Alright everyone! You’re favorite @HoldSquat is BACK! Though I know you love when @Lightwreather and @TheLANguy blog, lets be serious, I am the favorite.....but they are awesome and I love their work. ANYWAYS! We are almost finished and nothing has happened today so far! What a relief! At least for some of us, @HeavensLastHope might have had their flight delayed, and can hopefully crank out 2 WUs a day while on their trip! That said, lets get to talking about today's folding! Oh and while I wri
Hello fantastic folding folks! It is I, @TheLANguy! I just had to write a blog for this event. By the way, hasn't @HoldSquat been doing a great job taking the lead on this event? I'd say so! As I'm writing today, I'm listening to this tech discussion with Luke. Honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of the hosts.

In case you have not been keeping track, Team LTT had quite a 2025. Depending on who you ask, we either broke a lot of things or were just unlucky. During the

Alright Day 2 done but it’s Monday, How’s everyone doing going back to work?? Let me comfort you with knowing that ya’ll are kicking some butt. An additional 255 WUs was completed today bringing today’s total to 2,519 WUs! Looking at EOC you can see a dramatic jump in work the team has done!

As for what I am listening to while doing this blog, I went
Day 1 is complete! But I have a question, is there something called a Super Bowl going on right now? I thought I heard something about it but kinda distracted by chasing WUs with my old free Optiplexes right now. That said, I am listening to some Bad Bunny while writing this blog and honestly enjoying it. Has a lot of Salsa and Reggaeton influence that I would listen to as child. Take a listen below to some of his music.
Lets get to the top WU lovers today! In first

This month the team has produced 798,286,209 credits. This makes us the 26th biggest producer this month. The team remains in 57th place with 82,486,951,877 credits. I'm hoping we can hit 100,000,000,000 credits this year!
Now, for the first time in 2026, let's take a look at the top ten biggest producers on the team this January! I reall
Happy new year folding folks!
I thought that it would be fun to take a look back what the folding team did in 2025!
The team ended the year with 3,652,326,473,088 points and 49,666,071 WUs! This means that we earned 761,185,855,224 points this year! Team LTT is technically in third place with Banano and the Default (Team 0) ahead. In my eyes, we are number one team that doesn't pay or automatically acquire it's members! At the moment, the team has 112,225 members with 930 of them activ

Welcome everyone to the awards ceremony for Folding Month VIII! As I previously mentioned, we are going to do it a bit different this year! When writing the daily blogs, I always feel sad that I can't mention everyone. I decided that for the final blog, everyone should be included! Every guest blogger has joined in to help make this possible!
As for music, I'm listening to the first half of the WAN show from Friday. It was wayyy too early. I'm also listening to a variety Christmas CD
Good evening folding folks! THERE ARE LESS THAN 24 HOURS LEFT! BEGIN THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! Your system or systems have been powered on and folding for over a month. This is the ultimate stress test for any hardware. Even our internal Google sheet that runs tons of formulas to tallys up points, WU, ranks, and many other things is loading much slower! With 24 hours left, now is your final chance to gain one more rank! Now is your final chance to reach a point milestone! Let's make this the final pu
As of now there are TWO DAYS LEFT!!! That's only 48 more hours of folding. Today another 7 members have qualified. That means that 248 participants have qualified! I look forward to seeing more people qualify in the coming days. In total, the team has produced 4,900,113,979 points and 9,640 WUs today. That makes our team total 220,867,544,540 points. The top 100 claims 89.74% of the daily total and the top ten claims 57.90% of the daily total. It's at this point many people start slowing down th
Good evening fascinatingly fancy folding fanatics! Oh no. We are not doing this again. I will NOT be editing everyone's profile pic on to suits like I did for the midweek madness. How about we talk about something else... Oh! Happy Business of Popping Corn Day! I just learned about that one today. If you don't believe me, look it up! It's a real thing. I love some popcorn every so often. Anyone else a corn popping enthusiast?
Today I have taken some inspiration from @autoxbird. I'm l

Welcome to the monthly blog. Let's take a look at what's going on in the World of BOINC!
November Stats Breakdown
This month the team has produced 654,604,060 credits. This makes us the 99th biggest producer this month. That's quite a drop from our usual ranking in the 20s. This is of course because of the annual folding month which leads to many folks to only fold. No need for concern. The team remains in 57th place as we slowly get closer to overtaking Czech
Good evening folding folks! We have now completed our first day of December folding. Another 23 folders have qualified today! That's not the only reason to celebrate! The team has crossed the 200 billion point threshold today! One particular team member may also be celebrating...
But before we get into all the details, I mustn't break tradition. Today I'm listening to the 70s station on SiriusXM.
It feels weird that the event has been running for a month now! It both feels like
Good evening! Every year a few people get confused. The event has NOT ended. Despite it being called "Folding Month" the event runs for an additional five days. These bonus days are great for making up for any inactive days and to climb a few more ranks! The event ends on December 6th at 00:00 UTC. Maybe I can pass @DEWY and @Roflwaffle17. I'm quite lucky that @LAR_Systems has calmed down. He was on a rampage for a while there. So far, 205 have qualified! That's 55.5555555555555555% of all parti
Good evening fantabulous folding folks! I hope everyone is doing well. We are just one day away from people beginning to qualify for the event! (Per the 30 days of activity requirement.) That leaves us six more days in the event!
Today I'm listening to some KISS! It's killer music for vacuuming the house and for blog writing. I am mostly listening to the ALIVE albums. They are one of those bands that just sound better live.

Hi my fellow carbon based life forms,
Sorry you have my horde of wild monkeys on typewriters (who are mad because I pay them peanuts in peanuts), dad jokes/cringe, Oh and ME tonight.
LAN is ..... Not here I hope he has already started baking a GIANT "lie" with candles to blow out, (hoping for double chocolate myself) for the final post in just over a week from now.
As a homage to LAN, my cheaty bread maker is on with a white loaf for later this morning. I recommend 30-45 mins bef
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all have had a nice day and spent some quality time with family and/or friends. I'm so glad to celebrate with the team tonight. For all of the non American folders... Happy black Friday? May your RAM prices be low! I've spent the day with family and haven't done a whole lot. I watched the parade and the lip synced performances. I found the tiny goldfish float quite funny. I must admit, my favourite thing to watch isn't the parade; it's the dog show afterwards! (Des
Hello All, LAN’s taking a well earned night off, so I’m back as guest writer and this time I’ve thought up an interesting plan.
However before I get to that, I have to advertise my somewhat embarrassing music taste. Tonight I'm listening to the soundtrack to “The Orville: New Horizons”. I especially like Scott Grimes’ and Anne Winters’ duet, “Flowers Never Bend With the Rainfall”. Very good show, would recommend. Go watch it so it gets renewed for a 4th season.
Moving on swi
Good evening folks! Today I'm writing on location on my T480. The HP Pavilion's battery can no longer hold a charge and it has been taken out of commission. It's plenty powerful enough and can run off of battery for twelve hours. Let's hope Windows update doesn't strike the main system while I'm away.
At the moment I'm listening to the second half of the WAN show from Friday. I was only able to catch the first hour live. Yes, I watch on YouTube.

This is @TheLANguy here coming to you LIVE from folding month VIII. Let's just say things are wild! It's practically an open secret at this point that the folding team has the craziest parties on the forum. GPUs, CPUs, WUs, what's not to love!
Today I'm listening to The Essential Perry Como. I'm sure you have all heard Perry before, he has the best version of There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays. Frank Sinatra is great, but Perry is my favorite of the crooners.
