So great, I got a super fast new computer at work (P4HT@3Ghz and a gig of ram) and it’s completely choked down to 10Mbps due to a router. So the CPU has really very little to do. I did try http://folding.stanford.edu, but would like to hear if there’s a similar distributed computer app that works well from a usb drive (like grid.org did). My LAN is rendered unable to access the internet, so I would have to pull files down to my usb drive and walk it over to one of the few internet capable computers in the building. Please comment if you have any ideas.

I’m a huge distributed computing fan, so when grid.org closed down their project on 04.27.07, I was saddened. I find some satisfaction in knowing that I played a part in developing something that can help brothers and sisters. I did try the http://folding.stanford.edu/ from Stanford and I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. I’ve missed it for a month and some now, and it’s just bubbling back to the surface as I notice how the computers I use are strangely silent in the idle moments.
It’s been vacation bible school this week and I’m completely exhausted. Many children have accepted the Lord as their Savior (I think around 20), and that makes all the work worthwhile. I don’t know if the website is updated, but check out mesabaptist.org for how things are going. Oh! I saw with analytics that the site showed up under a search! Thanks to that person who actually clicked on by with no cajoling on my part.
