So I was working here today when I saw the screen saver on my Dell test laptop come on. I had forgot that I have United Devices distributive computing app running on there. More info on that here: Grid.org. Basically they do some big number crunching for projects like the humna genome project and cancer research.

So anyway, last time I looked, a client didn’t exist for OS X. Looks like it still doesn’t, though I did find this.

So anyway, I’m running SETI at Home for now to give the ol’ G5 here at work a bit of a workout. I’ll probably install it at home. One thing for sure, these dual processors really rock! It is absolutely blazing through its first file. Just 33 minutes in, it’s gone through 14% of a big file.

I still wish it was doing cancer research instead of search for intelligent life!
