And that's Moto GP! Yeah I know how you feel but we have to let those sadsack F1 boys have a play in their little carbon fibre boxes or they get upset. :lol:

Hot and drought right now.
Were 8 inches below normal on rain for the year already.Temps in the 90 to 100f range. Setting records almost daily.
Next week things get back to normal with temps in the mid 80's and a good chance for a shower each day.Down to the upper 60s to low 70s at night.Mostly green and lush in this area .Lots of rivers and streams.
Plenty of wildlife, grouse, quail, pheasant, turkey ,deer, cayote, bobcat, bear, mountain lion ,eagle,osprey a variety of hawks. Lots of good fishing from sunfish(bream).catfish,bass, and several species of trout.
Our main "industry" is tourism with lots of small towns arround 20 miles apart. (1 day horse travel).
Have traved all over the North and Central America,my wife has also traveled most of Europe. Neither of us have found a place we would rather live.
Four distinct seasons, but none are severe.

We gets lots of rain throught the year. About 65 inches on average. But most of it is in rain storms and showers.
Rain like hell for an hour and dumps 1 to 3 inches, then a few minutes later back to clear and sunny.

Do you have somewhere we could hold an international road racing event? 😀

 

[Unolocogringo]

We have several great roads for sports cars and bikes.
Highway 60 is 47 miles of twisting turning curves through the mountains and valleys. Not many areas for spectators though, Rated one of the best Biker roads in the country.
Hwy 180 is about 12 miles of hairpins through the mountains also. Very fun roads to drive.
For Racing we have Road Atlanta.
http://www.roadatlanta.com/
This is about an hour,45 miles southeast of me.

You may or may not have noticed my points take a dive. I am experiencing technical difficulties. No eta for when I'll have it going again. But it will be going again.

News Update 7-9-12

 

[EXT64]

Interesting news warmon. And lucky you beano, I thought that they had 'fixed' that WU already. I guess they will soon, they seem to 'fix' the high PPD WUs much faster than the low PPD WUs. :lol:

Anything the team can do to help out?

This is a team effort not a bunch of individuals anymore.

Nothing worse than forgetting to stop the core before shutting down the computer and losing 8 hours of number crunching because the client is seemingly incapable of recovering from checkpoints. 🙁

Thanks Rick, but I got it. I am just waiting for a cable. Once I get that I can determine exactly what I screwed up and whether I need a new PSU or not. Either way I should be back up and running in a week or so.

 

[EXT64]

I've had pretty good luck with unexpected kills recovering (lost power a few times last week due to storms). However, if the shutdown occurs while it is writing the restart file, then the work is lost.

They should add an option that you can enable which will prevent (or at least attempt to prevent) Windows shutting down without you first confirming it. FAHControl uses .NET which should make it relatively easy to implement.

Obviously this won't help with power outages.

 

[beanoslim]

Anyone else getting large gpu wu's.

I haven't folded any gpu for a while but thought Id try one and it was a 10 hr stint!

Theres a whole stack of teams coming up to pass in quick succession.

Fire it up [:wr2]

 

[lilcinw]

^ I have noticed a long lag in submissions for the past few days. I assume it is my GPUs since that is where I get 90% of my points but I haven't had time to check it lately.
