I need to take my foot off the gas once again. I should be able to keep at least on card going 24/7. I am trying to get my electric bill under $125. i just upped my 401k contribution from 8% to 15% so money is going to be a bit tighter. I figure buy in while the stocks are cheap, so a few years from now it will pay off nicely (knock on wood)

sidelined... as with everything else in my life for the last month or so. I'm trying to keep the rigs running, but I haven't spent an hour total on the computer in the last month probably. I see that my average has tanked over the last few days... i guess having every rig but one not folding will do that.

I'm trying to hold on for now... got a letter from the power company last week that we are going to see a 13% increase in rates. wee! *sigh*

I've been trying to increase my folding lately. Especially since i got my SLI going on it. Today for some reason my points haven't updated. Been folding since 2am and no updates for me yet..all looks well so I guess when it does update it's gonna be a mean one

We got a lot of teams that are getting ready to take over us. One of them include us, Canadian folders at Hardware Canucks. Currently, they have a contest going on right now and the prizes are an ASUS GTX260 C216 and a GTX285 ULTIMATE. They're pushing out 190k PPD more than us, and will overtake LR within 3.8 months.
On a side note, my friend will be hitting 1 million soon. He doesn't go on the forums but he's crazy with his Q6600 + GTX260. Or was it a GTX280...
