The servers this site is using for resources are out of development, as you may have noticed. I can now get back to a little fun while I sit on a few developments related to this.. I hope to post a little more often in the next couple months and get the bugs worked out of some of my websites...
Congratulations to everyone with milestones! If I have missed you, give me a good kick in the behind and send me an e-mail! Till lata everyone!

New Member - heilkitty & escaping matter...
06 October, 2008 16:48 CST6CDTWelcome to our team heilkitty! Make yourself comfortable here, you are among friends.
Getting a hold of David Hamer (or his voicemail) is quite like escaping black hole matter - it's not going to happen anytime soon. However, would anyone be interested in starting a thread for: questions to ask department representatives and employees at the EINSTEIN@HOME project?
If we can come up with 4 or 5 tantalizing questions that are hanging on the minds of our team, I will make certain they are addressed. So, go ahead, post a comment, and I will compile and submit them to the appropriate employees and contributors.
Happy crunching!

EINSTEIN@HOME Project Status
08 September, 2008 16:38 CST6CDTI live in La Crosse, WI on the other side of the State from Milwaukee Wisconsin where this project is being coordinated.
I am involved in the university system, and I managed to get a hold of David Hamer, a professor in the Physics dept. involved with the ligo and geo research as to the status of the site and availability of resources.
When I get this information, as he is a very busy man, I will post an update as soon as it is received.

For those of you wondering what the EINSTEIN@HOME Project is:
Einstein@Home uses your computer's idle time to search for weak astrophysical signals from spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors, the Arecibo radio telescope, and the Fermi gamma-ray satellite. Einstein@Home volunteers have already discovered more than a dozen new neutron stars, and we hope to find many more in the future. Our long-term goal is to make the first direct detections of gravitational-wave emission from spinning neutron stars. Gravitational waves were predicted by Albert Einstein almost a century ago, but have never been directly detected. Such observations would open up a new window on the universe, and usher in a new era in astronomy.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

| Einstein@Home volunteers discover three new radio pulsars in Arecibo data |
Einstein@Home volunteers have discovered three new radio pulsars in Arecibo PALFA data -- the eighth, ninth and tenth new radio pulsars found by Einstein@Home volunteers in this data set! Congratulations to:
Further details about these newly-discovered pulsars can be found on this web page, and will be published in due course.
