Rick_Deady's All Night Genome Cafe

[dnar]

Hi ya Rick! missed ya bud.

I just had to re-create this thread here, it was such a good one on the old board. :rolleyes:

[wylie]

Is it true?????
Is Rick back?????
YAY!!!
(and there was much rejoicing)

[Rick_Deadly]

It's always nice to hear such a nice welcome from friends :). I've never actually gone away... OK, well I didn't read any posts for about 36hrs, but that was the best I could do.

I wanted to be 100% calmed down before I posted anything to make sure I didn't say anything that would hurt peoples feelings. My last post a while ago was meant to start serious discussion about the team, but I ended up insulting a couple of people that I didn't think could be insulted... if you know what I mean.

I'm afraid our old threads were definately getting into the "flame war" "newsgroup" area (No thanks to me either.), so that's why I stopped.

Anywho... I'll adress that seperatey, I'm just glad to be back posting.

[phil]

Glad to have you back Rick.....we all said things in the heat of the moment, so just forget about it :D

[verT]

Good to see you back Rick.

[dnar]

It is good to have you back Rick! I for one understand your retreat from the discussion.

But hey Rick, it's come at a cost me matey. Look, your a Junior Menber. As a result of almost continued hammering away on this keyboard, I have almost recovered 9 weeks of postings and earned Linux Guru......

My fingers are bleading, and tommorrow, we all start again!

Overclocking, no sleep, posting frenzies, team mergers, ahhhh, this is the life. :cool:

[siggy]

So what is Rick_Deady's All Night Genome Cafe???

[Martyn]

Well, I for one am delighted to see you back in here Rick. At the time, passions were running high and everyone was a little fractious. I think it was something we all needed to go through in order for something like this to happen (I'd rather not go through it again though :) )

great to have you back man :D

LOL, it was a thread on the old a.c.h.o BB (God rest her soul), it sort of took on a life of it's own - a sort of virtual "Cheers", glad to see it here too ;)

Pull up a stool siggy :)

Howdy:

It's a thread Dnar started the day after I put my first computer 24/7 just to try and keep ahead of Dnar. LOL :D

I now have 2 machines running 24/7 just for the sake of crunching Genome. The friendly leap frog competition between me and Dnar has been great for Genome.

More genes... more genes... more genes :)

My Duron 1Ghz is 24/7
My daughters PIII 550 is now 24/7
My neighbours Athlon 1Ghz is now 24/7
My sons Athlon 800 is NOT 24/7 :(

If my son ain't careful, he may have to switch CPUs with my daughter :) hehe... how cruel ;)

Abviously you have mastered moving around to find the lastest posting. Congrats......you are well on your way.

[Rick_Deadly]

Hey Dnar:

Done any scrounging lately... I may have secured a few Ghz :) in the last couple days.

I'll be gone on vacation for a few weeks starting Saturday, so I don't know if my stats rate will climb or shrink.:confused:

Anybody going to convince me to leave my OC'd Duron running 24/7 while I'm gone. I'm scared we'll get a heat wave and it'll melt down while I'm gone. And what about lightning storms?

Decisions, decisions, decisions. :rolleyes:

[siggy]

Rick_Deadly, you do what you think is best. I would love for you to run it 24/7. But I don't want the guilt if you have a melt down. So it is ultimiately your decision. Good luck and enjoy your vacation.

Thanks siggy but I don't think I'll enjoy my vacation. I'm going to be painting the mother-in-laws house and moving her furniture :(

I'll probably leave the Duron running 24/7 at least. If I get a lightning strike or something while I'm gone, I just have to buy an Athlon when I get back :) I'll shut down the other 2 computers, because there's no way I could afford to replace three if I have a disaster :crossedfingers:

Hey have a great vacation Rick_Deadly enjoy the break mate :)

As for leaving them PC’s on….yer do it :rolleyes: if something happens we’ll all club together and sort something out 4ya ;)

[dnar]

Rick, I know how you feel m8, why not take the PC with you???

No I have not been scrounging, in fact I'm pumping 6 genes a day into the tank and 1 into dnar. I have still not installed the client on the Unix farm at work, and have decided not to. It just does not sit right, even though I am pretty much in control of the systems, they are just too critical. ALL Unix development is performed on these 6 servers, and all up they must contain around 50 man years of development.

I'll be staying at one of my brother-in-laws. He's got 3 computers, so I won't bring one. You can be rest assured that I'll make sure he's running genome on them all before I leave though :):D

[siggy]

Good for you Rick_Deadly. Don't leave any computer untouched by Genome.

[dnar]

Rick_Deadly isThe Genome Evangelist :D

[Rick_Deadly]

Hehehehehehe!
:evilchuckle:

I'm at the brother-in-laws computer now. I have it crunching genome and am using it to post these messages. Two more brother-in-laws to visit this weekend :)

(More evil chuckling)

Assimilate them all I say ! :D

[dnar]

Blessed are the genome makers.....

You go girl.....um I mean "you go dude"

[Rick_Deadly]

Hi everybody:

I'm back and just a little dissapointed. While I was gone, I checked my genome progress and noticed I wasn't getting anywhere. My Duron I left running 24/7 wasn't crunching.

I think the neighbor I had left the key to my house, restarted the computer for whatever reason and did not log in. So the computer was running but not crunching :( (They didn't water the flowers and my wifes gardens died too... oops.)

Anyway, I'm back now, and have my computers crunching again. Let's genome :)

[LBaker]

That's too bad Rick :( Well at least you made it back in time for the big show :D # 5 here we come!

[Rick_Deadly]

Woohoo,

Only 4500 to go :)

[siggy]

Where's the beer?

[dnar]

Welcome back Rick! Arg! Just check out stats, you have 5666 units!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Rick_Deadly]

Haha, I was just there and saw that... I guess it's straight to hell for me :(

LOL:D

Welcome back and I hope you've had a nice vacation.

Well, I passed the 666 without having a stroke so I should be OK now. Working vacations suck, but at least my brother and mother-in-law are happy :)

Just the brother-in-law. I didn't have the heart to install the genome client on the 16MB 486 my mother-in-law has. Her Email (Actually everything.) is as slow as molasses already. :o

[MechCD]

Hehehhe a 486, I bet thats slow for G@H. DOes it actually run win95/98? If it does, it deserves a pat on the cpu for a job well done

I know exactly what you mean. Mine has a 486 with a 14.4 modem. What fun that is to get online.:(

She's running 98.

:) I don't want to say it's slow, but the swap file consist of 8 herringbone files in a tool chest.
:) I don't want to say it's slow, but I just recieved the E-mail I sent me, from her machine last week, today!
:) I don't want to say it's slow, but the mother-in-law is 63 and she bought it when she was sweet 16.
:) I don't want to say it's slow, but last week I installed the ge and next year i'll install the nome.
:) I don't want to say it is slow, but when I started the client it took 382 WUs off of my stats page.

[siggy]

Took WU away.....ROFL. :D

I'll see if I can find some of those dancing hampsters :)

[wbierman]

Oh please... not the dancing hamsters.

[Jodie]

Da da da da da da da

Bring on the dancing hamsters!!!

[wbierman]

OK where is my shotgun? Line up all the little bastards and I promise only one shot...

[Jodie]

I prefer an M60 in this case....

[dnar]

I prefer the BFG2000...

[Rick_Deadly]

The heavy machine gun from SOF would be a blast. Hamster guts everywhere :)

[Rick_Deadly]

http://members.nbci.com/hamsterdeath/

Fry those little bastards :)

[siggy]

Well doesn't this just change the theme of the Cafe.. This use to be a fun place to pull up a stool.:(

[wbierman]

I should have mentioned rifled slug...

[Jodie]

Slice X's in teflon rounds... THAT's the fun way!;)

Oh, Hi, Siggy!:D :p

Sorry Siggy:

You know these commercial adventures... The only way to attract poeple is with violence and/or sex.

[siggy]

don't forget the Beer. :D

[Rick_Deadly]

Beer on tap... I prefer the Canadian stuff like Labatts Blue, but if any foreigners stop by I can put on some Rickers Red.

Hey Dnar, do Aussies actually drink that Foster's or is it just an export to north america.

For the Americans, I'm sorry but I can't say anything nice about your beer other than it taste better than Mexican stuff. :) Of course, us Canadians are always willing to share our stuff, strong but not as classy and foamy as most of the British stuff.

[wylie]

Rick mate NO-ONE drinks fosters!!!!
The morning after a party its the only stuff left in the esky coz some wally always brings it.....bleugh!
Dont mind some of your Canadian stuff......The Brits real ale is a damn fine drop too....

Thanks Wylie. That's what I thought, but I figured I better hear it from a few real Australians before I said so. What's your local beer like? What's your favorite brand? Is there any comparison to brands I might know?

hehehehe. Fosters? Puhhh! We export that carp! The best brew here is Crown Lager....

[Jodie]

Fosters - it's australian for bunny piss, mate.

[Jodie]

We've actually started to get a few micro-brewries in the US that can hold their own anywhere in the world. Portland Micro has an insanely awesome Oatmeal Stout that I *really* like. I travel and awful lot, so have come to know a lot of the world's beers. If we could just get REAL Red Barrel and Guinness in the US now. Sigh:(

[wbierman]

I hate beer....

That means more for you all....

[wylie]

But your name is beerman!!!!!!
Agree with dnar - Crown Lager, followed by anything from a microbrewery of which there seem to be thousands.
Jodie we are fortunate to get Irish Guinness imported now....My favourite drink!

[wbierman]

Yes I know....bierman....bier in German...unfortunately one of those things in life that can't be explained.
