One month ago I announced the formation of the new Folding@HTMLHelp team (# 51056), in support of the distributed computing program at Stanford University. Researchers at Stanford have devised a unique program which allows individuals to help by running a small application on their PCs at home that runs unobtrusively in the background. There are nearly 45,000 teams participating in this project with over 1,000,000 PCs processing data. I'm proud to announce that in the past month the Folding@HTMLHelp team has gone from last place to the top 10% of contributing teams. Here are some links to current projects and progress to date:
I believe that the HTMLHelp team can make a greater impact towards finding a cure than any other team! And to help us get started we are going to have some custom team T-shirts created. The first 500 team members to submit 20 Work Units will receive a team T-shirt! The shirts have not yet been designed, but as soon as we have a prototype we'll post photos for all to drool over. (If you want to submit a design for consideration, please do!) In order to claim your shirt you only need to do two things (other than using team #51056 of course):

I understand what a work unit is and how it works, but not all options on the folding client. I left all options unchanged, as far as I remember. And I don't think I called for any special sized WU either. BTW, all that ran on the iMac, so probably it ran slow. I have hardly run Increase on the Mac Mini yet, just to set it up.
I'm a very careful person, suspicious of any unknown apps on my computer, but I really hope solutions will be found for those illnesses, if not for us, then at least for our children. Take care, you too Frederiek |
