New Team Member - J4CKT_PC

It looks as though our latest new team member - J4CKT_PC is part of J4CKT's subteam!

Obviously this is a PC, and it has already returned 1 work unit for 119 points. This one currently sits 904,543rd out of 1,110,747 all-time folders. Thanks for joining up!

New Team Member - Ugly

One of my mates has just joined the team and is folding under the name Ugly!

He's running the SMP client on an Apple MacBook Pro, so this explains why he has received 1,760 points from his 1st work unit! Already gaining his 1,000 points milestone, he currently sits 460,804th out of 1,110,747 all-time folders. Good stuff mate!

Points Milestone - peterdiva - 10k

peterdiva has just passed the 10,000 points milestone!

Joining the team just over a month ago in late September, he is now positioned inside the team's top 20 team members. Having a look at his donor page tells us he has 3 'active processors' folding under his name, and I can tell by looking at his Kakao Stats summary page, that he has folded atleast one SMP work unit worth 1,760 points. So i'd say he's running a dual-core computer with the SMP client, and possibly another computer with just a single regular client installed. Although, i'm just guessing!

He stats are as follows - 45 work units returned for 10,978 total points, sitting 202,248th out of 1,110,747 all-time folders.

New Team Member - J4CKT

Aussie Rules Footy now has another team member, with a folder going by the name of J4CKT joining up!

New Top 5 Team Member

We have a new Top 5 team member, with my 2nd PS3 - Lahm_Family_PS3 now sitting 5th, nudging out my founding computer name - smASHer88 out of the top 5 to 6th spot.

Heres our current top 5:

Amazing, zoneur only joined 11 days ago, and has already cracked the 20,000 points milestone!

Our favourite Belgian has so far returned 44 work units, for an exact 20,260 points. He currently sits just outside the team's top 10, and 139,630th out of 1,104,764 all-time folders. Great effort mate!

PS3 work unit downloading issues given short-term fix

If you fold using a PS3, you probably would have noticed just lately, in the last few days or so that your system may have had troubles downloading a new work unit. It seems the servers have been temporarily out of 'jobs' or work units to dish out.

Reading Vijay Pande's blog, Stanford have implemented a short-term fix for the issues, but no comment as to exactly what is wrong.

I had both my PS3s switched off for two days, turning them back on every now and then to see if a new work unit could be downloaded. Last night both PS3s successfully downloaded new work units, one after 1 retry, the other straight away. As far as I can tell, both have been trouble free since. So if you currently have your PS3 down, waiting for these issues to pass, switch her back on, everything should be smooth sailing for now! lol

Points Milestone - Aussie Rules Footy - 1m

A fortnight out from the team's 2nd Birthday, Aussie Rules Footy now joins over 1,300 other teams that have broken through the much sought after 1,000,000 Points Milestone!!!

If you refer back to the 500k points milestone posted in early June, you'll see that we have certainly come a long way as a team, meeting some expectations set down, and exceeding others.

"The 1,000,000 point milestone should be less than 12 months away now" - It took 19 months to achieve the first 500k points. Turned out to be only a bit over 4 months to achieve the next 500k!

"Team PPD (Points Per Day) figures now average atleast 2,000 PPD with regular figures of 3,000 PPD" - Average figures are now between 4,000 ~ 5,000 with regular 7,000 ~ 9,000 'days'.

"Hopefully recruitment wise we can get a couple of SMP client-running members, and possibly some GPU folders for some big PPD figures" - Whilst i'm not sure about any team members running the SMP client, I do know that we have successfully recruited 2 GPU folders! And yes, they are certainly helping our daily points production!

Exact figures for the team are as follows - 1,000,174 points from 4,098 work units, and a 1,375th position out of 145,334 all-time teams.

I'd just like to thank everyone who is currently folding for Aussie Rules Footy - Team 52735, as well as past members who have contributed to the total points figure we have now. I'm now looking forward to seeing many new team members joining up and pushing ahead for Aussie Rules Footy's 2m Points Milestone!

Folding Setup - Lahm_Family_PS3

As promised this is a snap of my setup for Lahm_Family_PS3. Similar to my other PS3 - smASHer88_PS3, it's a 40GB PAL unit, but it's actually got a different model no. with the serial no. ending in CECHJ02 instead of my existing PS3 which has CECHG02. I'm pretty sure the J models are for those that were part of the Bonus PS3 with Sony Bravia LCD HDTV promotion that happened in July.

Anyways, here's a pic of the PS3 paired up with a Metz Artos 82 MF using Component Video (It's a 'Medium Definition' CRT TV.. no HDMI unfortunately!).

Points Milestone - Lahm_Family_PS3 - 50k

My old man's Playstation 3, Lahm_Family_PS3 has now passed the 50,000 points milestone!

Since joining the team late August, this PS3 has kept it's PPD (points per day) between the average 900~1,000 for a PS3. Expect a 100k points milestone Christmas present from this one! In the new team member post i made at the time, i said i would post a 'Folding Setup' picture soon... well, just look for my next post.

Lahm_Family_PS3 now has exactly 50,211 points to it's name, and that comes from returning 157 work units. It now sits 73,137th out of 1,101,765 all-time folders.

Points Milestone - zoneur - 10k

zoneur has reached the milestone for 10,000 points!

Using his NVIDIA 8800GTX GPU, he certainly climbs the stats fast! Currently sitting on 11,520 points from 24 work units, he's positioned 194,940th out of 1,101,049 all-time folders. Great stuff mate!

Points Milestone - QCKRNU - 10k

QCKRNU has just passed the 10,000 points milestone!

Using his dual-core setup, he's sitting on exactly 10,023 points from 53 work units, and is positioned 210,762nd out of 1,101,049 all-time folders. Congrats mate!

Major Milestone Clubs

I've decided to sort of 'collate' some of the milestone achievements in both points and work units, and makeup a Major Milestone Clubs list in the top right-hand side of the blog.

The milestone figures used will be the top 3 in each category starting from a the highest achieved milestone figure that either one or more team members has achieved, and then will be the 2 figures below that as well. This may change later on depending on how many team members is in each category.

I hope this can encourage more friendly competition amongst us team members! haha

Work Units Milestone - smASHer88_PS3 - 1k

My original Playstation 3, smASHer88_PS3 has reached the 1,000 work units milestone!

Folding pretty much non-stop since Boxing Day (26th December) last year, this little ripper has just churned out the work units! Accounting for just under a quarter of Aussie Rules Footy's total work units, and just over a quarter of the total points, my PS3 is nearly 100,000 points clear of its closest rival - Ravenge5.

Exact stats are as follows - 1,001 work units, 245,506 points and sits 16,984th out of 1,099,193 all-time folders. What an achievement!
