"A weblog is a frequently updated web site where the content is often in reverse chronological order." (Mena Trott)
It contains a perfectly random assortment of thoughts, ideas, references and complaints, and they are all mine! (CD)

This About Me section is pretty much redundant, since i) I am a complicated person, consequently ii) there is nowhere near enough space, and iii) you can form a mental profile of me from what I want you to be able to know about me by way of the blog posts. So there!

Help climate prediction

Global warming is a serious issue. You can support the research done in that field by donating some of your underused computing horsepower to climate prediction. That's an Oxford University research project using remote computing on distributed machines all over the world to compute climate models, much like SETI@home, which seems to be moving to the same platform now.

A word of warning though: If you are uncomfortable using the command line (Terminal application), then this is nothing for you yet because the installation unfortunately requires some manual unpacking and changing of permissions, using UNIX commands. I'll make a note when they come up with a Mac user friendly package.
