Sorry about the delay since the last entry but as the forum has begun to take off that has kept me busy. If you've not tried the forum get there now and sign up. Reading my occasional ravings is all very well but it's not real communication! As you can see all the recent activity has been very helpful in building the team again. There has been a modest increase in the total members but the number of people active in the last month has risen quite significantly. By the way don't worry about the apparent drop in daily productivity - this is just because SETI, our biggest project hasn't updated it's stats in 2 days - it happens.
A new project is the BBC Climate Change Experiment. As far as I can see this is good old fashioned Climate Prediction Boinc sexed up to appeal to the telly watching masses: Elitist prejudices aside, there is nothing wrong with that if it gets people interested in distributed computing & indeed the project is proving very popular. We noticed that a team called "Scotland" had been set up and was doing quite well. Now it seems a shame to have rival Scottish teams splitting the Scottish effort so I visited the BBC CCE forum and suggested a merger. This innocent proposal proved to be as popular as a turd in a swimming pool and I got thoroughly flamed.
Having had the hand of friendship savagely hacked off I did set up a Scotland's Seti team for this project which you can join or not (please don't get angry it's just an option).
