More about me

I ride my bike a lot, for transport and for fun. Occasionally I write about it.

I contribute spare CPU cycles to Folding@home, as part of the Danger Mice team. This distributed computing project performs genuine scientific research by modelling protein folding and misfolding. Already dozens of papers have been published using the results of Folding@home.

Any cycles left over after that are devoted to WETI. This project takes a rational approach to the problem of contacting extra-terrestrial intelligences. More information about WETI, including the not-so-famous Brake Equation, can be found at forgetormori.
