  • New Folding@Home Team - Project Tweakers (Team #63)




    Hi all,

    I am excited to announce we have joined forces with the Project Tweakers (Team #63) Folding@Home Team which is currently ranked 41 with about 500 active processors. The team is made up of members from Tweakers Australia, Inside Project, OC Wizard, Nerd Tech... and now TweakTown.



    Help fight diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, cystic fibrosis, Mad Cow disease, an inherited form of emphysema, and even many cancers are believed to result from protein misfolding.

    If you are interested in the joining our new Folding@Home alliance, you can find all the details here at the Folding@Home section of Tweakers Australia.

    Lo all, and first of all, let me say welcome to team63. I am not a key player in either tweakers australia, or even team63 (i am members of both tho), but can be found at ocwizard. i just wanted to point out that the links on the above referred to page are wrong. they read:

    - Official Project Tweakers website http://www.project-tweakers.com
    - Check out the Project Tweakers Official stats here http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/teampage.detailed?q=63
    - Check out your stats here http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/searchstats
    - More info at the Folding@Home webiste here http://foldingathome.stanford.edu/
    - Installation guide here http://folding.stanford.edu/using.html#install
    - Scientific background information here http://folding.stanford.edu/science.html


    whereas they should read:
    - Official Project Tweakers website http://www.project-tweakers.com
    - Check out the Project Tweakers Official stats here http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/teampage.detailed?q=63
    - Check out your stats here http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/searchstats
    - More info at the Folding@Home webiste here http://folding.stanford.edu/

                I'd like to extend a warm welcome from the Project Tweakers team to all TweakTown folders!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

                I am the chief cook and bottle washer of the Project Tweakers website. I will be updating that site ASAP to reflect TweakTown's addition to Team 63. We are already ranked 41 in the world -- with you guys providing some additional power, we can climb the ranks!<o:p></o:p>

                <o:p></o:p>

                If I can help any of you get started, or if you have any questions about the team or the website, feel free to email me at [email protected].<o:p></o:p>

                <o:p></o:p>

                Again, welcome!<o:p></o:p>

                        Hey guys, I'm a fellow folder (from a different team, 11314, the EOC folding team). Just wanted to wish you guys good luck. Folding is definitely a worthwhile effort. I was gonna promote it here, but I see you already have a team, so I will just wish you the best of luck.

                        Also, just a quick idea... you guys couls consider using something in your sigs to draw more people to folding. I have graphics in my sig (check em out), and I think that it will get people to pay more attention than they would otherwise.

                        Keep folding!!!

                            Thanks for the encouragement, ViperX! Project Tweakers wishes the EOC team all the best as well -- in a way, we're all on the same team, aren't we?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

                            I am writing Perl code to generate sig images on-the-fly with member stats for our team. I'm a bit concerned about the bandwidth this project will consume, however.<o:p></o:p>

                            <o:p></o:p>

                            But -- your point is well taken. More visibility equals more folders equals more progress for this worthy project. For now, on all the forums I post, my sig always includes a link...

                            What's up with the TweakTown regulars? Are all of you devoted to other DC projects? We can't entice some of you to fold for your site's folding team?

                            <o:p></o:p>
