Whats up everyone! @HoldSquat here yet again. Let’s get right to it and talk about the coming and going the past 24 hours of folding month! The team as a whole has put out 11,053,901,627 points! Crushing 28,465 WUs today! I am so impressed by the team right now! Ya’ll have been killing it! Lets keep it going for the next week! Right now we are looking at around 214 Folders qualifying for/upgrading their folding badge next Sunday. Then of course more by the end of the event!
Alright a
Good evening everyone! Welcome to week four. We are now 22 days into folding month. That's at least 528 hours of constant folding! That leaves us another 13 days left in the event. That's nearly another two weeks! There is still plenty of time for the ranks to shift in this marathon. Luckily the hall of the dead has remained silent despite the amount of work everyone's PC is doing. Hopefully it will stay this way. Keep it steady!
A few days ago a friend of mine was complaining about
Ya know that feeling? When ya get so angry that when it subsides you feel like an empty husk?
Ya know that feeling? When you wish to fight for something, but all you do comes to naught?
Ya know that feeling? When the waves overwhelm, and there lay not a boat in sight? When the fires engulf, but the chill winds that be only stoke them ever higher? When the hope that ye hold, seems to grow strangely dim?
To let go would seem such sweet release, to cease enduring and sink to the depths of th
Good evening ladies, gentlespoons and all other forms of cutlery! Did you know that today is name your PC day? I didn't. If you don't believe me, look it up! Who is coming up with all of these days?! This makes me wonder; how many of you have named your PC? The whole idea makes a lot of sense. Most of us have designed and built a unique system to fit our needs. It ought to have a name! It also makes managing your network much easier. When I see "Deskop-BuNcHaLettersAndNum53r5" and "Deskop-BuNcHa
That's the problem with replacing your drawer all at the same time. It seems like every day I'm discovering a hole in the pair I'm wearing. Over the last few weeks I must have thrown away at least nine socks after discovering holes in them. It's ridiculous! I've already ordered and received reinforcements. The only problem is that they are EXTREMELY slippery. This is sure to cause some issues. Why am I ranting about my sock woes? Have I ran out of things to write about? Does anyone actually read
Good evening everyone! We will not be doing any cooking today. You all made a complete mess and didn't clean up anything! While you all were feasting on your creations of yeast, I was cleaning the dishes! This is folding month after all. I can't spend an entire blog post talking about bread! How about a tech related fun fact? On this day in 1963 the first push-button telephone system was rolled out to customers in Pennsylvania by Bell System. Push button phones really gained widespread adoption
Welcome to LAN's kitchen and happy national homemade bread day! Although I didn't have the time to make any bread today, I'll surely be eating some with dinner. I'm a huge fan of bread. Oh! I have an interesting fact about today too! On this day in 1970 (55 years ago) Douglas Engelbart received the patent for the computer mouse. This was 14 years before it was brought to the masses with the release of the Apple Macintosh. Check out the patent images!

Good evening everyone! Welcome to week three of folding month! 286 people are still on track to qualifying. Yesterday we had a 10 billion point day which is double our previous top day. Today the team has earned 10,689,587,020 points!!! That makes today our best day in recorded team history! The extreme overclocking graph is quite a sight to see. The new event total is 76,319,405,077 point. That makes the average points per participant 206,827,656! You may be asking yourself how such a feat is p
Hey ya'll! Time to come and pop a squat again, It's Holdsquat with today's epic folding blog! With epic in mind, right now I am listening to the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 soundtrack. I haven’t made it far in the game yet, and Folding Month isn't helping that, but I have loved the soundtrack. Check it out below while you read away.
Lets jump right into what @Spotty has caused today(maybe)! I like to think he lit a fire under @Stobin when he offered him a custom badge
Good evening ladies, gentlespoons and all other forms of cutlery. Good morning Europe! Another day of foldin' has come to a close. The team is on a roll producing another 4,751,238,538 points within the last 24 hours. That adds to the team total of 55,576,248,444 points and 130,393 WUs completed so far. That makes our new average point per person 150,613,139 points! Geez! That's enough to earn a silver contributor badge! It's hard to believe that we are already two weeks into folding month! We n
That's what greeted all of us when we went to check in on the happenings. All was quiet on the usually active folding month thread. There were two different error screens I saw. The first was the Cloudflare "Web server is down" which I first saw when checking the forum before heading to bed at about 9:00 UTC. I pinged @Dr. Will0hlep but wasn't too concerned. The message was still there when I woke up. That's when I realized the forum might be down for a while. Around midday PST there was a diffe
Good evening! Did any of you catch the solar storm/northern lights last night? After writing the blog yesterday, I went outside with camera in hand. Unfortunately it was much to foggy and the general light pollution didn't help. I tried taking a few long exposures but it was more of nothing. Most of the people who saw it seem to be in the US midwest. Were any of you able to see it? I'd love to see some photos! Today was an interesting one. I met a guy working on a car design game in pre pre alph
Hello everyone, I bear stark news. It's back. The monster. This monster has been a part of every folding month. And I certainly wasn't handing it an invitation. Every year, it takes many systems down. I fear that many of you have already been struck and will only realize once you look at the daily stats. It lurks silently and pounces on the second Tuesday of every given month. It is the dreaded patch Tuesday! For all of the Windows folders, I ask that you pause updates for the next four weeks. T
Good evening everyone! I hope you all are having a great start of the week. The team is on a roll producing an additional 4,784,099,596 points today. That's a bit less than yesterday, but with Stobin's current shenanigans, I think another 5 billion point day is still in the cards. This adds to the event total of 37,167,527,845 points and 87,229 work units. That makes a new average of 100,725,008 points per person! Woah!
Now where are my manners? I completely forgot to tell you what
Hello everyone! It is I, TheLANguy. I'm back and ready to roll! Sorry for not being around as much the last few days. I have been recovering from a little surgery and getting plenty of rest. Big thanks to our guest blog writers, @HoldSquat, @Lightwreather, and @Dr. Will0hlep! I hope you have enjoyed their different writing styles. I sure have! I should be around for the rest of the event with the exception of a guest host here and there.
As I write I'm listening to the end of the Fr
Hey all. Apparently, LAN has temporarily taken leave of his senses and decided to let me write one of these blogs. Mad right. No idea what he was thinking, but he’s made that decision now, so there is nothing he can do to stop me. Insert evil laugh here. So sit back, relax, and enjoy spotting all my obvious dyslexic speling nd gramer misstakes.
Now as is traditional, I start this blog by sharing what I’m listening too. And while normally that would be nothing, today of all days I am actua
The first words of an adventure are perhaps the hardest to pen, and especially so for a Creature well past his bedtime…
Welcome dear readers, whatever flavour of time it is, to this tale—a tale of fires stoked in the bellies of mechanical beasts, a tale of competition fierce, where allies turn on the other, pressuring bad financial decisions (the horror!) and yet beneath it all an undercurrent of camaraderie; and above all, a tale unlike any heard before.
What’s this?

Hey everyone! Come and pop a squat, it's guest blogger time! HoldSquat here to fill you up on today’s happening during folding month! If you're looking for something to listen to after catching up using this blog, right now as I am writing I am listening to Darknet Diaries Episode 164 - Confessions of a Chronic Card Skimmer. I enjoy Darknet Diaries and if you like that episode make sure you check out the episode 102 - Money Maker; It's one of my favorites.
As a team
Good evening everyone! Day five has now come to a close. Do you know what that means? It means that if you have not started folding yet, now is the time to start! In order to qualify for prizes and badges you must have had activity on at least 30 days. With the event running 35 days, now is the time to start! I'm looking at you @3D Printed Save Button, @80thRaptor, @A.G.N.I gaming, @Alcohology, @Anaconda101, @AP-Techhead, @atarigalore, @AwesomenessZ, @Brayden137, @Cadoon, @CgnTech, @CoffeeKeeper
Good evening folding fanatics! I think I've already said this but it's worth saying again. Now is the time to get more hardware online! If you get the hardware folding now, it's going to net wayy more points than waiting until the last minute. It certainly doesn't hurt to call in a favor. 😉 If all goes well, I should have a 2080 up and running tomorrow. Watch out sbx34 and TVwazhere!
As I write, I'm listening to my greatest hits CD of Crosby Stills Nash. Usual Spotify link

Good evening everyone! I hope everyone has had a good Monday. I must admit the time change messed me up for yesterdays stat grab. There is plenty of action to report on today! And no, I'm not talking about flying deer or squirrels. I'm also not talking about JamesTheWolf's shattered dreams of receiving 500 ladybugs a 5090. Although all of these situations are truly tragic.
Today I'm listening to the Simon and Garfunkel album "Parsley, Sage Rosemary and Thyme" as I write. It's a bit
Good evening folks! I hope you all have had a nice Sunday. The second day of folding is now on the board and there is plenty to report on! Many more systems have now come alive and are busy folding.
I've had a relaxing day cleaning up the house and preparing for the week ahead. I've been prepping a beef stew in the crockpot all day and just finished serving it. The house has been staying warm thanks to my 4070 and 4060ti working hard. As I write today I'm listening to Ringo Starr's n
