All things considered, looking at the sheet I can say it's been a very average day, with few real victories or losses across the ranks today. I have to say these are the days that I dread as a commentator, where there is no real centre of action where we can pick out people who are vying to get the same rank and no real victories to celebrate. So I guess without further ado, we should get right to it! This is going to be a quick post because I really have some work things I need to do before I s
Well I am on the bus on the way home, I have a lovely 30+ min ride ahead of me, but do not hear, for I am here. I used my foresight to bring with me my new two-in-one tablet to be able to get this sorted for you all. I think I look forward to writing them as much as you guys look forward to reading them. There is only one other person on the bus who is also working on a laptop, I guess they are also running a folding event /s. But seriously, let's have a look at how the team have done today. @cb
Well, here we are, just like that we have been folding for a week already! Where does the time go? It's not all that interesting today looking at the table but we are going to have a look and try to find something exciting. I want to take this moment to say thank you to every single person who has folded over the last seven days, we are advancing ahead as a team at warp speed and it is beautiful to see! Keep it up and we could overtake CureCoin before the end of the year! What a great Christmas
As I'm sure you can all understand I'm very tired after having to wait until 02:30 to manage to write this blog post thanks to not having internet. So I'm not going to make a big song and dance and instead will just go through some of the interesting movements in the ranks.
First up we are going to have a look ay a rising star, firedfly has gained another rank climbing to 7th with 317,026,286 points, meaning Gorgon ended up losing out, he may be able to climb one more rank at his cu
Well as many of you know I have been awake for like 40 hours at this point so let's see what my sleep-deprived brain can muster. Day five has come and gone, can you believe we have already put in a working week's worth of folding already? Time is slipping away, the clock ticks past the seconds one by one, Folding Month is passing you by faster than the blink of an eye. As the turbulence swells in the table of ranks, We'll soon see what everyone's got left in their banks. But not we go forth, to
Well, day four has come and gone, some interesting things are happening at the moment, a lot of shifting in the ranks. I can see many people celebrating, and many people commiserating. These early days are a time for everyone to stretch their legs, find their stride and try their best to maximise their output. Small tweaks here and there, the question is, will you risk it? An overclock can seem like a good idea to edge out that nearby rival but nidge it too far and you'll fail WUs and end up wor
The ranks are still very much in flux, which is to be expected to be the case this early in the event. As some people get going, and others tap out early, things will change, I'm not going to give too much weight to how these early ranks look outside of the fun aspect of seeing how the table is shaping up. We have had quite a few people stop folding, so here's a reminder that there are minimum requirements for the badge and prizes. The prizes are a random raffle of all participants who meet the
Day two is always an interesting one, on the one hand, it is still early in the event and as we know, everything is subject to change, but, we start to see what things look like when people are getting into the groove of things. I have to say those at the higher end of the table really do never stop amazing me. But those aren't the most impressive people, the fact that someone is willing to throw their only computer at the event is what really impresses me. Those that are willing to take the onl
Well... Here we are, the first points update for a folding event. There is something magical about this time, something surreal and truly majestic. In many ways, this update is not unlike any of the 34 that will follow it. But to me, this is the best feeling in the world, the rush to get the stats out, the pensive feelings of those waiting to see just how they shape up. All of our's first chance to get a view of the table and a sneak peek at how the chips may fall. But as those veterans of these
Well, the time has come for the first blog post of the event. I have to say that I am apprehensive about this year's event, not because I think anything will be wrong, outside of the usual issues, but because I'm taking part in NaNoWriMo this coming month and I'm expecting to change ADHD meds during the month.
I have to be honest that I'm surprised that I am still running events all these years later, but also, I also look forward to these events! I look forward to seeing the whole
So I realize that the new macOS was announced over 2 months ago but I feel the need to still write this...
I feel we need to recognize the 2015-2017 12-inch MacBook as the laptop that paved the way for future Apple M series laptops. This MacBook model was and still is one of the thinnest and lightest models Apple ever made. While most would call me crazy the butterfly keyboard (Which was introduced with this laptop in 2015) is still a very nice keyboard especially if you don't like a
Kinda getting off topic when it comes to the thread title but I really mean it.
It's fair to say that the stupid topic on twomad that was posted in general few hours ago made me think of this
SO basically, an annoying person who makes 13 year old boys laugh asked some weird shit and has done some non-nice stuff to other person. I can't gasp at how pointless that is, for many, MANY reasons. First of all, there are people who actually tend to care about such, to us, unrelat
Well, here we are. A little late to the punch, it has been incredibly hot here in the UK and I just have had no energy to get anything done. But, as promised and as always here are the final ranks and stats. I have to say that despite our low number of participants and the fact that many of us were experiencing a heatwave at the time, to see we cracked 2.5 billion points for the event is amazing. Thank you to everyone who produced anything towards that total.
In a move that surprises
Good evening to all those who are following the blog. Thank you for taking the time to keep yourself up to date and engaged with the event as it has progressed over the last week. I have to say that it has been a bit of a mixed bag, on the one hand it has been my best event ever in terms of production, but on the other hand I have been struggling of late. The good news is that today has been a pretty great day for me and has been highly productive and most importantly, enjoyable. It has been ver
Well here we are, after the interruption of yesterday and my unexpected need to join a friend at the hospital I am once again here to give you a blog post. I'll be honest that I haven't been happy with my blog posts for this event, they have been lacklustre. For me, life is challenging, between struggling with chronic pain, a wide range of mental health struggles and a general feeling of discontent in life atm has been a real struggle for me lately. It is one of those things that I don't often t
Well, here we are, Right now I am on a group VC that includes the one and only @Shlouski !!! He is a solid gent and on top of that is enjoying number one.
As already stated we have the number one man taking the number one spot, Shlouski takes pole position with 284,294,137 points, and I have to say it is looking like Mxyzptlk is not going to be able to compete in the slightest, this is not to say he is doing badly by any stretch, taking the second rank with 256,294,165 points. Then
Well here we are on day two already, it is nice to see some people hitting their stride, but I'm noticing a reduction in production overall. So what say you guys, will you heed the call to produce all you can, or will you do the bare minimum to get by?
Let's fire through these real quick, as I'm exhausted, Shlouski takes the first place as expected but with a great production rate for the day, taking the pole position with a highly impressive 173,798,454 points. Mxyzptlk wasn't too
Well, this has come around much faster than I was anticipating, I'll be honest this will be a low-effort event, between the few sign-ups and my own personal issues going on atm I must say that I won't be the best of hosts.
But nonetheless, here we are, Summer Folding Sprint 2023. It is a little bit crazy to me to think that we are here, and with so few participants, which may be a reflection of running so soon after the BOINC event and I may have to look into changing the dates arou

with the comming of new linux users , and the existance of many chatrooms and more importantly many use `tldr` wich is much faster and easier to get what you need from then using the man pages.
even moreso when many distros dont even set up the defaults so the manpagers are colored and are just a big sea of white text . i see many who dont actually know how to use the tar command and stuff like:

and it gives an error
