What is the Foldathon:
Ok, so last month wasn't our greatest (out of the two we've had so far

), but December should be something special. We've got 20 active Folders for the team at the moment, and 21 Folders signed up. Plus, it's winter, and with the weather we're having, why not fire up another rig to bring some heat into the house?

So, 158k in October and 113k in November; let's try and do a bit better this time around, alright?

How it works:
Run Folding@home for team boards.ie (number 39432) during the specified times. If you don't know what Folding@home is, feel free to make a thread in the forum or check these guides:

What is Folding?
CPU Folding
GPU Folding

When?:
Wednesday December 22nd (5pm), until Friday December 24th (5pm).

Sign-Up:
No need to sign up again if you took part last month.

Are people ignoring me?

**Solitaire** · 09-12-2010, 01:26

I'm already signed up!

Besides, no change to my folding capabilities until the OpenCL client finally launches whenever next year!

Right... seems the Foldathon is going to have to be delayed:

One of our main server rooms will be undergoing maintenance on December 16, 2010. This will mean some of the FAH servers will be off line on that day. It looks like most of the key FAH infrastructure will be up, but there will likely be WU shortages on that day since a large fraction of machines will be down.

We are working to optimize what we can by distributing jobs to servers in other server rooms, but we wanted to give donors a heads up in advance so they know this is coming.

So... how about a weekend Foldathon instead? Friday to Sunday?

**Solitaire** · 10-12-2010, 00:48

Fine by me

I'm only really gaming on XBox at the moment anyway

zodac · 10-12-2010, 01:44

Bah, no gaming for me for another week I'm guessing. So plenty of points coming in it seems.

C.D. · 10-12-2010, 16:57

I game at the weekends and work during the week so a weekday foldathon is a much better option for me!

zodac · 10-12-2010, 23:09

So... Thursday to Saturday (16th-18th) then?

**Solitaire** · 11-12-2010, 01:12

Um, zo, Stanford might have an issue with that...

zodac · 11-12-2010, 02:40

<---- Idiot who forgot why we changed the dates in the first place.

Right... well... ideas anyone?

I won't be able to do it 20th-22nd, but any other dates this month are fine with me. If we're taking out weekends, we've got 3 options:

• 13th-15th (a bit soon though...)
• 23rd-25th (CHRISTMAS!)
• 27th-29th

What suits you lot best?

**Solitaire** · 11-12-2010, 02:46

Weekends

zodac · 11-12-2010, 02:50

Alright, I'll be fair.

1 guy for weekends, one guy against. Next person to pop in and share their opinion shapes the schedule.

BabyEater · 11-12-2010, 13:07

Any time before Christmas would suit me so I vote for next weekend.

laurence997 · 12-12-2010, 23:28

I completely forgot about this until today

. Still, I did have the ps3 folding on and off for the last couple of days. Could a pm the night before be arranged? That would help my scattered head a lot (or I could always set an alarm on my phone)

zodac · 13-12-2010, 00:35

I think I can manage a few PMs.

Ok, anyone object to 22nd-24th?
