I feel like crap

So, like yeah.

I still feel horrible.

I am going to go to sleep and hope to get better by tomorrow.

Why do people have to be stupid

I just want one day, one day, one GOD DAMN day that I don't have to deal with any stupid people.

Is that too much to ask?

IS IT?

Folding @ Home

Folding @ Home is a worldwide community effort researching the causes, and cures, for various diseases due to the improper folding sequences of protein molecules. Motherboards.org has formed a Folding @ Home distributed computing team for members and visitors alike to join. We ask that everyone please join and donate your spare CPU cycles to help benefit Stanford University's Folding @ Home project. Together we can make a difference! This Folding @ Home flash presentation explains how.

How Do I Join?

  1. Determine your operating system.
  2. Decide upon the type of client that suits your needs. There is a screensaver version that uses spare CPU cycles when your screensaver runs. There is a higher performance graphical client, as well as a no-nonsense console/text version.
  3. Download the desired client.
  4. Run the client and have the team number 33258 handy during the install process in addition to your username. Follow the installation guide for your specific operating system, and the client type that you've decided upon.

What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease? Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery.

Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, 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.

You can help by simply running a piece of software. Folding@Home is a distributed computing project -- people from through out the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer makes the project closer to our goals.

Folding@Home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems thousands to millions of times more challenging than previously achieved.

Just remember to contribute to TEAM #: 33258

Story Time volume. 1

Hello and welcome, to what will become, shortly, a regular thing here in the blog. A time when I tell you a story, except this time it is all fake. However it will still include observations I have made about things.

Today's story: The Attacker

So it was a very long time ago that a small village in the hills of Newfoundland were being terrorized at night. The villagers had little defense from these attacks. They happened without warning and cause. Or so they assumed anyway. Something close to a dozen people, well really women and children, were kidnapped from the village. After each attack men from the village would look and look and look for them. However none were found.

However one night, the villagers being pompous asses, exploited one of the women into being a decoy. So they could finally figure out who the attacker was and hopefully stop them from doing what they were doing. Close to midnight the attacker struck and being to burn buildings at the other end of town. Quickly the attacker then went for the women who was "asleep" under a tree. Of course this was too tempting for the attacker.

The attacker went for the women and just as soon as he got close, shots were fired from all over. He was dead. So was the women due to poor accuracy. The others were never heard from again, because they didn't think to ask questions and shoot later, instead of shooting first and then hoping to ask questions.

Eventually the colony died because there were only three women left and 6 children 4 of which were guys. However there were close to 40 men. As you can "that" just doesn't work.

Well that was the first gripping, nonsensical story.

Interesting site

Go to the site in the link title. It is a website run by my uncle and his friend.

You might find it amusing. GO and see it now.

I don't have a clue

I'm so very tired. It's almost all the time now.
