  1. windows XP! :P that's still around? i joined i'll be here and there sorry if i don't respond right away

    Can't teach a old dog new tricks :P I tried 7 and Vista don't like either. Actually I prefer Linux but I always keep a XP box for convenience :tard: Welcome to the channel btw :thumbsup:

  2. I recently talked to CA3LE about setting up a official IRC room for TMN. He agreed it would be a good idea so I have went ahead and started setting it up. IRC is old school chat but still used by a huge amount of people. It is a great way to hangout and talk in real time and very easy to idle in. I have many fun things planned for the channel such as some games, quotes system, F@H tracking, poker, and more just take a little time to get it going.

    How can I join?

    For those of you that know IRC the information is:

    Server: irc.dal.net

    Channel: #TMN

    There are many different options but for now I am going to list just 2 of the easiest and most popular, mIRC and Mibbit.

    mIRC

    By far the better choice of the two. You can download it here http://www.mirc.com/ Install it and open it and you will be greeted with a screen something like this:

    post-60-0-74866100-1323472538_thumb.jpg

    Now you need to choose/add the server you want to connect to. In this case it is irc.dal.net So click "server" and choose Dalnet than Random Server (it will automatically connect you to the server closest to you) than click "select. Now where it says nickname enter your desired nickname and hit "connect".

    A window will come up asking you which channel you will join. Enter #TMN and enter. You will now be in TMN IRC channel :thumbsup:

    If you plan on spending some time with us on IRC you should register your nickname so it is reserved for you it is also required to get +v on the channel. To register your nickname type /nickserv register <password> <e-mail> and follow the instructions. Than whenever you connect you will need to identify with nickserv so it knows you are the owner of the name. To identify yourself with nickserv type /nickserv identify <password>

    Mibbit

    As far as I know everything above works in Mibbit or at least it should as the protocol is the same. You can get Mibbit here http://mibbit.com/ If you use Firefox mibbit already comes bundled with it.

    Auto Join: If you have mIRC installed or are using firefox you can click this link http://irc://irc.dal.net/tmn and it will connect you to #TMN automatically.

    I just picked up a shell for the eggdrop bot (TMN) and got it running and I will slowly start adding tcl scripts to add to the channel. For now feel free to join us and lol at me breaking stuff! I plan to get a bit more in depth on this guide soon and cover basic commands as well as how to use our local bot TMN.

    Using TMN (The Bot)

    Unlike many TMN does not mind feeling used. As I add modules and scripts to him I will post here about each one and how to use it.

    Stats.Mod

    This module records and stores all types of user and channel stats on a internal database. The fact that this is a module and compiled into the bot itself makes it much faster than a .tcl script. Here is a list of commands you can use with this mod.

    Public commands:

    ----------------

    !top10 [ordering]

    lists the top10 users in the channel

    !top20 [ordering]

    same as !top10, but lists the top20 (surprise!)

    !stat [user]

    shows the statistics for the user

    !place [user/ordering]

    shows on which place the user is

    !ttop10/!ttop20/!tstat/!tplace

    same as above, but only uses the statistics of today

    !wordstats [user]

    lists the most used words of the user

    !topwords

    lists the most used words in the channel

    !top10 word <word>

    lists the top10 people who used <word>

    Msg commands:

    -------------

    All public commands are also accessible via /msg.

    ("/msg <TMN> top10 #chan", for example)

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    gseen.Module

    Public commands:

    ----------------

    !seen <nick>

    I think this command doesn't need an explanation. ^_^

    !seen <mask>

    Searches the database for entries that match <mask>

    for example "!seen *!user@dialin-*.isp.com"

    !seennick <nick>

    !seen also checks if a user was online later with a

    different nick. !seennick only seens for <nick>

    !seenstats

    just a little report on how many nicks are tracked

    All commands are also accessible via /msg.

    ("/msg <TMN> seen <nick>", for example)

    Google Script

    Public Commands

    !google

    !googleuk

    !image

    Quotes System (For now only admins can add quotes)

    !quote <number>

    !findquote

    !quoteinfo

    !lastquote

    !randquote

    More to come soon!

    Hope some of you will come hangout :evil:

  3. Great TriRan! I see you active in the stats already :thumbsup: I picked up a new PSU for this Acer Aspire and it's running now so that will add another Quad Core Phenom to the mix :evil:

  4. I'll bite for a bit. Although the folding core for CPU had suffered tremendously in the last couple years. They have focussed more on the GPU, therefore running anything short of a high end system , really anymore is counter productive.

    Good to hear :thumbsup: I don't understand what you mean by counter productive though. I am still in contact with some folding buddies of mine from a few years ago and they are still going strong with their farms which mainly consist of old and low to mid-range computers and they are still crunching along just fine. Could you go into a little more detail about this?

    Stats Update for Dec. 5th 2011

    We climbed a spot not much but a start :evil: If we can get a few more active people we'll climb fast!

  5. Seems most people went inactive on this. I hope maybe we can revive the team some! There is no real reason not to run this on your computer. It doesn't interfere with with anything as it only uses spare CPU cycles. It might increase your electric bill by a couple dollars but nothing noticeable. It is a good thing to do and benefits this generation and future generations. A free way to help people not to mention it can be competitive and that's fun!

    Here is a stats update for today Dec. 4th 2011

    I should showup on there pretty quick I'm crunching a monster right now :evil:

    Please guys take the time to get this running on your computers. If you used to fold and stopped please consider getting active again. Lets see if we can start clawing our way back up the rankings! :thumbsup:

  6. H Alucard,

    Thanks for the information :) Last time I looked at parts Newegg was still only in the USA thats how long I have been out of the loop! Here is the start of a list.

    CPU- http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070

    RAM- http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226099

    MOBO- http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131771

    Hard Drive 1-http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167042 (later on maybe I'll get another and RAID 0 just for fun)

    Hard drive 2-http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136490

    Case- I am not sure on this but probably a Lian Li one of the larger ones they make as I need room for water cooling.

    PSU- I always used Enermax on my builds in the past and will again this time. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817194046

    Vid Card- http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130587

    Burner- http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106289

    Depending on when the Ivy Bridge comes on the market I may try one of the K series (unlocked) will have to see. I'm working now on putting together a solid water cooling system. The case will be modded and painted or maybe chromed. I have a buddy here that works at a chroming shop so going to ask him about it. Should be fun!!

  7. Well after being out of the loop for a very longtime I decided to get back into building my own rigs and OCing. My first rig I ever had was a P3 450 mhz Coppermine. I dicscovered OCing and ended up running that Coppermine at 850 mhz for a year than built my next rig a AMD 2500 M for those of you remember that awesome OCing CPU. Than I went MIA from the computer world due to real life issues and am now slowly finding my way back.

    This build which I nicknamed Project Pheno is scheduled for February 2012.

    What I want from this Build:

    1> Ability to OC! I love to push it as far as possible and than push a bit more I want to get some big speeds from this Rig.

    2> F@H I have always been a big fan of F@H and the more this rig can crunch the better.

    3> HD movies and encoding/decoding. We watch alot of HD 1080 and do alot of decoding and encoding so want the rig to be fast and smooth for this.

    4> Gaming. I will do some gaming and want to be able to play any of the new and upcoming games at full res and smooth. I love FPS.

    5> Not only am I obsessed with OCing I am obsessed with big scores on all types of benchmarks so overall speed is a factor.

    The Budget- Roughly 2k this is for just the box I already have monitor, speakers etc.. I live in Montreal QC and so far haven't found a real good store to use for parts. I would prefer to buy locally so if you know of a good store here please post a link.

    I want the rig to be watercooled maybe with a chiller for higher speeds?

    So please leave advice and suggestions as right now I am trying to catch up and have no idea what's out there or coming as far as hardware.

    Hardware List and Links

    CPU- ??

    RAM- ??

    MOBO- ??

    Hard Drives- SSD in RAID 0 (Hardware Controller) Brand?

    Case- ??

    PSU- ??

    Watercooling- ??

    Vid Card(s)- ??

    DVD Burner- ??

    I'll be doing some research and updating this as I go also based on what people suggest. Thanks for any help you can give me on this! :thumbsup:

  8. I joined and should have a decent amount of power to throw at it. Right now added a Dell Poweredge SC1435 with x2 Dual Opterons and 12GB of ram. We were actually using it as a coffee table in our basement :tard: Soon as I find a PSU for this Acer I have sitting here there will be a Phenom Quad added and I am planning a massive build that will be watercooled and OCed to the max for this February and I'll add that rig when it's done.

    Go testmy.net!

  9. I'm late but Happy B-day CA3LE! Hear you have a kid baking to congrats :thumbsup: A lot of fun and stress coming your way hehe. I have a 1.5 year old boy and a 2 month old boy and they are a blast when they aren't driving you crazy! I hope everything goes smooth for you.

  10. wow lorne...where have you been...haven't seen you in a long time...thx for the advice

    Hi tdawnaz,

    yeah it has been a really longtime. Life threw some curve balls that took me awhile to sort out. But now things are getting back to being somewhat normal so hopefully I can stick around :) Your welcome for the advice. Linux is really the way to go and I am writing that from a windows box lol. I still like some convenience :P

  11. i'll post this question here too...

    okay time to put an AV on here...what's the recommendation for ubuntu??

    You need to worry more about rootkits than viruses. I install rkhunter on every Linux box I run and it has always worked well for me. http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/ Can do a few basic things as well to keep the script kiddies from attacking such as changing ssh port and disabling root, locking root access to IP things like this :P

  12. Scary stuff! Only thing close I have ever experienced was when MT. St. helens went up I wasn't living to far away and things got a little shaky...something you can't even imagine until you experience it. Good your ok man and no damage to your house?

  13. Ok I figured out how to change the numbers in the bios. I changed the latency from Auto to 4. And then my computer stopped working. I pulled the g-skill memory out and everything worked again.

    Can you tell me what numbers i should change and what i should change them to?

    When you lower numbers your are basically overclocking your ram so you may have to increase the voltage on your ram to get it to work. Or you could loosen up the timings on the corsair to 5. Here is a article on OCing ram..hope it helps.

    Overclocking Ram Article

  14. If you have to wait a little longer. But do not get a cheap psu...it will come back to bite you eventually...or sooner :)

    Enermax, Antec, and OCZ have great psu's. I can't comment on any others as i have not tried them.
