Hello all...
I just joined something I think is kind of cool. I was part of SETI@home back in the heyday when it seemed to matter. I was just reading about using distributed computing to solve protien folding problems related to the Human Genome Project, and thought I would get back into it. Basically creates a massive Beowulf cluster. Cool stuff... read about the smallpox drug computations they did recently.

Don't be turned off by the over-cheeriness... I just thought it was kind of cool.
