A post for both the new and old ;)

Folding@Home Distributed Computing

Goal:
“To understand protein folding, protein aggregation, and related diseases. What are proteins and why do they “fold”? Proteins are biology’s workhorses — its “nanomachines.” Before proteins can carry out their biochemical function, they remarkably assemble themselves, or “fold.” The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, remains a mystery. Moreover, perhaps not surprisingly, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. “misfold”), there can be serious effects, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, and Parkinson’s disease.

What does Folding@Home do? Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases.”

Told you I’d check in from somewhere strange. I did actually want to post this from Ulaan Bataar, but the power went out just when I bought 400 tigriteds worth of internet (I want my 20c back damn you Mongolians).

The trip is going awesomely well. See you all in a couple of weeks.

With QLD’s historic win tonight comes a much greater travesty. My svalbards… they go to Willow!

Congrats mate. They didn’t play the best tonight, but took the opportunities handed to them and were good enough to hold NSW out in that second half. Bet you were hating Jarryd Hayne by about half time.

200 Svalbards well earned (plus ur original 200 from the bet back).

i was just sitting outside with my wife having a smoke and i was telling her about Svalbards.
her response :
Matt: so when QLD win tonight im going to lose the 400 Svalbards.
Nikki: but isnt Svalbards not real so they might as well be air?
Matt: yes but its a way too get ppl to post on the website and stay active.

Well sortof, i’m currently deciding if quitting is worth the cold chills, hot flushes, hunger pangs, nausea…

It’s not fun. I started smoking 3 or so smokes a day rather than 10-15, did this starting just over a week ago.

I’ve been smoking since I was 13 more or less, and I can tell you right now, it is not bloody pleasant.

Anyway, thats why I’ve been a bit wierd for the past week.
