smASHer88 and Lahm_Family folding names switch over

The computers that fold under the names of smASHer88 and Lahm_Family will switch over as of today.

When I started the Aussie Rules Footy team, I had only one computer to run Folding@Home on, and that was the old family computer (AMD64 3500+). I setup smASHer88 as my name (and therefore it's name) as not only did I not have a computer of my own, I wanted to identify myself more personally.

I bought my MacBook Pro 13" in June last year and as I explained then, the plan was that:

"My new MacBook Pro 13" will fold under Lahm_Family until it has caught up with my Family's old desktop computer (smASHer88) and then they will switch over."

Well that was the plan, but this year has been quite busy for me and i've simply forgotten to switch them over. Currently Lahm_Family sits on 135,546 points compared to smASHer88's 90,155 points, only 45,000 points past where they should have been switched over! lol

Anyway, that's how it is now :)

It's been over a month since our last New Team Member, and now we have a another! Welcoming Element(115) to the team ;)

It appears Element(115) is folding with a PlayStation 3 (based on the 251 point work unit returned). With that one work unit returned, our newest member sits 79th on the team and 991,189th out of 1,343,802 all-time folders. Great stuff mate and thanks for joining up!

Life with PlayStation updated to Version 1.21

Just a note for PS3 folders - Life with PlayStation has received a minor update to Version 1.21.

The update apparently improves 'Network error handling'. No further information was availabe about the update, but any update is good ;)

Happy New Year!

Happy 2010!

Geez i can't believe it's a start to another year! How'd everyone go last night? I was at Jawgz' place again this New Year's, Ugly as well, we had a good night, plenty of alcohol drunk ;)

I hope 2010 can bring Folding@Home some more members, more breakthroughs and there is much in the way of client updates to come apparently :) Also, hopefully Aussie Rules Footy also benefits from a good year, with hopefully more members joining and allowing our team ranking to push well into the top 500 teams!

New Year's resolutions? Drop a comment and let us know what you are going to do differently this year or whatever. Me? Well last year it was to shed pounds, and that didn't come to fruition, so another crack at it I think is in order ;)

Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Fröhliche Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neues Jahr! ('Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year' in German)

Easily my most favourite day of the year (even better than my Birthday), Christmas Day is just fantastic! I had a great day, melon-balling away at a bloody big watermelon, scooping out all the flesh, making a fancy Punch bowl for our nice Punch (obviously). Turned out pretty bloody good too as you'll see in the picture to the right.

Both my PS3s, and both computers are churning away, folding for Christmas! Our Team has had a very good year as far as our ranking progress goes. I'll try and give a bit of a report on 2009 early in January, as well as trying to keep a monthly update going on how Aussie Rules Footy is going.

Anyways, hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and hope yous have a Happy New Year. Let us know what ya did today and plan on doing tomorrow on Boxing Day and for New Year's etc. by leaving us a comment. It'd be nice to here some little stories from our team members ;)
