After the demise of my *nix farm (and the job that went with it) the only machines I control are laptops, which I didn't leave on. After a 290+ day hiatus, SETI@home sent me an email asking me where I was. That's funny: (1) SETI searching for me means what? (2) they found me at home means what? I found resources to donate, and so downloaded BOINC. Now comes "add Project" Where on the web site are the descriptions for Malariacontrol.net Docking@Home Climateprediction.net World Community Grid The Lattice Project PrimeGrid SETI@home (I know this one) Milkyway@home SZTAKI@home SIMAP Cosmoloy@Home AQUA@home Einstein@home (I know this one, too) Quantum Monte Carlo at Home (I wrote a paper on Monte Carlo methods) Leiden Classical (is this like new Coke and Coca Cola Classic?) et cetera for all the wonderful projects that I can donate resources and time to. Where are the descriptions? Shouldn't these topics / projects be easy to find on the web site? Just my $0.02 neutron (newtlove.org) Newt Love The most famous person nobody has heard of. http://newtlove.com/ ID: 893568 ·

In the attachment wizard there is an icon at the end of the each project name that links to the project web page where you should be able to find a description of that project and its aim. On the Boinc home page is a link Choose projects which lists by category some of the main projects. Hovering the mouse pointer over the project name provides a pop up bubble with a short description of the project. EDIT: The above is only a partial list of the 50+ projects in various stages of development. A more comprehensive list can be found on third party stats sites like Boincstats.
