 Welcome to the World Community Grid team thread for MyOnlineTeam! We would love to have you as a member! What are we? MyOnlineTeam is a global group of people who believe that individuals can make a real difference in the world. Our main focus is on distributed computing where we use the idle computing power of our PCs to process data for a number of research projects. We use the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) software to do this. This is a safe and reliable way to make a difference in the world. Most people do well to utilize more than five percent of the computing power of their PCs. With BOINC, the other ninety-five percent that is "going to waste" gets used without impacting your normal computer use. In return, you will help with efforts to find new medicines, treatments and cures for diseases like cancer, HIV, malaria and muscular dystrophy, expand our understanding of our environment and climate, help make new discoveries about our universe, and much more, all while getting to know folks from all over the world, from different cultures and backgrounds and a wide variety of viewpoints. MyOnlineTeam is also involved in global micro-finance thru Kiva.org. Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend to unique entrepreneurs around the globe. The best part of all of this is that you choose how much you want to get involved. You can get involved in any one of the multiple projects in which we participate when you want as much as you want. Who are we? Our members are from all over the world and come from diverse backgrounds. With MyOnlineTeam, you will find you have friends from all over the world. We know what it is like to lose a loved one to disease. We understand what it is like to look up at the sky and ponder the great questions facing mankind. We all feel the desire to make a difference. We will do our best to ensure that you are glad you found us! Being a global group and a diverse one at that, you will find that each of us can have very different views. Because we are so different, you will find that we are all about respect, tolerance and diversity. We know that while we are so different, we are very much the same - we are here to make a difference and it is that work that truly matters. Our history: MyOnlineTeam was founded on November 16th, 2004 when the World Community Grid project first launched. We have been growing ever since. While the World Community Grid is our birthplace and remains our primary home and project, we have expanded into other projects in line with our overall mission. If you want to crunch only one project, such as WCG, or multiple projects, we're a team where you can do both, all with the same team. Where to begin: Since you are reading this, you have most likely already created an account here at the World Community Grid and downloaded the BOINC program. If not, just click on the Home link above. To see who all of us are and to join MyOnlineTeam here at WCG, just click here: JOIN MyOnlineTeam! To participate with us in our other projects, simply go to the BOINC program and click on Tools - Attach to project. When you attach to a project for the first time, you will also create an account there. We recommend that you use the same username and e-mail address that you did here at World Community Grid. To attach to a project, enter the correspoding URL for it from the list below in field provided for that. Project: URL: More information about each of these projects can also be found at the above URLs.

The Fine Print/Disclaimers/Et cetera: We welcome you to our team thread. We encourage respectful postings here from all our fellow WCG crunchers, including those on other teams or not on a team. We simply ask that you follow the rules for WCG forum posts. There are no topics that are we do not allow here, providing they comply with WCG forum rules and do not distract from the primary purpose of this thread. The primary purpose of this thread is to recruit new members, enable communications with and among current MyOnlineTeam members, and engage in open, free and respectful communications with WCG community members.

You are free to report any offensive comments to the WCG administrators or refer your opinion to the teamâs captain to address any egregious posting(s) or topics. Any other action on your part is not tolerated or acceptable. Team members whose postings repeatedly do not comply with WCG or MyOnlineTeam "MOT" standards are subject to expulsion by the teamâs captain. As a reminder, while we celebrate diversity, we are united and of one voice to do our part in the fight against disease, in working together for the benefit of our fellow humans. Thanks for visiting our team thread! |

As we begin our new team thread, we offer the following as guidelines to assist you in ensuring that your posts in our thread are not problematic:
----------------------------------------1) Most importantly, be familiar with Forum Policy for Members. These are WCG's forum rules. 2) Keep topics unrelated to the thread's primary purpose brief to avoid becoming a distraction. Extended discussion can be taken off-line or moved to the Chat forum. 3) If a specific post elicits a strong emotional reaction, wait before posting a response. A quick response is likely to be problematic. 4) Remember that we are a global team and those posting here are not necessarily posting in their first language. Give folks the benefit of the doubt. 5) Be aware that your posts are limited to the written word. The reader has no knowledge of your frame of mind, facial expressions or tone of voice. With just your words to go on, it is much easier for them to be misunderstood or misinterpreted by the reader. 6) You are posting in a public venue. If there is a problem with your post and you are asked to modify or remove it, please do so. It is not an accusation regarding your intent. 7) If the team captain requests that a topic of discussion end or be moved, please comply. 8) Keep the global nature of our team in minds when posting. Keep it relevant to all of our team, not just those in one part of the world. We are here for the same purpose. Relax and enjoy our thread. |

Okay, that should have the stats updated. Hopefully, I got everything posted correctly. Please let me know if you see anything I didn't. As always Thank You for your keeping the team cared for and together. Sorry for your loss. Glad you are back.  Thanks RT. Hope you fared ok in those storms this past weekend. From what I saw on the radar, it looked like Glen Rose had some heavy storms at least. Turned out we dodged a tornado on Friday night. It went east a few miles south of the road we were going west on outside of Gilmer. The lightning was like a strobe light and the rain was like getting hit by a fire hose every other second. Did end up dodging a tree the was in our half of the road. It was a wet trip altogether. A report I sent my close friend the next morning: We are fine. It was an unbelievable set of storms. Darned things were not consistent. They were traveling northeast for the longest and I thought we were out of the woods after the cloud that went over us turned to a tornado just east of us. Then they started moving east-southeast and beat us up. Then east and more of the same. I was trying to watch radar but the power kept failing and it required a half dozen reboots. I did not think of it earlier but should have used the laptop. I will have to wait till later to see if there was any roof damage. We spend some time just outside our safe room during the worst part while listening to the Tornado sirens. I think the biggest hail was Quarter sized; perhaps a bit larger. The cover for the grill is nowhere to be found. Lots of branches beat off the trees, and debris around. Good news is that we are both fine -- no human damage apart from some sleep loss. Wow! I know what I saw on the radar at the time looked BIG and REALLY nasty just for radar. I've been through three now. This one last Friday was 4-5 miles away so we were in the heavy rain and lightning. Had one here at home a few years back that was within a couple of miles where we got no rain or wind - it was eerily quiet - and the storm clouds had a reddish tint. When I was a kid, I got to see one from below - I looked up out the kitchen window to see the funnel going over the house. That one covered a good hundred miles hop-scotching from south of Atlanta up into the mountains north of town. Yes, they do sound like freight trains - you don't forget that sound. Glad the two of you are safe with no serious damage! |
