Some of you may have heard about the cancer research project that is currently being run by United Devices in conjunction with IBM and Intel. I've had this project running now since 01 May 2001.  I thought that as I'm soon to own my first Alembic, it might be a good idea to form an Alembic team, as there currently isn't one.
 
Rather than me writing about the project, I invite you to visit this link http://www.grid.org/projects/cancer/ to learn more about the ideas behind the projects.  It's all free and apart from the extra and negligible amount of electricity your PC will use and the odd phone call (if applicable to you - depends how you connect to the net) to the internet to return results, there is no cost.  There are no catches and no hidden extras.
 
I've been a part of all of this because I feel like it's a chance to give something back, even if it is in a small way.
 
For those of you who want to join 'The Alembic Team' I have created, please follow this link:-

I'm in! My puter runs 24/7, so it can work while I sleep...  :-)

Wow, after 23 hours and 21 minutes of CPU time, i'm 50% through my first task... :-)

Sometimes they run faster than that.  Sometimes they don't!!  :-)
 
Come on folks - who else is going to join us, it's for a good cause.  Mica - do you fancy taking a lead with this and encouraging a few people to join?

I'm joined

Marvellous Matt, thank you!

today's run is looking promising....

I notice that Matt is giving both Michael and myself a trouncing in terms of performance!
 
Come on folks - we need some help here. Paul (Lindemans) cannot join as he runs a MAC - any other takers out there?

I'm in - just no results to show yet, it's still busy generating an energy grid.

This is very interesting. I would like to help but am on a govmt. computer and do not have one at home so, I cannot participate. I will, however pass this along to my colleagues outside of work.

Great Adrian, thanks for joining!

And thanks to Jonathan too!

I'm going to take this opportunity to bump this back up to the top.  Come on folks, we've currently got five members including myself. We can do better than this can't we?

Come on folks, pleeeeeeeeease!!  There's currently six of us in this, surely as an Alembic fraternity we can do better than that - can't we?

I'm on at work now, where cookies are a problem.  Will join as soon as I get home.  This is a good use of spare resources.  Thanks for turning us on to this.
