Folding@Home
I was recently looking into putting together a Folding@Home team - I've registered the teamname 'Something Emporium'. But then I realised that Google Compute doesn't support teams, only usernames. Crap.
So, if you want to join in we'll just submit it all under Google (team number 446 for those of you using the proper client), with the username 'SomethingEmporium'. If you are using Compute (part of the Google toolbar) then "to make the change, click on the DNA (double helix) icon and select "Configuration Page". On that page, change the user name
and then click "Save Settings". All your work will be reported under your new user name."
For those of you who need reminding Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many cancers and cancer-related syndromes.
It's a worthy cause - I can't help favouring it over SETI@home.
I'll meet you there
