Yes.

What do you mean?

The client that runs on my PC at work.

Ah, so was that one of your best folders?

Yes

Damn, that's a shame, why is it offline?

It just folds for a couple of hours then gives up. The application stops. It doesn't crash or 'stop responding', it just doesn't do anything else from that point onward. I had a look at the latest patch and thought about giving up folding completely if this is their idea of a patch... the Folding at Home development team need a serious kick up the ass.

So which client are you using, and have you tried a different one?

The SMP 5.91 beta.

Ah, I can see why that would be a big producer. You could just cut back to the standard version for a bit?

I've dropped back to the standard client for now. That seems to be working OK. I've already managed to get through 2 work units on it.

Better than nothing, though probably not as many points now?

Yeah, the SMP WU's used to get me over 1700.

I noticed, and I've seen PPD stats and SMP simply kills the basic client.

This is confusing...



That might be the PS3 doing a sudden but old upload, it has network problems and sometimes doesn't connect to the Internet correctly.

Heh, massive lump of WUs, how many points you get for that?

Only about 800.

I thought the PS3 got high pointers? Or it might have been after deadline.

Yeah they were way after deadline if it was the PS3.

Is anyone here running the version of Folding that runs in the Nvidia CUDA thingy?

Nah, I would do, but my comp is getting pretty hot recently, and my graphics card isn't too happy

BTW, it looks like we only have 4 active folders now! What's happened?

I scared everyone away...

Probably, I'm actually doing pretty well now, lol.

I've slowed down a bit, I keep forgetting to remote start my FAH clients around the building. Of course, it's completely against corporate policy, and probably illegal, but I'll do it for the good of mankind.

Your company probably won't even notice, lol.
