I'm Jason (aka Jay). I'm 21 year old unemployed college student from Windsor, Ontario. Yes, in Canada. Currently on a break from school to think things over to what I really want to do with my life. Trying to look for work, but it's slim pickens here. I like long walks on the treadmill and candle lit Kraft dinners. Glad I can contribute my PC to do some hard work for a good cause.

I can't believe I missed this.
My name is Joe. I am 37 years old and I'm married with my first child on the way. I live in Windsor, Ontario Canada. I have been a member for some time now, but spend most of my time in the Team Helix forums so I missed out on this a while back.

Hey,
I'm Daniel and I live in St. Louis, MO.
I (currently) work as a data engineer at an ISP. I've never been interested in working for any distributed computing work. I don't belive in aliens, rain forests will still get cut down, and I don't believe mankind will find "a cure."
But, after truly realizing my personal beliefs shouldn't translate into "it will do no good", I decided to contribute what little computing power I could. I figure some sort of comfort can be given to those who are suffering through this research...and I'm sure benefits have already been reaped.
I have a dual PII 400mhz server steadily crunching away.

Guess it's my turn. I'm Mary and I live in Southern California. No kids, but I do have 1 german shepherd and 5 parrots. Computers are both a hobby and a livelihood. Only have the one computer at the moment but hope my part in crunching can help find the cure.

Hello all,
My name is Brian and I live just a little west of Knoxville TN.
I am a little new to this but it seemed to be a worthwhile thing to do. I managed to get everything set up and running correctly so I guess that is a good start. I am glad to be part of the team. |

hello
name's Keith, from southeast Pennsylvania, 38 and work in the electricity distribution industry.. been involved somewhat in distributed computing off an on since the mid 90's (RC5 n such).. used to crunch for UD but took a hiatus..
what brought me back - my best friend is fighting a relapse of Hodgkin's, and the daughter of the love of my life was recently diagnosed with a very rare brain cancer soon after her 5th birthday
the feeling of powerlessness watching people I love and care about hurting and not being able to do anything is sometimes overwhelming, about all I can do at the moment is this.. only have one machine crunching right now, wish I could find some more.. tried to convince the employer to take part in UD being they have several hundred brand new 3ghz machines sitting idle for darn near 12 hrs a day but they won't budge.. :-/ |

My Name is Mike. You will call me other things and I'll probably deserve them all.
I am six years into a second marriage. The first lasted 25 years and resulted in three wonderful sons.
I hold a very minor elected office in my community.
I spent a few years as a court appointed advocate for kids --- it broke my heart and made me behave in a manner that I spent ~25 years since my Marine Corps days trying to overcome. So I stopped.
I retired from a telecommunications company five years or so ago. I'm finally over it and think I'm about ready to go back to work. The neighbors hate that I mow my grass every three days so it's time to be productive again.
Thanks to all of you for your contributions to Team Discovery. I think it is worth while.
Mike
