Blurb

Welcome, Failte, & Fit Like? to the biggest, oldest (established in 1999 as Scotland's Seti) and best Scottish Boinc team around!
We crunch for all the major Boinc projects and nearly all the minor ones. Our aim is to use our spare computing power to advance human knowledge while enjoying some friendly competition amongst ourselves and with other teams. So if you're Scottish by birth, ancestry, residence, emotional attachment or even if you've no link at all with Scotland but just fancy being part of a lively friendly team, please come join us, everyone is welcome. The most important part of the site is our Forum . Even if you're not a member of any of our teams we'd be delighted to have you visit.

We have lift off!

An unprecedentedly excellent 2 weeks, as you'll see:

Most of this has been because of me becoming founder of Seti & Einstein & so being able to contact members who have maybe been with Scotland's Seti for one or two projects but not others. Most of the people contacted so far have been happy to sign up for the team for all their projects. As well as a significant one off boost this has substantially improved our daily average credit. And there's lots more for me to e-mail yet!

Coming to a truce with the Scotland BBC CCE team has also resulted in some of their members, who doing projects other than the BBC joining us for those projects.

Other people are just joining us from nowhere, which is nice. I suppose success begets success.

10,000,0000, a Lost Bet, Some Trees & New Foundations

Busy, busy busy!

We passed 10 million credits, which was nice.

I bet the Scotland team of the BBC CPDN Project that they couldn't get a new leader appointed in place of their lost founder. They did and I lost, or at least transferred to a worthy cause, £200 so that trees for life (link right) could restore the carbon fixing glory that was the Caledonian forest.

Inspired by them getting a new leader I managed to get myself appointed leader of our Seti@Home & Einstein teams. Although there is no mechanism for it, it is just a matter of asking the right people nicely.

Meanwhile we go from strength to strength, gaining a member a day, and with many more active members. I've tried to capture the comings and goings, my apologies to anyone I've missed.
