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.

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

Head on over to awnews.org and vote in their current poll regarding Alphaworld update. Results will be sent to AWI. Here’s part of what Enzo had to say about it in the NGs:
“We will be putting something like this up as soon as we get a chance. It will be a simple “yes” “no” “undecided” selection which will be open to registered cits. Only your most recent vote will be counted in the totals.”
By the way, not much news the past couple of weeks. I decided not to post any real world news because we want to keep SW City news as a majority.

It’s Friday again, so here’s the weekly scoop:
Have you ever dreamed of powering your electronics with your shirt? No? Well you may be able to sooner or later.
Ok but have you ever dreamed of teleporting just like in AW? Well we’re one step closer…
Someone spotted this website where you can buy wooden computer parts. Pretty nice looking IMO.
Electronics continue to get smaller and smaller. How does 1 molecule components sound?
There wasn’t too much news this week, with the exception of the war and shuttle crisis. Next Friday I’ll open a poll to vote whether or not you want us to continue covering real world news.

An SW City roadmap has been posted in the forums. It highlights some major roads of, or passing through, SW City.
The yacht party has cooled down now over at Sybit Seaport. It was great, perhaps one of SW City’s most popular ideas. So far there are 12 beautiful vessels, only a couple of them incomplete.
swcity.net more popular than I expected. January recieved 466 MB traffic!
The Bullet Trams idea has been revived and is being dicussed in the forums. For you younguns’, the idea was to connect Yeti City and SW City via subway track.

Yay! It’s taken several months but we finally recieved our statue for best town of 2002. Congratulations everyone. We finally won this hard earned award after 3 years, which reminds me – SW City is approaching its 4th birthday already! Considering AWI’s speed I think we’d be best off arranging the awards now with them, so stay tuned.
You can find our town’s award at town square on the south side in the center of the main path.
And, a final note, if you haven’t yet heard, Praxten Oil Rig recieved its statue award too a few weeks ago.
