ohh and the temp with my mouse pointer under it is my processor temp...forgot to mention that

Yeah, all of mine run 24/7. I don't worry about my Intels too much, but I keep a pretty close eye on the Athlons. They jumped a few degrees but stay in the safe zone.

*woot*...my athlon has been cuttin thru these WUs like butter in an afghan desert....i just passed ya silent nitro...creepin slowly up on ya BZA...

I have been more than steadily creepin as of L8, I have 2 boxes runnin 24/7 tho I am 5 miles away from 1 of them most of the time, I hope it doesnt explode or cause a fire, cuz I aint there, hehe.
I don't have many WU's done but I got like 100 points.

Watch your back NoSlak, here I come.

I've been slowly gaining ground on Joe, but I probably shouldn't have mentioned it. Every time I start to gain he fires up another box and waves bye.

Man how many rigs are you runnin BA. I'm up to five now.

I keep losing count. I still have one somewhere that is crunching and sending it to no team at all, I can't figure out which it is.

You don't miss a thing BA! I lost a hard drive in one of my main "producers" and just got it running about an hour ago. I'm building a server for work within a couple of months and it's gonna kick butt (if I get to fold on it). Dual Athlons, 3GB PC2700, the works! I even got them to spring for a case with a window in it.....lol. I have not got any time to be messin' around modding their case. I'm chompin' at the bit to start on my new fiber optic monster!

woohoo...im #81! ...i think

I don't know if Coel will agree with me here, but buying a pre-modded case with the company's dime for a company computer sounds pretty cool to me. Dual AMD? That sounds like it would be a blast to put together.

I have moved four spots in three days, man that feels good, I still can't do much, but I can set up some folding monsters.
Can anyone tell me why it shows I have three machines running when I have six * I just bought the seventh*? the five have been running three days.



One more thing to people that are aware of my surgery. Seems as though the patch they put in my brains Dura , the sack that surrounds our spine and brain, to hold in the spinal fluid, is leaking. They are talking about going back and OPERATING AGAIN!! It seems that the pain medication i.e Vicoden, they are giving me causes constipation. I couldn't help it and strained, that is when I popped a few stitches in the patch they put in . The leaking fluid is causing spinal headaches that hurt bad enough, that before the pain meds kick in , it is hard to breathe.
Things that make you scream F$%#, F#$%, F#$%!!!!!!

Insom, sorry to hear you have had a set back! Hopefully there won't be another operation!

Please take care of yourself bro.

By the way, keep an eye on the gallery............within the next week or so........ (thanks for all the help and the how to guides!)

Sorry to hear about that Insom. Maybe it'll take care of itself and they won't need to do anything. I've moved 4 spots myself in the last few days also. Unfortunately it's been in both directions, so I'm right back where I started. Haha.

That's is very funny Hojo.
We are waiting ten more days to decide to go back in, they are hoping it will fix itself.....but as everyone around me says "If it is going to happen to anyone, it's gonna happen to Rob"
Thanks for the support

Better to get it fixed now than have it worsen down the road. I feel for you dude, but I would push to get them to repair it as soon as possible.

I get to go in for traction treatment for the next two weeks. They are talking surgery, but want to try alternative methods for now. Seems that I have some ribs that don't like to stay attached to my spine, which is doing something to the spinal cord that is causing my pain. All I know is my neck and upper back is hurting like a bitch and I am tired of the pain killers. I'll give the traction a shot but if that doesn't do it I will demand the knife. I only got 4 more months of free medical care. Congress screwed us retiree's and no longer promise free medical for life, even though that was on my original enlistment contract.

Besides that little thing, looks like Joe is about to wave at me again. I knew there had to be a problem, I never gain points on him unless one of his rigs goes down. But I did pass him in overall user standings. I am about to break the top 500 folding users.
