Um... yep... Karasu you gave one hell of an idea to few of us

So~... yeah, I'm here to talk a bit about myself, I guess some of you should know what's behind the Dragoon nickname I use here.

Now for teh stats!

Name: Diogo Valente
Birth and current location: Lisbon, Portugal
DoB: July 18 1987 (Yeah... almost 22 -_-)

I finally am in the top 1000 for team 37726! In fact... make that top 900

I installed windows XP on a spare HDD, and ran 4 GPU clients and the SMP client, 18000 to 22000 PPD!. That will definitely leave a mark on the next electricity bill , and on the other side, that makes me happy to know that my rig is stable enough to fold at full power for 40h at least. Over 600W of folding power to grant me 30000 points, skyrocketing me to 893rd position.

I need to calm down...

Well, few more days went through since I began folding. Leaving my rig on 24h a day this weekend really helped. I'm already on top 1500 with well over 11K points

I'm really thinking if I should get a dedicated rig to fold. Few calculations threw me into a 200~220W rig to fold 24/7, bringing me 5KWh, and little more than 20€ per month... But then again, I'd throw the VCR on the living room the hell out and introduce my mom to the digital recording era with a HTPC

...

Here I am again, for another reason though...

So I joined the fold. I've seen a few fellow members from OCN joining for special reasons, their family, their friends. That's something I look up for, and I'm very impressed with their decisions. Myself, I have none of those reasons, luckily my family doesn't have any of those problems, and I really hope no one ever has, but I'm working to find a cure, for anyone that suffers from a terrible fate.

Although I simply cannot...

So far OCN has been clearly my most visited site since July '08. Helping and be helped, that's what my policy is, so far OCN has been great, with a ton of great people, although most of my posts here are to help, but this blog entry is nothing about hardware and technology, it's just simple entry to "de-pressurize" me...

This is at work, I began working December 05 on a computer store, where I still am, and currently writing this blog entry, for 3 years I was on a what I...
