Hello to everyone!
I just got my key and first WU.
So finally you opened the doors for newbies!
Can't wait 'til the first WU is crunched ;-)

He he. Welcome aboard - even if you are the enemy. :P ;)

BIG UPS from Slovenia to all you fellow crunchers...
Would say HI before, but have discovered this thread only 15min. ago...
I'm glad to see so many familiar faces here and hope, that we'll do some great science together.

Back at ya from a newcomer in New York Vid. Welcome and happy crunching.

3 WUs crunched.
First credits granted:-))))
And 20K Boinc-Credits!
What a fine day:-))))

Hi, I just started crunching

Hi, I just started crunching three days ago, just joined team Back Bay Astronomers (2nd member to join), and just now discovered this forum.
I won't have much time to spend here, but wanted to introduce myself. I am in Virginia Beach, Virginia, on the east coast of the USA. I am an avid Amateur Astronomer and prez of our local club, the Back Bay Amateur Astronomers.
I used to run Seti@home but got fed up with it when it appeared to be doing busywork instead of real science. One period of a couple of days when my cable was out and I had no contact with the Internet, the screensaver Seti@home was running merrily, as if it was doing what it was supposed to be doing. I decided it was all for show, and quit.
I hope this research and analysis of data for gravity waves actually pans out.

Me too.
LIGO and GEO are just getting ready to start the S4 run later this month, which will be a factor of a few more senstive than an previous runs. We estimate that with this new data we should be able to see perhaps five or six hundred parsecs, which increases the odds that there are at least a few pulsars within our search volume. Now we just have to hope that one of these pulsars is distorted enough and spinning quickly!
[PS: one comment on semantics. 'Gravity waves' is an old term that refers to waves on the surface of the ocean or similar. We are looking for 'Gravitational waves'.]

This is what sets this project apart from all of the other BOINC projects - the personal involvement of the Project Director in the message boards and the level and frequency of feedback from the project to it's participants.
Thank you very much, Bruce. It really is appreciated. :)
Be lucky,

Being an astronomy fan, I really like Einstein@home compared to some other Boinc projects. I hope some good science will come out of it. Just glad to do my little part.
Thanx
Hello from Space City.

Hello from Space City. Thanks to the folks at Einstein@home for letting me help out with some serious science.
