Dear lovely SFX folding community. I was there when we started, I promoted the hell out of this project in the old SFX, worked hard on the new SFX, and continue to work on protein engineering in my real life job.

However, time has come o hang the processor in the willows. Some laboratory computers are still running the application under my name, however I will not actively see to it that it stays that way. F@H on my computer stopped yesterday.

I am number 5. Wow, when I started folding (and I was one of the early ones) I was always hovering around number 20.

I know I added 1-2 computers since then, but still, back then I was never number 5. It is good to see in the list of active users that I am number 8 in there, and sometimes fall back to number 15 ;o)

Come'on dudes and dudettes: catch up with me I dare you ;o)

Now up to number 4... Chekat here I come.

Of course it would be better if we were getting of position 85 and climbed to top 50, but hey, who knows...

Closed one computer...

Well it has been folding since I added the nice little red logo in my system tray. I was also one of the first to enter this team. Now that it slowly is getting warmer (outside and thus in my computer) I am pulling the F@H out of my home computer.

I am slowly trickling into the top 10 of our team so I will give that one its needed rest. The other 4 computers will continue as good as they can, but since they are located at work, other people than me may switch them off or be very active on them. Eitherway ~300 points a day in stead of ~500 a day is fine. I am over 133 000 points soon.

Please others catch up, crank up your machine(s). And to all those who see their folding records in black (at eoc stats) remember: that you guys do over 60% of all work!

WHOEEHEOE

I did it! I passed the 100 000 points mark and am going strong. Love to see me in green but to be in the 100 000 feels good. 200 000 here I come (somewhere next year ;o)

Nostalgia

up north — Tue, 17 Jan 2006 08:53:59 +0000

Well I have to say I feel a little nostalgic today. When I started folding for this team over 1 year ago 'outz' was one of those folder that was out ocontrol and folding awya. I had only 2 computers folding then and it felt like I could never have that many point as he did.

Now 1 year later, he has stopped folding for our team (at least under that username?) and I overtook him. I can only say: things change...

Lets see if i can overtake a_rabbit some day, he was an active folder and even considered to fold for mozillazine a bit, but went back to his old team.

How long have you been in this team, yet another poll ;o)

me 2 over 80K!!

up north — Wed, 30 Nov 2005 08:16:40 +0000

So up to 90 000!Let's see that the new computer on the lab is up soon. Its an AMD64 new thingy so than I will kick some ass!

Call for moderator is out on SFX

up north — Mon, 12 Sep 2005 08:18:47 +0100

Dear Firefox users,

As may be know by some of you praseodymium has started a two fold effort almost 1 year ago.

The effort are two fold, because by helping this research we help fight deseases, and help Spreading the Word. So one way you can help us is to go to our introduction page and sign up.

Ok so far my (shameless) plug

But we also need some serious help. Our site has been spammed by backtrack spam, our numbers of active users goes down, and the site need to be more active. We need some features, and updates to the page.

So we are asking our SFx community to help out! Who is willing to help praseodymium with is efforts as site moderator. If I had the skills and time I would do it, but I will be wrapped up in the furture with this web site instead.

sorry aÂ¤%computer

I blew out my ventilator, so I have my case now full open, and run only a minimum of programs until I can replace it. Just trying to sparemy CPU (AMD Athlone 1700+)

Anybody has any idea how hot they are allowed to get?

So I paused F@H at home :o( The 2 at work are still running...

[edit] Ok bought a new one, this weekend its back up...

wow a surge!

up north — Tue, 23 Aug 2005 07:27:56 +0100

Folders: reactivate

up north — Thu, 16 Jun 2005 06:29:40 +0100

Yeah yeah I am sorry I crossposted from the forum, but I needed to say this twice...:

We should still be active here and update our blogs, ideas about folding etc...

We are loosing people, and then helping to find diseases & promoting Firefox will be not done. ( http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=138693&start=900): a_rabbit hops away :o(

HopeSeekr of xMule has posted a few blogs here, but an active forum is fun (see MozillaZine again) but hello praseodymium are you ok, should we call the police, a search party. What is up, are you still at SFX, should we do a roll call again.
