What is the Foldathon:
Well, we had a pretty good start last month, with 158k points, and 12 participants. Let's go for 20 Folders, and a round 200k this month. With any luck, these P6701s will pass, and we can let our CPUs loose.

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 November 17th (5pm), until Friday November 19th (5pm).

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

Right, I added another graph, this time showing total points.

Not really that spectacular now, but a few more Foldathons and it'll be important.

You might need to expand the x-axis a bit, only every second name is showing

zodac · 31-10-2010, 01:40

I don't think I can do anything about that; limitation of GDocs.

However, if you click "Edit this page" at the bottom, you can see the full version.

**Solitaire** · 31-10-2010, 01:59

Not all of us have a GoogleAccount

Or at least, a GoogleAccount that Google doesn't lovingly WIPE every few weeks

zodac · 31-10-2010, 01:02

I use my MSN account.

laurence997 · 31-10-2010, 20:21

When I click "Edit this page" all I get is that I don't have permission.

And I have a google account.

zodac · 31-10-2010, 20:33

Ok, try it now. Sol, I don't think it needs a Google account either now.

laurence997 · 31-10-2010, 21:53

Still nothing.

It doesn't really matter though because we can still see everything on the spreadsheet.
It gives me this error when I click the "Edit this page" button.
"We're sorry, (My Account Name) does not have permission to access this spreadsheet."
I could request access, but thats just more trouble for you.

laurence997 · 31-10-2010, 22:22

Oh Zodac, slightly off topic, but do you mind me asking what kind of beasts you and rockal fold on?
All I can manage is to use is the PS3. The home computer's so slow that if I put anything else running on it I fear that it would start computing in reverse

.
The rest of the computers in the house aren't mine to commandeer or else aren't permanantly connected to the super hyper mega interweb.

I'll work on it nonetheless... I have set it to public, but will try again.

I can't speak for rockal, but I've got a Q6600 and a 9800GT Folding for OCN that I bring over for the Foldathon. And there's an E8400 and GTS 250 that I can use for some of the Foldathon too.

Guh, signed up again without seeing that I didn't have to since I took part last time

zodac · 01-11-2010, 19:54

Sorted it out.

**marco_polo** · 02-11-2010, 01:21

Should someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction on what to do, I would be happy to throw a fairly modest AMD HD4870 and 965BE rig into the mix for at the very least a trial month (and hopefully more).

Just out of curiousity what would 48hrs folding straight on both do to my electricty bill?, generally I have a bit of OCD about not using daytime units whereever possible so this goes against every fibre of my being.

I would guess it wouldn't be much worse than accidently leaving few 100W bulbs on all day by accident? (Honestly it is my inner hippy, not inner tightarse that wants to know

)
