Folding@Home Stats: February 2012
It's been a while. I know.
Published: 9:00, 02/02/2012 by Jas-n.
10So, 2012, that’s like a new thing, isn’t it? Pfff, either way I’m back with a brand new rap. Excuses for the lack of a January update include uni work, hibernation and “my dog ate my homework, sir”; you know, all the usual. I’m back though, just in time for one of you to ask me to be your valentine, and of course tell you how we’ve been doing over the last two months.
Team Information
Over the past two months our team has managed to fold 5,890 work units, earning us 6.4million points which has helped us climb 29 places. Of course, the higher we climb the harder it gets to move up the ladder, but if we just keep pushing we can get there.
| Rank | Points | Work Units |
|---|---|---|
| 328 | 37,142,443 | 72,333 |
Before we continue, don’t forget we’re now on twitter, so you can stay up-to-date on the latest TSA Folding news. Plus you can ask questions directly if you’re a bit confused with something or everything. Just make sure you follow @TSAFolding. If you prefer something a little slower, there’s always the official forum thread.
Team Radar
Remember the good old days when we used to struggle to figure out the best gaming teams to put on this list of 25? Well those days are over, we can just about manage 13 out of 20, so the rest is filled up with the next teams that are due to overtake us.
On a side-note, during the past 2 months we’ve over taken just 3 gaming related teams, Gamers Talk, Official-ish PS3Fanboy Folding Team and the big, Apple Computer, Inc. Yes, we are even better than Apple.

Woop, I’ve pushed my way into the top 50, purely just by doing a work unit every now and then, whenever I remember. Wasn’t sure I’d make it for a while there, I was lost in the matrix.

Surely I was lost in the Matrix, I recall being number 10 and now I’m up in the 9th. Someone folded less :p

D: I haven’t been able to do so much with Christmas and stuff. Got my office back now though so I’ll be more tempted to leave my pc on folding :D and try and claw my way back in the top 50 \m/

I tried to Fold@Home this month, but I was lost in the Matrix due to playing too many games and had not enough time.

I was lost in the matrix….and never came out alive.

I’m hoping to push up the chart during these cold weeks, I’ve discovered leaving F@H running on my PS3 and laptop is a good way to slowly warm my tiny uni bedroom.

I was lost in the matrix as my power went down but now pushing more power than ever.
Translation = My PC PSU died and got replaced by a more powerful one.

Great work guys. Hopefully next month we will have managed to sneak our way into the top 300. :) I’m working my way up the top slowly, yet surely. Also in other news, I was lost in the Matrix.

Unfortunately, I’ve been folding less with christmas and over a week of with internet cut out, I was lost in the Matrix during that time! Starting to pick it up again though :)
