of, because we're not copying the art and putting it up somewhere else)

another problem is i can't seem to figure out my password...

On the image side, the banner on the Hatrack home page is one piece (excepting the links, of course) and could be added with a simple link - if our hosts will permit a direct link to an image on the site.

The password, however, could pose a problem.

Crazy Eddie

Let's see, the roster of computers here looks like this:

2 1Ghz Tbirds, an 850 Duron, a XP2100+, and rounding it out is a P3 450 (only used during during the work week)

I wish more people would get involved in this - not only is is fun (watching the scores is fun), but you actually are accomplishing something useful. Besides - I want to see someone try to catch me and my 5 lovelies.

Skip the laundry folding - protein folding is so much easier.

DeepThought is almost fully operational mwahahaha
while underclocked for three days, he did six work units in a total of about 20 hours of up time, now that he is running at normal speed you shall fear him, especially because he shall be connected to a t1 line for 5 hours a day, I may put him through his paces and overclock, you must fear him

Um, what does having him connected to a T1 have to do w/folding at home? You'd only need it to download and transmit the data from your computer.

i'll be on all the time, while at home, it has to wait for me to dial up before it can send all the info, as well as the longer up-time, DeepThought strikes fear into you, that he does.

Hmm.. While I think it would be fun to have a T1, I think I'll stay with my cable modem for the time being. At least my connection is always on

Speaking of overclocking, let me know how high you can get your processor to go.

I've added my new computer to the workers. Well actually I added it right when I got it, but I did so under the same name as I was already using and now I've changed it so I can keep track of which computer does what. Is it sad that I knew our team id and didn't need to look it up when I started this computer on it?

What's really sad is that before the edit I had used "new" instead of "knew". I though I had stopped doing that in third grade. [Roll Eyes]

Because Zevlag is about to plug in a 20 node p3 1ghz cluster...I figured I'd get the rest of Hatrack a head start on him, because heavens knows we're gonna need it. Plus, this is also for the new people that haven't joined yet!

Addendum: I'm going to run before Josh tries to kill me for announcing this because he wants to hit the race in a dead sprint and take over everybody, WE CANNOT ALLOW HIM TO WIN!!!
