Posted Thursday, March 6, 2003 by Comit
Scarabian Republic's awesome Folding@home ripped right through the 400's and are entering the 300's. Special thanks go out to Chris for installing up to 6 college computers under our name, and Cactus Jack for 4. Also another important step achieved: Yeti city joins in as Yeti himself hops onboard the folding train.
Team stats: http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/teampage?q=11309
If your interested in F@H just check the community board in the forums. We got 22 computers now. The team in 100th place has 32 O_O
Newsletters Page
Posted Monday, March 3, 2003 by Chris
The Newsletters Page has finally been updated all the way up to February 2003. That's three new issues to read through. But if you want the newest ones on the first Monday of every month, then you're going to have to subscribe. To do so, just drop me an e-mail with your citizen name and e-mail address.
A minor note for current subscribers: This month's newsletter will be delayed slightly until we can get an SW Pick for March written up! :)
