General Discussion / Donating Spare CPU cycles for Cancer research

« on: September 17, 2012, 02:19:58 am »

Everyone.  I'm not soliciting for anything.  But I just wanted to bring something to the front in regards to a topic that has hurt me directly (my mother died from Cancer), and has probably hurt MANY of you as well.  I don't like being a "Oh, poor me" type of person (oh, ok Zhennu... I do it occassionally. . but only because you give me donuts to make me smile too!  :-D)  But ... I like taking action.

I've been a long time member for World Community Grid.  It's a host application that downloads data sets, parses them, then returns them to the server.  What they are doing is looking for promising new ways to treat or cure various illlnesses and diseases.   There is more than Cancer that is being researched.    Here is a direct link to HOW THE GRID WORKS:   http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewGridComputingBasics.do

Here is a direct link to the Latest News and Updates:    http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/displayNews.do

We don't have a presence there, but it's easy enough to create one.  However ... if you (like me) want a way to fight back against the illnesses ... it may not be in time for any of us (short term) but maybe for our children.

Thanks for listening.  Please have a great day!   :-D

General Discussion / Guild Wars Get-Together in Game

« on: December 03, 2010, 05:29:12 am »

I would like to try to get everyone does/has Guild Wars in game for some fun on Sunday (5 Dec) night, around 7pm central time. 

We can figure out about guild halls, at LEAST get alliances going, put everyone on our Friends list, etc.    Mayhap even get a high end quest or two done if you need help.

Let's see what we can start!  :-D
