usagi Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I've been running Folding@home for coming up on a week now and it is surprisingly addictive. whoever thought to add a points/ladder system was a fookin' genius because people compete for better stats and the project gets more processing power out of that competition (video card company EVGA is the #1 team on the ladder). of course distributed computing is p cool and the project itself is quite noble and has had concrete results in terms of helping push medicine forward, so I don't feel like a twat about it. it has caused me however to finally start looking seriously at overclocking my rig, and I'm disappointed to find that my CPU - and Intel's Haswell line generally, which my chip comes from - runs hot as fuck. stock speed is 3.4 Ghz and I can get it stable at just under 4.0 Ghz but I have to compromise on how much juice I dedicate to F@H otherwise the temps hit the 90C mark easily. I'm thinking about watercooling. I never wanted to be this kind of man. also a co-worker is giving me a couple of GeForce 5 video cards he doesn't use anymore and I'm tempted to build a server box with them to dedicate solely to *@home projects Edited January 23, 2015 by usagi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I pissed my gf off mostly because i've been drinking and playing video games all the week-end without her.

ambermonk Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) I pissed my gf off mostly because i've been drinking and playing video games all the week-end without her. I feel kind of stupid now and don't really know how to properly apologize Sounds like a normal male behaviour. I reckon it's not so much the drinking and gaming itself as it is not giving her enough attention that's upset her, but that's just a guess. Maybe get her flowers or chocolates or something. My latest fwip: Had a close call in my vehicle with a doge on the highway, less than an hour ago. The strange part is it was just standing right in the center of the road, as if it were in some sort of trance. It's just lucky I didn't hit it, but it was still surreal.

Perezvon Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) My job : some daily fog punctuated by lapidary directives from my boss that lead to nowhere since she appears not to live in the same reality in which my colleague and I do. Asking her about shit doesn't do much since she answers with more lapidary yet elusive shit. I don't know what to do. It's like I have to figure it all by myself. Taking initiatives and being independant, yeah sure, but I'd like a bit more of guidance pls, I'm just an intern ffs. becuoming isnane Edited January 27, 2015 by Perezvon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
