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):

Please advise and/or correct. Thank you again for your reply |

Wow! Sorry, but I just noticed this a month late. The install is actually quite simple. After you download the application from here, install it, and launch it you'll have a little red icon in your system tray that looks like a little gear. If you right click on it and select CONFIGURE the first thing that pops up will be the screen to put your user name and the team number in (51056). After that, you're all done! At any time you can right click on that little icon and then select STATUS --> TEAM STATISTICS to see how we're doing. The last time I checked we had made it up to 1,500 out of about 47,000 teams. We can certainly use all the help we can get! Thanks, John |

John, I think dr Z is asking what to enter in the team field. It's 51056, right?

John, I think dr Z is asking what to enter in the team field. It's 51056, right? Yep. Are you folding, Pandy? For Mac OS X users, go see InCrease (http://calxalot.net/InCrease/ or http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/16999), a GUI for installing, configuring, monitoring, and controlling the Folding@home command-line client. Comes in real handy. |
