Wednesday, August 26, 2020 It can make me cry, anyway. Of the relatively small list of people I have as good friends, five that I know of, write. One of those has published five novels. Another one is close to publishing her first book. Another could and should write a book about her life butContinue reading “Good writing can make you cry- now”

My Gridcoin experiment is done
Tuesday, August 4, 2020 Frankly, the intermediary website GRCPool.com and Gridcoin.us left a lot to be desired. The site is not monitored as well as it could be. Projects that are listed as acceptable for research may not be. Updated information is not consistent from one listing to the next. I found one project IContinue reading “My Gridcoin experiment is done”
BOINC and Gridcoin futures
Wednesday, July 29, 2020 Well, you get to see the update anyway. First, the disease research has found a possible new treatment against covid-19, so that part of it at least is a success, so far. The mining for cryptocurrency though could be doing better. First, in my first two weeks participating as aContinue reading “BOINC and Gridcoin futures”
BOINC and Gridcoin mining update
Saturday, July 18, 2020 First, recently I heard about the following related to one of my BOINC research projects rosetta@home: “We have some BIG NEWS: Researchers @UWproteindesign have succeeded in creating antiviral proteins that neutralize the new coronavirus in the lab. (These experimental drugs are being optimized for animal trials now)” The heck with GridcoinContinue reading “BOINC and Gridcoin mining update”
BOINC and Gridcoin
Sunday, July 12, 2020 I am participating in data crunching projects for BOINC, and I have been for the better part of twenty years. This started as crunching data for SETI@home and was followed by many other projects. Currently, I have been working on covid-19 treatments. Being awarded points has always been somewhat interesting, atContinue reading “BOINC and Gridcoin”
On joining the Weather Underground (www.Wunderground.com)
Monday, June 15, 2020 I have joined the weather underground. Not the militant radical one found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Underground but this one, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Underground_(weather_service) an internet-based weather service utilizing weather information from volunteer weather station operators. Although both originated at the University of Michigan, that is where the similarity starts and ends. Since I was a kid,Continue reading “On joining the Weather Underground (www.Wunderground.com)”
Cats will be cats- Now
Returning home from my workday, I readied myself to work through my list of things to do before it was time to start dinner. I glanced outside, and saw something in the backyard I could not quite identify. Maybe one of the cats had gotten into something. It always was easiest to blame the cats.Continue reading “Cats will be cats- Now”
To Old Friends and New Friends- Now
This is about friends. As I have gotten older, and maybe because of some things that happen from time to time in my life, I get into moods where I ponder the imponderable things that I might be better off just forgetting. No, maybe that last bit is not true. I would not ever wantContinue reading “To Old Friends and New Friends- Now”
Nobody ever said this would be easy. . . Now
There are times that writing is easy. An idea just pops into my head. I start writing, and before I know it, I have something finished that can be published in this little blog. Maybe someone, maybe even you, will eventually read it and smile. Other times, writing is real work. It reminds me ofContinue reading “Nobody ever said this would be easy. . . Now”
Memories of a year ago- Now
You might think that spring would be a pleasant time for me- for us. Full of flowers and other signs of re-birth, it surely would be a time to rejoice that the dormancy of winter is soon to be a thing of memory. It should be a happy time. But as much as it isContinue reading “Memories of a year ago- Now”
