Revision of Watchin Planes, Going to Saturn, Folding @ Home Approaches 1,000,000!!! & Family Stuff from Tue, 19/06/2012 - 09:57

m0rning all,

First off I would just like to say sorry for my absence in the short time since I have rejoined. There were some family matters that needed to be attended to. Sister and brother in law to be had to fly back from their European road trip early for a short period of time. It was unexpected but it was really good to see them nonetheless regardless of the unfortunate circumstances.
They are on their way back to Spain now as we speak, via Singapore and Frankfurt. We actually had Flight Radar up and were trying to watch the plane as it took off. In this instance, it was rather “inconsistent”. However a brief catchup of the websites data feed, we saw their plane was just about to pass over us. We we’re able to wave them a final goodbye until Christmas.
Its pretty cool to be able to see the planes that are coming, know what speed they’re doing, how high they are, and their destination(s).
Might want to check it out, here’s a link. http://www.flightradar24.com/
Anyway I’m just saying because having them around plus other visitors kinda gave us a busy week here so I was more or less in dispose, sorry I should have let you guys know, but hey its all over now so, time to get crackin =)

In other news. I’m going to head to Saturn in the simulator. One planet I have not done yet, so I thought why not give it a shot. Should be fun. I’m not going to be doing it intensively like most of my other missions, just a bit on and off here and there, it’s probably a much better less stress way of doing it.

Now I would just like to say a thank you to everybody who has contributed to the Teams Folding @ Home efforts over the years. We have almost scored our first ONE MILLION! Great stuff fellas! =)
It seems that they have also gone and created a new looking folding program that you install. You choose either just CPU stuff or GPU stuff within the same program it seems. Still needs a bit of work, I have not found where the links are to the team stats liket he older program had.. But nonetheless they needed a software refurbishment a long time ago.
Here’s a link to the main site, downloads can be found easily enough from the front page.

If you feel like doing a bit of folding, maybe helping us get over that 1,000,000 mark, that would be awesome =)

Our team number is : 136356

Happy Folding and Plane Watching!
