Memory of SampsonStein

17 April, 2008 00:59 CST6CDT

"My name is Brad Stein. I am running BOINC in memory of my son Sampson who passed away Aug 30, 2007 at the age of 18. He had some computers running BOINC but they are all FreeBSD(Sam's Op Sys of choice) and until I learn a little more about it I will start putting up computers with windows. Sam always wanted to help others so thats why I am continuing on for him.

I am also going to start naming the computers I add after other loved ones who have passed on. This way their memory can help help make this world a better place." --

That is a beautiful gesture and it is an honor for me to have you involved with our group.

For those of you wondering what the EINSTEIN@HOME Project is:

Einstein@Home is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational wave detector. It also searches for radio pulsars in binary systems, using data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Einstein@Home is a World Year of Physics 2005 and an International Year of Astronomy 2009 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.

My name is Andy Wright - the founder, but really the creator of Team FreeBSD. If you want me to add any links, or have any questions or inclinations for such things related to our group (or to just say hi) - send me an e-mail: einstein@extracted.org or Skype name: extracted

''It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure'' -- Albert Einstein
