Wurm is very busy with his education and lost interest with distributed computing.

Mak got angry some time ago and went back to EOC.

Bruce stays really busy on the FAH forums, something like 50k in posts if I remember right.

Miles is over at team ninja (http://www.team-ninja.com/vbulletin/index.php)

Jonny_B wasn't really intrested in the TGC. I also switched his workstation to crunch under my name a while back. Come to think about it, I switched it towards the end of Genome.

FBK stops by the board quite often, but he doesn't post or crunch anymore.

I bet MechCD is too busy chasing skirts.

I believe Virus has an addition or two to the family that he is focused on.

I believe Chris wolfe is still playing darts in the FWDA (www.fwda.org). I don't see him out much because he is playing in another division.

You forgot Lazzie :)

And Shu!!! Been a while since I lunched with Shu!!!

19th September 2005, 20:53

Siggy and Lazzie I miss most. I've "seen" Bruce quite a bit over there, but he's a whirlwind!

Martyn is playing with his knives :rofl: :rofl: Yup.

I swear I've seen Phil here a time or two, maybe just browsing, a while ago.

It'd be great to get the "old gang" back together. We should have a certain date that no matter what, we all check in on. Ah well...

Wow - sad to see contact has been lost with some of these guys :(
I never thought siggy would disappear..

TGC alternates between a few teams including Picard (not too many familiar names left there Im afraid )
Shu I see regularly, I'll tell her to pop in and say hi.
(Lazzie hides over at ninjamicros ;) )

Bruce

5th October 2005, 21:18

Hiya Bruce! Welcome back! You've got some old posts to catch up on. Check out Stilgar's posts about Rita. They give you a real you-are-there sense of things.

veggyhed

20th October 2005, 06:09

Sorry its been so long. I have zero time these days. I am still crunching but only have 2 full time boxes to crunch with now.

I started a very small (micro) business this summer and activities on my web site keep me busy.

I should probably change my sig :)

Its good to be posting here again. I will try not to be a stranger :)

12th August 2010, 06:10

I'm still alive!

LOL pell, I'd be chasing a bit more except that it gets pretty dull around here over the summer. Plus I'm knee deep in barcode research and for some reason the ladies aren't into that :banghead:

MikeTimbers

15th August 2010, 17:46

Holy thread resurrection Batman!

Barcodes? What's to research?

Hey Mech. I miss a few days and miss it all.

I'm still alive and kicking :) Man has it been a long time since I've visited this board. I still have an old pic of Pell and me when I visited Ft. Worth.

Just life. Raising an 8, 7 and 2 year old. 8 and 7 year old are heavy in activities and I've been coaching for their soccer and football teams.

Here's a couple pics of Pelligrini and myself. I still remember the snake bites! Let's just say the flight home was a little rough ;)

Hey Wayne!! How's it hanging?

Hey Wayne!! How's it hanging?

It used to be a bit to the left. At 46 its more like around my knees. Getting old sucks. Nobody told me your nut sack hangs lower with each passing year!!!

MikeTimbers

22nd November 2010, 03:11

46! I'm just a few weeks from 48.

dnar

23rd November 2010, 09:44

Hehe, I think you need to update your Avatar old friend.

MikeTimbers

24th November 2010, 17:43

No I still look like that. But my gonads are supported on a skateboard between my feet!

I am hearing your loud and clear in FM brother.

Hi guys!
Got the annual message around birthday time and thought I should drag my sorry arse back here. Memories absolutely flooding back!

News? You remember Nurse Shue? Well she and I got married last November....
I split my time between Perth (when it's not burning :rolleyes: ) and the goldfields town of Kalgoorlie. Had a month in the US last year - man I absolutely love the place - can't wait to go back. I keep in touch with LB via forums etc but apart from that regret losing contact with some great friends.. great to see the board still up!

You married shubles?!?!?!? Am I supposed to merge your two accounts?

Anyway, this is a definite TGC first! A wedding between members is a thing of beauty.

We need pics! And I don't mean smutty ones! Congratulations!!!!

dnar

10th February 2011, 03:09

Funny timing. I pulled my web site yesterday and was just going through the files I backed up first.

Do these bring back memories?

phil

12th February 2011, 14:23

Wow! Congrats Wylie!! Nice to hear from you :)

ohms18k

8th April 2011, 20:42

WoW! its been awhile.....reading the post…..wylie and shubles married congrats to the both of you.
I've been away a long time. I see Mike is keeping the place respectable, is pell still around? It’s good to see some of the old gang.

MikeTimbers

9th April 2011, 05:55

Hey Ohms! how's it hanging?

Well, the newly-retired (sounds better than long-term unemployed! ;) ) stilgar is doing all the hard work of keeping out the spammers. We've now got new members having to answer a question about folding@home before they can post which is keeping them out. We hope that anyone who was genuinely interested in joining TGC would know something about why we exist.

People pop in and out, saying hi and then vanishing to wherever they do whatever they do.

wylie

19th April 2011, 05:14

Good to see you again Ohms - and of course Phil, Wayne and Mike...and the everyone dammit! Pity we can't all have a beer :D

Haha - the Tank!! That was fun.... DC lost it's appeal when there was suddenly 5000 projects.

I'm still an admin at Team-Ninja, what there is of it. There was a massive dummy spit amongst the heirarchy, the domain owner of Ninjamicros took the name and ran. Set up a site, not sure what happened to it. TN is now pretty much all 'DC Vault' - a leaderboard taking most projects into account... like I said - way too many now.

Does the team still crunch anything?

Thanks for the good wishes guys... Shu is well and sends her regards. I'd post some photos... but... well... we got married in Vegas, and you know the rules!!!

MikeTimbers

20th April 2011, 02:47

TGC is currently #132 in the team scoring and heading downwards. Not enough crunchers to do any damage to the Folding@Home hierarchy. Bruce is a busy busy moderator at the official FAH forums.

We should catch up some time Wylie, for a beer or three.

Hi folks! Just wanted to drop in and say hi. It just so happens that Wyles and Shub are in NYC and we managed to catch up and have a long overdue beer together. They're here on their honeymoon. I'll let Matt explain that one if he pops in... :D

Stilgar

17th November 2011, 16:16

Howdy new member. :) :hugz:

wylie

27th November 2011, 23:40

Great to catch up LB - long overdue. Yeah, I thought eloping was a cheap and argument free way to get hitched. Didn't count on her wanting the full thing haha. Was awesome to visit the US again. Can't wait to go back.

Wayne if I can squeeze in a perth visit will try and buzz you for a catchup.

dnar

You don't live in Perth any longer? Kal?

Daniel, Laura, and Nora

15th January 2012, 23:03

I'm just tuning in again for my annual birthday visit. Shubs and wylie have been married well nigh a year and came to NYC and I'm just seeing it all now. Nice to see we're still up and running, even if drifting slowly down. My current hospital is locked down so tight I can't possibly crunch but my spirit is with anyone still turning the old crank.

dnar

5th March 2012, 03:46

Hi Everyone, it's your beloved trouble maker here to say hi. I hope everyone is well.

It's well over 11 year years now since this team was formed, wow... It's almost Internet history!

I still remember the old news group were it all started. ACHO.

5th March 2012, 16:45

Doesn't seem that long. Need to see if some more old timers will check in. It would be nice hearing from them.

Hi Phil,Nofinger.Nice to see Ya'll. I see your doing good Nofinger. BTW love is a red head putting up with me for 36 years. (Maybe the other way around though. ;) )Phil Ya still running around fast in ambulances?

Azzuron

13th April 2012, 07:09

I am not on your list but i remember spending quite a bit of time around here. Lots of memories for sure! Glad to see people still kick around here from time to time.

Have wife and dog now, working in software development/web development. They are practically the same thing now days anyway i guess.

Well, it was good to stop by, I'm glad i remembered my password haha.

Stilgar

16th April 2012, 07:25

Hi, Azzuron
Glad to see you drop by. And congratulations.

Azzuron

16th April 2012, 15:13

Thanks.... its rather odd to think back to when I was so into the genome crunching stuff and all. going to college, and partying.... now its going to work and partying. haha, with more going to work and less partying.

Zowie. Hi guys and gals. Wylie and Shu? Married!?! Major 'Grats!

Still breathing here, in spite of the best efforts of Uncle Chuck and a local ER PA.

Testing out a "secure" version of FF on an IronKey thumb drive that now holds a couple of Gigs of medical history for the next time everything goes all pear-shaped on me.

To coin a phrase, "I'll be back."

And sooner, rather than later.

Best to everyone!
