Exactly what I was thinking. We should just put them all up and let people buy what they like best. But it's E's call, not mine.
-
Here's another one of my ideas, lol. Don't we all wish. It would look best on a green shirt so I used a green PCB color for the background. I will remove that and send you the transparent png, UltraMega.

All of this is great, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to post here, @ENTERPRISE I agree with everything, except maybe the member vote on approved designs. I have two more t-shirt designs I am going to be working on. It's not that I disagree with voting for what to use, it's that I think a lot of variety is a good thing assuming it doesn't cost extra to have more designs available on an e-tailing site. So in the next few days I will finish up my ideas I have left and post them, then send them to UltraMega. Him and I have been in pm's and I've been giving him the transparent images he needs. After that, unless anyone else has any art to post, we can get them all uploaded and have you login and look through everything as you stated. I understand you want the utmost quality in our material, but if say every t-shirt design I did were available for purchase I'd probably buy one of each and pay from my savings. As well as a hat. I think @UltraMega should look into if this site does coasters or round stickers as I have not seen those yet, but made a white and a black circular design with the "EX" to be used on a sticker and coaster. In time, I suppose.

Will do later, on my way to an appointment. Edit: the unisex flat bill hat and the low profile baseball cap seem best. Want me to remake the hat design I sent in transparent later so it can go on a white hat? I can also flatten the logo as I said so it could be embroidered on a black hat.
-
First of all, everything you posted looks great. I especially like the mug. Shall I remake the logo I intended go on a black hat to be transparent and it can go on a white hat instead? The other option is to make all the text in the logo red and the HW in ExtremeHW in a solid gray, which is simpler and could be embroidered. Also, I designed another T-Shirt. I took artistic liberty with this one and didn't use the official logo, but put the logo in a neat font I found. It is also supposed to be a 90s throwback style shirt with a CMYK focus. I plan on doing another one using the same words but in a grunge style font on black, using the official logo we have, with the text in various shades of red on a black background- a metal style red/black T-shirt. Let me know your thoughts.

I used to just go find the work folder when I folded in Windows and delete everything in it, which would give you a new work unit when you started the client again. I have no idea where the work folder is on Linux, but I don't intend to do the same thing, nor what you mentioned. It's not just about the points but it's about the cause- I lost my Grandpa in 2021 to COVID-19 and I lost my Grandma in 2019 to cancer. She had various types of cancer that metastasized and so forth and ended up dying from a brain tumor, I believe.

If you happened to read my original post and what I have to go through and deal with, well, I think you have it even worse. I'm on disability and don't even work because of DDD and fibromyalgia as well as compressed discs in my neck and low back, and a hip torn labrum and cam and pincer impingement. Much respect to the fact you actually hold down a job and one that involves carrying things, etc. I don't know how you force yourself through the pain. I find it difficult to force myself through the pain just walking around my house and going up and down stairs, let alone going out to appointments or shopping with the wife. Any tips on how you cope with it mentally and just force yourself through would be valuable to everyone here, I think. Also, is there anything doctors can do for you? Do you get pain meds or anything? Because this sounds like its much worse than anything posted so far, though I suppose it's relative and everyone feels pain differently. Personally, anything leaning over a desk like art, soldering, building keyboards, working on computers I can only do on good pain days and doing so will cause me to be in bad pain the next day. It sucks.
-
Thank you so much! Just did it. Gonne check /etc/fahclient/config.xml to make sure it's there. If this keeps me from getting those waste of time garbage units I'll be very happy. EDIT: After doing this I immediately got a unit that gave me the highest PPD I've seen yet.
-
Looks great man. Nice keycaps.
-
These all look fantastic! Can you also do the folding shirt in a medium gray please? That took a lot of time to make and was quite challenging for me and really pushed the limits of my skills. It took a lot of time to do. The white one with the logo on front and my design with the full site logo and icons on the back was a good idea. I would also suggest a black hat with the file I sent you and some circular stickers with the EX logo, as well as a mug with the EX logo as Avacado wants one. Thanks for your work.

Gotcha. I have a hip doctor appointment tomorrow and have to ride in a car which usually puts me in bad hip pain. Today is a no because wifey is off and wants to spend time with me watching The Crown. I have a dentist appointment on Thursday. So I might only really be able to work on graphic design on Wednesday and Friday, to my chagrin. But my hips have been killing me all the time lately, its probably the 2 packs a day I smoke and sitting agitates it too. Got a hip cam and pincer impingement and left anterior torn labrum. Will probably be sent to do physical therapy first then get MRIs then see what this doctor can do, and I may be forced to quit smoking by insurance. Then I will have to see another doctor and repeat all of that nonsense for my neck. This is sparta! Font | dafont.com WWW.DAFONT.COM This is sparta! Font | dafont.com That's a font I'm going to use and put "ExtremeHW.net" in and then do a CMYK gradient across, and underneath put text at different angles in cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The text will advertise what the sites about so I'll put watercooling, pc building, reviews, voltmodding, folding, hwbot, gaming, audio, etc. all in cyan, magenta and yellow at different angles and then in the very middle put "community" in black. To go on a white shirt. And that's just one idea. I wish I could work on it now but wife is upset since we haven't watched The Crown yet.

I will also be working on 3 more Tshirt ideas I have in my head this week. I'll send the raws to ENTERPRISE for his archives and the transparent pngs to you, UltraMega. The reason they are transparent is because redbubble offers a ton of different colors, so if the designs are transparent people can choose what color shirt they want. Hopefully that is the same on the site you have the account on now. I understand the process of this taking time and I can understand trying different vendors etc. Sorry I got a little frustrated. Keep an eye on this because I have some pretty cool ideas in mind. Edit: if the option is available on the sites you are using, and you can add a comment about a shirt or a product, I would ask that you put "designed by neurotix" if possible for any of my designs. I'm not going to make any money and am fine with that, I just want credit as an artist where credit is due. Thank you.

Figured. Done. Sending it now. Also, please consider a redbubble account and looking into it, providing they do international shipping. I really love their default t-shirts, they are very soft.
-
Thanks for reminding me to be patient, Avacado. I did fully legally release all the designs to E in a pm. I understand he is 1. Busy and 2. Wants it done right and wants quality in the products. Thank you for the compliment about the quality of my work. Ultramega, I can definitely send you the original files, but they are all in GIMP .xcf format. Those are in the zip I sent Enterprise. Can you handle those and convert them to transparent pngs or do you need me to, and zip and attach them? EDIT: I will just pm you all the transparent pngs. @UltraMega

Personally I'd really just like to see all my t shirt designs, the hat design (black with gray for "pushing it to the limit") which could also be a sticker, and the round sticker/coaster designs be thrown up on redbubble.com I spent all last week working on this stuff so I'd like to see all my designs used and its really quite easy to just make a redbubble account, upload transparent pngs of all the designs, and then add a merch link to the website top navbar pointing to it. If this were done I would order one of each t shirt, a hat, and a sticker to put on my desk. Its out of my hands though, I sent Enterprise all the raw files in a pm but with how busy he is he hasn't responded yet. Don't mean to sound like a dick but I busted my ass like 6 hrs a day in GIMP all last week, I see no reason why we can only use one t shirt design, we can use all of mine and UltraMegas too. I have three more shirt designs in mind that I will start on tomorrow, I think having so many options is a good thing but I do understand quality being important. I'm fairly certain that multiple members of the forums would get more than one thing. Something for everyone. And on redbubble, choice of t shirt style, sweatshirt, long sleeved thin shirt or even hoodies.

Guess maybe my advice isn't what you wanted... Anyway, a few weeks ago as a late Xmas gift, I built my wife a Mini Cat 64 as well as a seperate numpad to go with it, as she's an accountant and requires a numpad. The numpad is Macaron themed on the top. Brand is Yunzii. Both came with Gateron Yellow switches, someone should enlighten my as to what they are (are they linear? Are they tactile like Browns?) And the Mini Cat came with the MIA cat keycap set. Which is $40 on its own, so a bare board was $79 on Amazon + $40 for that keycap set. Buying a prepopulated board with Yellows and that keycap set was $99 so we saved $20, of course it made extra work for me but w/e. Her board has Kailh Box Pink switches and generic black o-rings (reduces travel by 0.2mm). She loves it. And if she takes it into work and gets complaints about the noise, we can throw the Gateron Yellows back in as I thought they felt nice and they were very quiet. Here are a few photos. Man this thing glows.

Agreed brother~! Was one of the first things I asked when I started. You can still see your total points by looking your name up here (just change the end of the url to your username): Folding@home | Statistics STATS.FOLDINGATHOME.ORG Folding@home Statistics About to break 300mil total in a couple of hours. But I just broke 200m a few days ago.

I would suggest looking into redbubble if they are still around.

Ah I see. What models of cards did you get? FE for the watercooled Linux rig?
-
-
Mine is slightly overclocked, I can do 3090MHz core for benching and games in Windows but I have folding set up in Linux as it acts as the house server. It only does around 2850MHz core in Linux and the overclocking app in Linux does not provide voltage control. If I OC it higher than 2900, then every few seconds my app shows the core dropping down to 2000MHz for a while then coming back up, and my PPD goes down the drain. So it's running at 2850/12210MHz, plus I'm using Linux and you get more PPD running folding in Linux, so it was always said. (And jeez man 4 of them? you'll make 100m PPD easily)
-
So my 4090 gets estimates in f@h web control of 30~31 million PPD, but whoever claimed the 26m thing is probably more accurate. Take a look at my daily production here: https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=1311203 You'll see it's closer to 25-26m a day. Also, sometimes I get work units that f@h web control estimates only give 17m PPD, and for some reason these only utilize 90% of my card and make it run at 50c (with 80% fan) whereas the others estimate 31m PPD use 96% of my card and heat it up to about 62c. Regarding my crushing the foldathon, not if other people have 3090s, 3080tis etc. and run more than one card. But to say I am pleased with my MSI 4090 Gaming X Trio is an understatement. Especially the memory on it, I'm running it at 12201MHz and stock is 10500MHz I believe. Unfortunately running one CPU core that the GPU needs to stay loaded, and having the card folding, my CPU temp readout on my POST code display is always around 60C, otherwise I would fold on my 5900x as well. If I tried I am 100% confident the system/CPU would overheat probably instantly and just shut off. But I don't think a 5900x would give very many points compared to my 4090 anyway.

Thanks Flux. A BFA in digital art eh? I just have like 20 years self taught experience using Photoshop and GIMP. But I am also an artist in traditional mediums, I do watercolor, watercolor pen and colored pencil. I like to draw flowers from our garden in watercolor pen and watercolor, and its been quite a while since I did but I also draw manga/comic style characters in pen and colored pencil. Sometimes I don't do art for months, generally leaning over a table puts me in bad low back pain, but sometimes I force myself to anyway. So I totally understand if you're taking a break due to other reasons. I appreciate any critiques and I also still have a few more ideas on shirt designs. If possible, you should upload a higher resolution version of the one you did (it was pretty grainy and low res when I zoomed in on the grid in GIMP- artifacts around it) Here's an example of a watercolor I did- Tiger Lilies

Hey guys, a quick question: In my folding web control, you can choose which research to support from a dropdown box. At the bottom of that list is one labeled "high priority". I was wondering if I change it to that if I might make more PPD? Thanks.
