| Your personal background. | |
| I am a German physicist in the early fourties [1]. I love my wife, son and daughters, computers, books and music, each of which does get too little attention due to the necessity of having to earn a living [2]. When I started with distributed computing at Seti@Home (classic), I used to crunch alone. After switching to BOINC, I finally became a member of team BOINC Synergy, which makes crunching even more fun. Chatting in the friendly and helpful forum, crunching together to promote a Project of the Month, and seeing what you can achieve as a team makes it worthwhile to join a team. I strongly recommend it to anybody. Notes: [1] I could give the exact age, but then would have to update my profile on a regular basis, which - at my age - I will certainly forget. ;-) [2] Not that I don\'t enjoy my work. But I happen to know even more enjoyable ways to spend my day. ;-)  | |
| Your opinions about malariacontrol.net | |
| I started running malariacontrol.net when it became Project of the Month (PotM) at BOINC Synergy. I think malaria is one of the most critical diseases on the African continent. I want to support the effort to curtail this illness through research. I also participate in Rosetta@Home, which researches the protein structure of many diseases, including malaria. Malariacontrol.net and Rosetta together cover two very important aspects of the disease, and I can support the fight against it by just running my computer. What could be easier? | |
