Help fight cancer with F@H! join team ECF today!!!!!!

[spacekitty]

10 days. It sent me one that won't be done for TEN DAYS. There is no joy in 10 days I can tell you! I like to pop in and see progress. This is going to be like watching paint dry -- except SLOWER!

How could they DOOOOO that to meeeeeeee!!! View attachment 164087

It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it... And isn't that the reason we are all here in the first place??

He can Space, just have him use our team number...and don't forget to apply for a passkey After 10 completed WUs you will start getting bonus points!

Snus, I have a quad core, but I am only running 2 cores since I also work from home on this PC. Like Sashwa says, every little bit helps. I have to power mine down at night because I live with my mother in law, and she would have a stroke at a monster electric bill.

I don't pay for my utilities where I live!!

This is awesome. I'm totally going to install this when I get home!

Just you wait, you too will start checking on yours to see your progress. You will find joy in seeing it work, and seeing your score rise. Unless they send you one that takes 10 days. Then you will see NOTHING, barely any progress... no rising stats! No WU's adding up.

But then again, I do have 3 computers running so I always have my other 2 to spy on and raise my stats. But STILL!

Neither do I Space...that's why I don't want to hear MIL yelling at me for the bill LOL! She flips her lid in the summer over the window ac units

I don't know what you're complaining about. My first one took 2 wks. Talk about boring.

I understand what you're saying... I just kinda look at it like those links I have in my sig... You don't have to sign up for an account just to click on them, but if you do, you can track how much your clicks have done. Like how many mammograms you have helped to fund, or how many animals in shelters have been fed, even the # of square feet of Rain Forest you have saved, etc.
I used to like seeing all of that, but I don't always have time to log in... so just knowing that I am doing some small part to help out is reward enough in itself...

This whole set-up kinda reminds me of SETI... talk about BORING... LMAO!!
(unless you happen to catch something and set off an alarm - ha!)

If my first one would have taken that long, my OCD would not have hooked into it. But its too late now! The OCD is aware of it and wants to check it.

Yeah, I did SETI for awhile but it bogged down my system and had to uninstall it. Now THAT was boring.

 

[epage]

Yep, used to do the SETI thing, too!
I always imagined my work being the one that pinpointed some grand discovery in space hehe!!

 

[Kings35]

Well, I'm in.. old desktop single core.. was given a wu estimated complete in 5 days...

 

[epage]

HeyHey!! Check it - 10 WUs completed!! Woot!



Happy Happy Friday y'all!!

 

[Koman]

Cool! Good stuff

 

[Thrasher]

waaay back when i started with seti also, then a neighbor or someone showed me F@H, and said wouldnt it make you feel better doing something like that that actually shows results? and i was hooked on the idea.

my problem with seti was always the arrogance of the researchers, saying if its out there it will only be this tiny little frequency window in this direction. who are we to say that a more advanced civilization will use the same small window of radio waves that we think is appropriate.

I am up and running! Thank you for introducing this to the ECF.

 

[kindnugs]

I setup a new box(older pc but dual core) on my network just to run this now. Its not as fast but I can have it going for the end of time (or till the box blows up )

 

[Dusty_D]

Wow.. don't check status for a few days, and I find HUGE progress.

19 teams to beat to get into the top 1000.

77,000 points to collect to break 1 Million for myself.

Which will come first?!

I think it will be your Million, Congrats BTW. As a team we are jumping up and down daily and not making very much progress up anymore. We need a few more members to start/restart..
