PATRICK
STEWART KNIGHTED
NEW!!
Rise,
Sir Patrick! I'm sure you'll all want to
join me in congratulating Patrick Stewart.
As you may or may not know, our most famous
Mirfield actor has been recognized in the
New Year's Honours List. Indeed, what a
honour it is to know that I went to the
same school as Sir Patrick, namely, Crowlees
Boys' School.
NEW!!
WORLD
COMMUNITY GRID NEW!!
OK,
I know this is not specifically about Mirfield.
However, I make no apologies for mentioning
it here. You may have never heard of the
World Community Grid (WCG) - but this is
an excellent way to use the spare resources
on your computer for the benefit of mankind.
This is known as grid or distributed computing
and the idea is to use interconnected computers
throughout the world to simulate a supercomputer.
WCG has some very worthwhile projects running
at present - for example, Help Cure Muscular
Dystrophy and Help Fight Childhood
Cancer. You can join a team if you want.
I decided to join the UK BOINC Team (BOINC
is the software that you will need to install
on your computer). I've been contributing
to this very worthwhile cause for almost
two and a half years. Anyway, if you're
interested, click here.
