Anyone know just how inefficient the screensaver is vs. the cli client?

Nope I was stuck at work. Thanks for answering the message, I had to laugh when I saw the date that I sent it. A bit busy were we?

Don't know the answer to your screen saver question, I never run them.

Come on up, I'm clearing the path so you guys can pull in behind me and draft. I see Scott trying to sneek up behind me but I still have a couple more rabbits I can pull out of the hat. Enjoyed your pushing me to keep producing more unit.

Only took me about five months to catch up with enola last time.

My internet at home went down yesterday. Electrical storm last week apparently fried a number of cable modems in the area, and mine just decide to give it up yesterday. Won't be back on line until Monday or Tuesday. Having to send this from work before leaving for the weekend. Of course the nice thing about dFold is it will just keep on crunching and storing up all those finished generations. Fortunately have lots of disk storage space on all boxes.

When I do dump results next week, it will be "BIG".

Guess I'll just have to settle for Cable TV and fireworks for this weekends entertainment, and weather permitting a little photography.

I wondered about you Shaktai... guess you didn't move boxes onto another project...

I won't be any danger to you guys yet, unless I find another 10+ machines to enslave.

No computer will do you good... get out and enjoy the fresh air! (sez this computer monkey...)

I don't know about you being not being a threat. I am going to keep an eye on your rates.

Wondered what happen to you Shaktai. Good to hear that someone is going to enjoy their weekend. I be sitting in front of computer screens all weekend. Still working on airplanes that have the blades on top.

Well, suddenly the dang cable modem decided to start working again this afternoon. Was out running around, and came back home and everything was working. While I was enjoying my weekend, 3 of my boxes decided to take some time off too. Don't know how long they were down, but my dump won't be as big as I hoped for. Maybe only 350,000-400,000.

Friday, was good, lots of fun, Saturday I actually ended up going in and working 5 hours. Mostly just to tie up some loose ends without interuption so next week won't be so hectic. Today has been a lazy day. Woke up early, and just been doing miscellaneous stuff and enjoying the day. Looks like my stuff has all uploaded, it should show in the team stats sometime this evening.

I see you found the 10+ machines to enslave! Nice power up! I guess it is time to start looking for more hardware here before you race by me too!

You have to watch slipjack. Just when you think you have got ahead of slipjack he come up with more power. It was a cat and mouse game between us on the competition. I saw the power up also but I think there is more left where that came from.

You are going to have a real challenge to get that number four spot with Shaktai and Slipjack around.

whoa...

nice ramp

(well, at least I'm still in the top ten... for now anyways...)

slipjack · Jul 7, 2003, 12:10 PM

Hehe... I might be tapped out for now, jb... then again...

slipjack · Jul 7, 2003, 12:11 PM

Thanks wulf... for now I'm going for the #5 spot.. don't have the muscle to take on Shaktai just yet.

That "just yet" worries me.

Don't worry be happy.

Be happy that slipjack has not decided to take aim at you. YET.

slipjack · Jul 9, 2003, 11:34 AM

Heh, well I wouldn't got that far... it's really a matter of decided. Unless I wanted to drop 1 grand on some boxes to run on my own... and that's not going to happen anytime soon.

Shaktai · Jul 9, 2003, 11:25 PM

Well, we almost have enough power now to make a run on the top 10 again. And that is with only 21 or 22 folks actively crunching.

Hmm! if we really through ourselves into it, we might even shoot for the top 5.
