Hurray! The list is growing beautifully. I just noticed that my main computer hasn't actually been folding for like a week now x_x

I dunno what's wrong with it, but I'm not going to bother fixing it since I was planning on doing a full reformat on my Windows drive this weekend anyway and reinstalling then will fix whatever's wrong. I probably be reinstalling stuff for a few hours but I love a fresh install without all the crap that builds up over the months.

Edit-

:eek: USURPER!
Lady-Loki has taken the top spot and with one fewer WUs to boot. Congratulations :p

Hessah 11-16-2007 06:56 PM

oh mad! gratz Loki! XD

Lady-Loki 11-16-2007 08:28 PM

Thx guys, but it really is just luck in getting any given WU of any given size since that determines how many WU's you complete. What I'm not sure of is how the point value works out since it seems some WU's carry more points than others. Doesn't really matter though, I just try to keep mine folding so "our" team moves up.

Hey Fiesta Fan Users - download and start folding! We need the FiestaFan.com team to move up fast and make the Top 20!

You have failed horribly.

Edit- Nevermind, looks like you took back yer spot at #3 pretty quickly, lol.

But on the the plus side, both my 'puters are folding away again so I should go back to having two processors in there.

Twillsky 11-18-2007 09:57 PM

Well, it's not everday that you finish a WU at midnight sharp. :3

how often do they update the list? i tried to check the list just then and they said they're updating the list.. check back in 15 mins

i've had this once before too

so I can have two computers folding away.. both under my name?

I think I read somewhere on the site that it updates once a day, but yeah I have noticed it says that updating thing a lot more than once a day so I dunno.

Yes you can have as many running under your name as you want. Just install it and use the the same name and team number. It should just show when you click your name how many active cpus you have.

Hessah 11-19-2007 02:35 AM

Ohh cool, i might ask to see if i could hv it running from work comp... keke

Hessah 11-19-2007 09:11 AM

wow is it normal to get a project that's otu of 5000?

my 1st two was just out of 1500

Blaaaaaaaah 11-19-2007 09:16 AM

Yeah my very first project was 5000.

Hessah 11-19-2007 09:45 AM

LOL~ arent they nice to u

Twillsky 11-19-2007 10:56 AM

Apparently, they like to welcome you with a nice, big, grande, WU. Mine was 2000.

Lady-Loki 11-20-2007 04:13 AM

Woo Hoo! Welcome to the line-up Saetayoru!

Spirit 11-20-2007 01:20 PM

Who?

Lafieru 11-20-2007 02:51 PM

Wow, bad news. My comp is very crash prone, and it seems everytime it crashes, the thing starts over. (Which I don't understand at all, I thought it was saving work on the HD? ~_~ ).

So yeah, doesn't look like I'll be getting any WUs done anytime soon. =(

It should be saving your work to the work folder it creates wherever you install or run the program from. If you're really highly crash prone you might want to lower the checkpoint frequency so it saves more often. If you installed the GUI version you can right-click the icon in the notification area of the taskbar and then click configure and go to the Advanced tab and there should be a slider for the checkpoint frequency there. It can be set to save as often as every 3 minutes, I think the default is something like every 10-15 minutes.

If you're really crashing that often though, you should probably look into that first and try to find the reason why you're crashing and fix it. There could be a billion reasons for that though. It's most often due to lack of maintenance. Do the normal stuff, CheckDisk, Defrag, Virus/ad/spyware Scan, Registry Cleaner and actually open up the case and physically clean out the dust as that often causes crashes and restarts from overheating. Good luck.

@Saetayoru - Welcome to list :)

Saetayoru 11-21-2007 02:37 AM

Oh, guess I forgot to post. I was going to download this anyways, and I figured you might want another team member, even though I'm pretty new to the site.

Hessah 11-21-2007 02:39 AM

Welcome~! Your name looks familiar though...

Saetayoru 11-21-2007 02:51 AM

Ok. I'll try to give some background info. I am female, between the ages of 5 and 40, and live in the US. And my name probably looks familiar because all I ever do for names is abuse a Japanese-English translator :). I also type at the speed of a slug, so I won't reply as quickly as you people.

Hessah 11-21-2007 03:40 AM

LOL!! well, nice to meet you!!!

Not necessarily. I mean I brought F@H to this site and I've been using it for a long time, yet I remain thoroughly evil. :p

@Saetayoru - A crisp cold night? I like those. That's what my translator thingy said it meant anyway, lol. Well anyway, welcome to the site as well as the F@H team.
