Title: RollCall & Welcome Topic for BaseCamper Trekkers
Post by: Ken on November 01, 2009, 05:57:45 PM
Greetings Team!

We'll use this topic for an 'official' roll-call and welcome thread for our BaseCamp Trekkers as they show up for the Trek that's scheduled for here on Our FamilyForum and will start on November 23rd and run through December 5th. We can expect lots of activity during that two week period here in the Team boards and in our points production.

As each Trekker signs up I'll keep the list of names in this OP updated, plus we can post a welcome message for each of them as desired. Replies in this topic are welcome of course, but we'll have another topic for the random chit-chat that Trekkers love to engage in.  :08:

Les...there really isn't difference; I just keep track of what BC does  and how much they help the Host... on this one I'll list Ken and LW in my books ...but ALL points for WCG go to the FF team...It can get complicated!!!  Where it makes a difference is if you should follow us to another trek. There I would check if you have registered @ BC and therefore A BC trekker or just another new member at that team....dl1000v comes under that category for this trek...unless I hear different dl1Kv has no affiliation with BaseCamp



BTW guys ...nice layout on the boards ...easy to read and not too busy    :cheers:

Not quite sure what you mean Keith, I didn't know there was difference!

Les, the way it is now is this; you're on the FF team so you don't need to do anything other than what you are already doing. If at some point in the future you decide that you want to become a BC'er we can give you the links to read up on how that works.

For now you're good just the way you are.  :bigthumb:

EDIT: I'll try to catch you on Skype and explain all the details.
Title: Re: RollCall & Welcome Topic for BaseCamper Trekkers
Post by: Sport on November 13, 2009, 08:43:54 PM
I guess that's a no!! technically ...Ken an LW should be FF but they have crunched BC before ...

BaseCamp is a group that are now a part of FF individually...but we keep track of what we do as a group


With SeriousCrunchers...most are BC ...I grant credit if we trek @ SC.....don't worry about it Les


@ BigFoot... did you get my PM???...Share with LW

Technically my home team is PCHF so here I'm a Base Camper or a friend stopping by to crunch.  :08:

That's provided one can be viewed as having a home team when they're on the road all the time.   :rofl:

I hope you guys don't mind if I immitate your Forum layout.  I am having all sorts of problems with my own forum (even the backup is corrupt, pphBB) and need to start afresh. Luckily as my team is only new I was the only poster to date therefore not much loss... :angle2:

Pete, if your forum has very little content then it would indeed be a good time to think in another direction. The software that we use here is SMF (it's free) and TinyPortal and some of our FF members and me are on the TP support team so we'll be able to point you in the right direction should you need assistance.  :disted:

I've gotta sign off now, but if you are interested or have questions just let me know and I'll try to help tomorrow.
Title: Re: RollCall & Welcome Topic for BaseCamper Trekkers
Post by: Sport on November 13, 2009, 10:29:18 PM
BaseCamp...here's the deal.
 Sujo contacted me a week or so ago explaining that he would be MIA for the first week of  FF trek ( daughter getting married ..a funeral or something)

 and asked me if I would accommodate him starting a week early / dismiss the first week/ and let him come back onboard the 2nd week ... I agreed that I can do this in the Stats ...several different ways ........This is a one off and I can handle it



Point is if you happen spot some freaky  stuff regarding Sujo1 stats.....I have it under control...the bottom line will be right!!!!!


( I just finished the rewrite of the books ...I impressed myself!!!!!!)

welcome2 to Our Family Forum dl1000v

Hello everyone! Thanks for the freindly welcome! I've been crunching for Wcgrid for a long time, but I am new to teams. Can someone give me a quick overview of what base camping and treks are?

Thanks!
Title: Re: RollCall & Welcome Topic for BaseCamper Trekkers
Post by: Sport on November 15, 2009, 03:30:17 PM
@dl1000v


....Basically ...BaseCamp is a bunch of misfits with various computational powers; from various established WCG teams, like this one...that get together a few times per year and join a selected team to boost their stats,standings,visibility...whatever! during the Holiday season we tend to act like Santa ....

A trek is the physical influx where we join the victim errr...beneficiary of the pre-chosen team/project!! It's all in fun ...but for the betterment of the team/project we have chosen too help---An awful lot of preplanning goes on behind the scenes at our secret batcave!!!!

The trek here @ Our FamilyForum is scheduled to start at 00:01 11/22/09 in earnest
with probably 15-20 BC Campers joining in; I keep a set of books so that we have bragging rights to what we have done as a group and individually. At the end of the trek we build and select 'merit badges' for the recently completed trek that we can display in the 'BatCave'

@BC...
did I miss anything ..or misrepresent???
Title: Re: RollCall & Welcome Topic for BaseCamper Trekkers
Post by: Ken on November 15, 2009, 06:26:47 PM
You done good Sport.  :bigthumb:

dl1000v, we're glad to have you here the FamilyForum team and hope you stay with us of course, but it's always an individual decision for anyone who is donating their computing cycles as you are now doing. Most people join a team as you've done here with us on the FF and then stay there for the duration and that's how it has been for me and my 'core' members for almost 10 years now. During that time we've been through many changes as a team and had lots of adventures, but the central focus has always remained the same... we work as a team doing this Crunching thing hoping that we help find some cures for cancer.

But we sometimes have a little fun along the way!  :08:
Through the years we've known about and witnessed the fun work the the BaseCampers do when they do a Trek, where they join a team for a week or two or three and give the host team a big blast of points and try to generate interest within the host teams forum membership by doing lots of posting in topics like this one. What you are seeing now is the buildup to the BC Trek that is about to happen for us here on Our FamilyForum...(November 22, 2009 to December 5, 2009) and this topic and several others in this 'Cancer Research Team' board are all dedicated to the BC'ers and their efforts on our behalf as they do the Trek.

When the Trek is over you will be most welcome to stay with us here on the FF team and you would be welcome to participate in any part of the forum/site but as mentioned before, it's strictly your decision. You are a part of the FF membership of course and I've currently placed you in the 'BaseCamper' membergroup because you joined the FF team and then joined the FF site during the same time as lots of BC'ers were joining, but if you would like that can be changed to one of our regular membergroup categories, just say the word and it will be made so.

Please feel free to post any questions or comments that you have, someone will always try to give you a good answer.  riteon

Thanks for the info. So.... if I want to trek wtih you guys, do I need to do anything? Is there a trek list of what teams your visiting and do I need to quit this team and join the one we are trekking to, or does the FF team as a whole automatically drag me around wtih them on treks, for lack of a better phrase!

We all have home teams that we reside at when we are not involved in a trek.  For you that's been Our Family Forum.   When we go on a trek we have to leave our home team for the amount of time that we've decided to trek and join the target team then when we are done we rejoin our home team.

Some Base Campers have a lot of hardware and choose to dedicate a certain amount to a trek while they leave other machines at home or other projects while some take the whole herd along.    The choice is up to the individual.

If you'd like to participate in treks then follow the link and instructions Sport has given you.   :wink2:

....do I need to quit this team and join the one we are trekking to


in a nutshell....  YES   There will always be instructions and links @BaseCamp

participation is strictly voluntary; after(or during) a given trek you can always quit the target team and join/rejoin any project/team you wish; your statistics to date will still be logged in the trek Stats books which are posted on BaseCamp as well as @ seriouscrunchers.net; a copy is also available to the target team

Les you can run all of those under a separate name for each one if you wish, but what lots of people do is run them all under one name, or log-in... that makes book keeping lots simpler for all involved by keeping all of your production together under that one name.

well my lappy is under lesmonds already, I was running that when my D/Top was in the shop, we got my daughters lappy here and my sons D/top plus lisa's Lappy, so I could sign up Lisa, Kris and Stacey under under there names, will see what they say first Ken.

Which ever way you want to do it is OK Les, if each PC is under one family members name then that family member gets credit for their work under their own name instead of having it all lumped together.

When I do the stats charts for us here on the FF each member will get their own line in the chart if the PC is listed under their name, that way they can see how they are doing from from week to week.
Lisa, Kris and Stacey are welcome to join the forum membership if they want to, but they will be able to see the stats whether they do or not.

This is a concept I've never encountered before ... incorporation of host users input individually ...that's a rewrite I'm not looking forward too, although all of your contributions will be incorporated as part of the "Host" portion which is part of the books ....hhhmmmm I need to look into this farther....thinking...this could be doable...just don't expect it on this trek

I Can do this with host teams at around 20~ Max 30 members (( Any more is just too labor intensive )).....It'll be a 2 week minimum 'Free Time' (when I'm not crunched with current books) rewrite and double the size of the books from 1 Meg to 2 Meg or more with the added Graphics

Sport I may not be understanding correctly what you're saying, but there's no need to alter your SOP on the stats that you produce for a Trek... we'll still have our own 'in house' charts that I'll be doing that will list each of our FF regulars and that will track their output during the Trek and the charts will include the BC'ers of course. If I'm understanding correctly your stats will cover the event from the BC'er perspective and mine will cover the Trek from the FF perspective.

To give everything balance we could maybe coordinate our stats postings, maybe even include them into one post but however we do them it should be easy and fun without having to do major changes to the way you would normally do things.  :bigthumb:

I've notice in browsing on the Base camp forum, that there is a rule there about not passing the #1 crunchers position, "Gentlemenly crunching", is that the case here? I don't want to step on any toes.

Ken (GPa Ken) the leader; has dismissed this rule ...KICK ASS!!!!!....

At future treks....with your history, this could be an issue ...there have been instances where that has created problems....Also you joined the team prior to the Trek start...and commited to remain as a home member; so there should be no problems ....final decision to be make by OFF of course!!!!!

Sport is correct, it has been mentioned before and likely will be again that although we are a very small team at this point in our history we have been around for a good long time now and our core membership has seen the ebb and flow of life in the Crunching wars...  we will be unfazed by who ranks where on a list because we Crunch for the Cure and that's all that matters.

So, bring your big guns and let those big dogs show what they can do with no worries about us locals!  :08:

It's All Good

Instead of getting the BSOD it went directly to the shut down screen for a split seccond and then shut down the machine.

Good morning.    :breakfastgif:



I OC'd my CPU to a point where Win 7 didn't like it and it hosed the operating system.

Had to do a reinstall as the repair function said it couldn't repair it.

Well that sucks but is nice to know. I don't OC CPUs but I do the GPU's. If it blows up, EVGA Precision brings it back up at the -1 settings. I was curious why it doesn't blue screen in Win7. Thanks for the info.

Well I can only share what happened to me so far and when that OC failed I got a blue screen which simply stated that windows had been shut down due to an error and it took me a while to figure out that it was a polite way of saying sorry bud but you hosed your operating system so start over.   :yikes:

That's interesting. I'm using Win7 on 13 machines since they are free (until the RC runs out). I had BSOD in two machines and they both referred back to my NVIDIA card which is not overclocked. One of them is GTX250 and the other is GTX260. I think the drivers might have something to do with this or the applications I am using it on (GPUGrid).  The other 11 machines are chugging along nicely on any old card...

I'm using nVidia 191.07 driver and CUDA 2.3 .dll's. I haven't looked lately for updates. GPUGrid is rock solid now. It's probably  been 2 months since I had a bad wu. I gave up on Milkyway and Collatz as they are so unstable for me.

Great picks of the nike base BF. Thanks! Looks like San Francisco. The SF nike base is now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. I've been there many times as I use to live in Corte Madera. BTW: The Sate of California may still "not exist" due to our massive budgetary crisis. Mexico may do a hostile takeover.  :rofl: :belly: :rofl:

With all those whining about getting up early, it shows our age, and also proves that we are survivors;

We are Survivors

We were born before the TV age, before polio shots, plastics, contact lenses, frisbees and the pill.
We were before refrigerators, tumble dryers, electric blankets, air conditioners, credit cards, ballpoint pens and before man walked on the moon.
We got married first and then lived together.  How quant can you be?
In our time, closets were for clothes, not for "coming out of".  Bunnies were small rabbits and dishes were for washing not for receiving programs from outer space.  Designer Jeans were scheming girls, and having a meaningful relationships meant getting along well with your cousins.
We thought fast food was what you ate during Lent and cold turkey was what you ate on Boxing Day.
We were before house-husbands, gay rights, computer dating, dual careers and commuter marriages.
Divorce was something that happened to film stars.  We were before day-care centers, group therapy and nursing homes.
We played with Dinky toys, wore liberty-bodices, and took a daily dose of cod liver oil and malt.
We drank Ovaltine, ate porridge, and listened to Dick Barton, the Goon Show, Workers' Playtime and Housewives's choice.
We had never heard of Radio1, tape decks, electric typewriters, artificial hearts, word processors or yoghurt.
For us, time-sharing meant togetherness, not a Spanish holiday homes; a chip meant a piece of wood, hardware meant a shop where you bought hammers and nails, and software wasn't even a word!
In 1945 "Made in Japan" meant poor quality and the Koreans and Taiwanese hadn't even started production.
Pizzas, Macdonald's and instant coffee were unheard of.
We were born when everything in Woolworths cost one penny.  For sixpence, you could take a tram ride, go to the cinema and buy an ice cream.
In our day cigarette smoking was fashionable, grass was mowed, coke was a cold drink and pot was something you cooked in. 
Rock music was a lullaby and AIDS were for those with hearing difficulties.
We were certainly not before the difference between the sexes we discovered, but we were surely before the sex change; we made do with what we had, and we were the last generation to think you needed a husband to have a baby!
We typed letter with manual typewriters, did computations by hand, and used carbon paper to make copies.
We used telephones without buttons or dials and Fax was something you looked up in the encyclopaedia.
We did business with handshakes and trust and somehow it all worked and we survived....

This is simply AWESOME ....((did anyone else come home to 1/2 the farm down because of UpDate Tuesday?))


BTW ....I have an ERROR some place ...I'm showing that BC consistently produces more than the entire OFF team, including base camp and  the margin is growing! It appears I'm counting someone twice...anyone see any anomalies in their scores?...someone in the 3-5K/day arena

This could be the situation with SUJO... but I balanced that out ...I thought...if it is SUJO it should be back to normal by the first of next week


Ladies and Gentlemen, I do appreciate you catching my errors ...I found a lot of them and know I didn't find all; but you have really helped on this!

@ GPU Crunchers: Einstein now has a GPU app. Preliminary results are disappointing. First it is nVidia only (sorry ATI crunchers). Worse, it uses an entire core as well as the card. Last credits appear to be bad. I ran one for 10 hours and the pending credit is 61.32  :cry2: Compare this to Milkyway that used 0.34 core/1 gpu, ran for 4;27 minutes for 53:45 pending credits. Good news is you can use 9xxxGT cards but they may run for days.


EDIT: Hit enter before I was done.

EDIT 2: Granted credit was 250.00. Not very good for 10 hours use of a card and a core ... as bad as WCG.  :rofl: Oh well at least there is one more GPU option.
Raining here.  pcorn

Haven't changed a thing since the start of the trek actually.

I do get fluctuations though because output is dependent on how much or little my offspring use their PC's for gaming.

not in my time with BC ...usually around 8-12

I'm not aware of anyone else expected as I've tried to round up all I can but we're good for one more in any case.   :bigteeth:

There was a point where I didn't think we'd hit 25 but now it is indeed possible.

I don't think you need worry about redoing the books until next time though.

hurrah for the 2% club :campfire:
Lets take a look at the numbers:

(https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi643.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fuu159%2FSCSport%2FPie112809.png&hash=b6fda5db6e1a3311287e69fccb7dba5f0565b97e)

First lets realize we have 24 Campers and 100% of a pie; agreed?  Which means in a perfect world we would each have just a little over 4%

Now if we take into account that Rammie@ 29%; Cruncher Pete has 15%; and dl..... has 13% as of 11/28 End Of Business...that means these 3 have 57% of the pie, which leaves 43% for the other 21 of us simple math says that if we each got an equal portion then that portion would be 2.0476191%  BUT LW and DM are each hogging 7% Novice has 6% and Paulie has 5% !!!

Being a 2%er is definitely not a bad thing!!!!!

Being a Cruncher is Definitely a GOOD thing!!!!!

No they aren't.   :cheers:

Every work unit counts and there's far more crunchers around the globe with just one or two PC's running than there are mega crunchers with large herds.

The way I look at it you run what you can.

I've grown a fair bit since I started crunching a decade ago but there's always endless amounts of individuals that make me feel tiny.

I'm taking a whooping from four or five people regularly in this trek but it's all good.   :bigteeth:

I sold 2 laptops, a 1.4 and a 1.7 mg machines, during this trek to help finance another Phenom X4.....it's alway a revolving situation...we grow as we can and that as an end never ends!

Amen to that.

I find that generally when I manage to upgrade the big dogs ahead of me wind up doing the same so generally I just have to upgrade to keep my spot.    :bigteeth:

No, much more than that.
Well, going out of town, off and on, for the next couple of weeks. I have to shut down the server room but will keep the weather machine up in the office. Have a great holliday OFF and campers too. This was a good run. A BC classic me thinks.
You have a great team here BF/Ken. Keep it going. I shall check back from time to time. Cast my vote for Mousie/Pinky's original badge ... the others are cluttered.

Happy New Year!

In a word ... No!  :rofl:
I'll still be around for the rest of the trek with some resources. I just don't like to go away with everything running. Those 1000W PS's scare me.  :belly: I can still check the forums with the hand held (or other peeps computers  :2funny:)
Enjoy the Holidays.

It is nearing Trek time again, so I will be leaving.  This is a good team and I have enjoyed crunching here.  I'll drop by again sometimes.

CRUNCH hard and CRUNCH often.

Been getting into photography lately and have finally learned a lot. Before I just couldn't understand apertures, f-stops, etc. but now am finally getting the hang of it. :)

Other than that, just the usual...too much work and not enough pay. LOL
