[purplemohawkman]

ive lost 2 nearly complete packets from lil to much OC (i had a 70pt tinker that got about 75% dont then my core crashed) and i lost the other from CHANGING THE SYSTEM DATE!!!! who knew???? im sitting watching my console and changed my system time and date (i reset it from when my cpu took a bath ) and BLAAMO it says WU past dead line, deleting WU, getting new WU, uhhhhhh just when i was about to pass RANDO too

You know what, I hate that. FAH is kept on a separate partition and I've done it a couple of times when reinstalling windows.

I wonder if I can run it on a thumbdrive, take it with me?

Sure can. In fact, I keep the access codes to the NSA's mainframe on a thumbdrive. I like teasing CIA and FBI agents with it.

but when are you, with all your 1337 computers, are going to catch up to me?

maybe after you get my 700mhz athlon to crunch tinkers for you?

[purplemohawkman]

that AND i should have have a rig back up and running tomorrow when my brother gets his replacement vidcard

[purplemohawkman]

hey russian what exactly are you folding with???

[Chilliwilli]

purplemohawkman: just to let you know your mohawk is green not purple.. otherwise a mighty fine hair piece ;-)

Oh and I've been dropping units all over the place well annoying I must have done 10WUs but only submitted 2.. any tips?

[purplemohawkman]

is you core crashing? you shouldnt loose WU unless your core crashes then it gets a new WU to work ont all that work you did goes out the window!

truth is i dont have the hawk any more i cut it off almost two years ago but it was purple when i created my alais on AIM

[Chilliwilli]

Doesn't seem to be crashing. Thinking I must have shutdown probs and that the files don't get written properly.. Anyone using the Linux client have any advice for shutting down?

doesnt Ctrl-C work?

here was a way but i cant remember. When i had linux i used to make sure i would shut the client down manually before the rest of the machine. altho wheni was runnin it i hardly turned any of my rigs off.. then my dad complained.

[purplemohawkman]

i know how that one goes, i just cant wait to hear my parental units complain when i got 2 folders, my main, my bro's and the family cpu running, at least folders dont require monitors but hopefuly my production will get a nice boost from adding 2 cpus that do nothing but fold, they maybe slow but everything counts

[Lazgoat]

Another way I've just discovered to NOT increase your production...Let your friends P4 system fold for you! Its a P4 2.66Ghz and has been folding for the past week (4-7hrs/ day)and hasn't finished ONE work unit yet!

Laz.

Indeed some strange problems you've had with that P4 Laz. I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help!

[purplemohawkman]

lol one of my folders is a 1.2ghz celeron it runs 24-7 and it hasnt finished 1 unit in the last 4 days, were as the my 1700 @ 1.6ghz does close to a packet in a day with people using it.

[Lazgoat]

I've managed to get it folding by copying the F@H Graphical Client from my own PC to it. It then downloaded the correct core, FAH Core_78, and its been folding ok since last week.
The problem arises if I download either the Graphical or Client straight to the machine and then it tries to get a core to work with, it gets a FAH Core_ca core which keeps crashing.

Laz.

[purplemohawkman]

no i checked on it and it got a stupid tinker it should done sometime tomorrow but but i changed it to do G@H sence they dont take as long
