    Re: Folding Chit-Chat

    From the "that didn't last long" category: will be stopping folding for a while - got hit with some huge bills this month, so folding's gotta go

    Will continue next month, though, so no big deal.

    Re: Folding Chit-Chat

    Sorry to see you go. Hope you've voted.... (I sound like I'm canvassing for votes now!)

    How do energy prices compare - Lithuania vs UK? I think we pay ABOUT 11-12p (sterling) for a kWh of leccy

    What's the price locally? We often hear reference to "rip off Britain" but from my experience inn working in Italy, France, Portugal, Ireland and Holland, we're actually not as expensive as we're led to believe. What does stuff cost up there for energy? Likewise, how do PC components prices cost? Do you buy them locally or from Germany/France etc?

    I have indeed voted

    The price is around the same - 10-11p of your money/kWh, depending on the conversion rates. PC components I think are a bit more expensive, but not enough to make it worth paying for shipping from Germany, for example (just checked, a 2600K price is almost identical ). Only if you want something more elaborate, e.g. water cooling - no one stocks any of those, since it's quite expensive, so the only choice is have it shipped.

    It really has been a slow month following that rather "exciting" Xmas. Think everyone is suffering the January blues.... or just broke!

    Re: Folding Chit-Chat

    Well I posted >21k points in a single day yesterday which I think is a record for me!

    Ooh, and looking now (I'm clever so I put a link to the full stats in my signature stats, would recommend it) I'm about to sail past my weekly record, too.

    Re: Folding Chit-Chat

    Argh! My work computer must have rebooted itself at some point towards the end of this week and I didn't restart my client

    Damn it, that's over a day's folding lost: and now I've ended up stuck with a hella slow 250k unit that's only getting me 2.5kppd (according to HFM.NET, anyway). *sigh* it's all just typical really, isn't it...

    I've been drawn in by not paying for the machine or electricity, more like

    Still tempted by a 605e though...

    Passkey off = 470PPD
    Passkey on = around 2000!
    Thanks for the advice (many pages ago - this thread is going strong )
    Still a little way off 100k PPD though!
