    Oogyboogawa- God's T-Shirt Man is in Wisconsin now!?

    Untitled 17 months ago

    Not gonna say I won’t do more of this, but I need room on my list.

    Steve Payne thinks status updates should be universal

    Well I guess I can mark this one as done… I didn’t actually add it as a goal in the first place anyway.

    When it comes to helping find a cure for cancer there’s not much more I can do except fold my arms and put on ‘folding at home’ every now and then…

    I mean… Cancer research? I don’t think I have anything to add to the discussion, have you tried lemon juice?

    I’m just all out of ideas on that one (have you tried lemon juice though?) cancer is nasty business, I hope we find a cure one day.



    Macs, PCs, Linux, and even Playstation 3s can join 2 years ago

    A comment below said that the software isn’t Mac compatible, so I’ll expand a bit on what the software is compatible with:
    Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, and Vista
    Mac OS X (in any of its versions)
    Linux
    Playstation 3

    Also, it can be run as a screen saver or a program, along with the more complicated console version. The link to download is below, don’t forget to add team #36343 as that’s team 43Things.com

    Thanks to everyone 2 years ago

    who is folding with our team. Jaq has worked his way up to our number 4 contributor on the team! Morningbreeze is #5, Ficus_Major #7, Wimblejigs #9, eatdrinktravel #18, Oogyboogwa #19, MisButterflyKisses #25, and stevepayne #29. Sorry if I left anyone out, I tried to include everyone that is a current folder. If you think you are folding for our team and your name folding name isn’t on this list, check that your folding is working and that you added team #36343.

    As you can all see the team is getting bigger, but the more people and the more computers that are folding the more difference we can make. So, even if you want to fold for another team please join.

    Also, I’d like to note that there are 43Things people that fold for other teams, notably the_technocrat (who is one of the biggest contributers to folding in the world!) and DeadWriter.

    How I join... 2 years ago

    ..a group? Have software but don’t think I joined a group.



    Oogyboogawa- God's T-Shirt Man is in Wisconsin now!?

    I'm in 2 years ago

    I’ve actually wanted to do this for a while, but until now, didn’t have a way to do it. Now, I do.

    The first work unit I got is 4,000,000 steps lol… 200,000 are done so far. I have a feeling it’s going to be going for a while. Speaking of which, do I just close the program when I’m want it to stop, or is there a certain way you have to exit? I’ve got the non-graphical version right now. There might be an answer on their website, but I haven’t had much of a chance to look yet.

    Anyway, I think I joined the team, but I guess it won’t show me on there until I complete my first WU.



    Since Apple Scored Lowest on Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics 2 years ago

    ...perhaps my Mac can do something to the world with Folding@Home.
    Tomorrow I’ll install it in my work computer too. ;)

    Keep up the good work everyone!
