I had to close the window in my computer room today. It's only 39F in Bismarck, ND and we have a winter weather warning.

Um, quit teasing. It hit 90 down here today. I had to shut my windows 2 weeks ago......to turn on the A/C.... :cry:

hertz9753 · May 7, 2010

Crazy climate up here. ND has the highest average wind speed in the US. Have any of you thought about having your own wind farm? :laugh:

It's snowing now. Snowing in May, I have to mow the lawn, it's getting to high. Maybe I will use the snowblower on the lawn.

I vote he keeps rubbing it in your face, CP, because it's goddamn funny. Sorry bro, but we all know that comedic value is more important than feelings for guys.

Looks like your getting in on the weather we've been having, that is, 15 degrees below normal and snow level down to 1500 feet. No snow here but frost overnight. But, with the way it is around here, it'll be 85 in a couple of days and I will have to stop Folding.

I found a nice medium due to the heat because I refuse to sleep on my sofa, it sucks. So I just sleep on top of my sheets......naked.

Doesn't matter. I don't know how many are competing in this, but I like to look at it as we are in the top 10. If there was 10 or less groups competing......we were one of the few that were allowed to participate in the challenge.

I am not even sure if this is true, but I remember Buck posting something about a Canadian forum that stated some stuff with us and he doesn't like them. So if me doing a little less laundry helps try to get some revenge for Buck against some Canadian dicks, so be it.

VIVA LA CHIMPOWERUP!!!

hat · May 7, 2010

It's 46F right now... I've got no AC in my room, but there's one in the living room, and one in my mother's bedroom, and I can get some air from them from a decently powerful floor fan I just got... so it's livable. I also enjoy the noise from the floor fan... it's louder than anything else, so all I hear is the constant hum of the fan. I find that noise very relaxing for some reason.

Yeah I was surprised when I had 4 computers running in one room, it became super hot, 85 degrees F. Then the AC went out. 97 degrees F. Texas heat... Ahh well I slept in the room, on top of the sheets. During the night, 4am, GRIND GRIND GRIND. Hard drive is going out, or something, anyway, I jump out of bed, grab CO2 fire extinguisher by computers, in place for this reason, rip off case cover, wrong computer, crap. Rip off next case cover, HD is letting out blue smoke. Flip off PC switch, empty fire extinguished into the case. CO2 is not gonna hurt anything so... Mission accomplished. I hope you folders have CO2 fire extinguishers. CO2 is the important part, as it is easy on components.

I just checked the status of ChimPowerUp on our Folding charts and it is over 3 million right now, ranked 22, and has 181 clients.

It list 182 clients in the last 50 days.....and the 1 missing is probably my overheated AM2 5000+.

Edit: Blue Smoke??? Damn that sucks.

Well apparently it has a correct name of MAGIC SMOKE. I am not joking.

EDIT: BTW my HD 4850 awaits to replace your dead X2 next Tuesday when I get home. 1 more exam!!!

I know...cause Magic Smoke is a term i recognize.

EVGA had like 9 million on day 1....at this point shouldn't they have already won? I also completely think multi-million dollar companies should be be allowed in this cause that is unfair. Besides, aren't they sponsors too, so how can they compete for prizes they are giving away???

Edit: Ignore that last statement. EVGA is not a sponsor.....I still think it is BS, but whatev.

I will fold until we hit 20 million, minus about an 40 minutes tomorrow when I will offline my CPU to encode 5 hours of DVD footage.

I think we should fold till 20 million regardless. I would at least like to finish.

We, TPU, did 1,220,291 points yesterday with ChimPowerUp 1,051,260 of that. First time we've broken 1 mil without some type of points correction, I believe. Way to go, and thanks for all those who are helping. :toast:

No, something's wrong. My 4400+ gets 950PPD! Restart the client

Makaveli · May 7, 2010

ya restarting the cilent fixed it thanks.

Is this something that is normal?

so for people that have multiple boxes folding they should monitor them just incase?

*Update*

Its back to around 400ppd now. After I restarted it was at 8000 now it dropped not sure whats going on.

It happens (albeit rarely), I'd check every now and then, but certainly not like 10 times daily (maybe once/day)

I don't believe in coincidences! The high demand during the competition probably broke it.
