World Community Grid

Today I want to introduce WCG (to whom does not know so far).

First, why world community ? "Our work is built on the belief that technological innovation combined with visionary scientific research and large-scale volunteerism can change our world for the better." Source : WCG's home page

Second, it's a grid ("Grid computing is an emerging computing model that distributes processing across a parallel infrastructure. Throughput is increased by networking many heterogeneous resources across administrative boundaries to model a virtual computer architecture." Source : Wikipedia)

I kindly ask you folks who may donate your idle computer time to this project. It was good to know that I could help, among other projects, in Help Defeat Cancer Project.

Let me show to you my team figures on Feb 23rd (Brasil) :

Current Members 307 (#35)
Retired Members 23
All-Time Members 330
Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s) (Rank) 54:343:13:50:01 (#111)
Points Generated (Rank) 14,061,399 (#118)
Results Returned (Rank) 54,055 (#119)

enjoy !

Web 2.0

When I have backache (it's tough to realize I'm getting older...), it's better to stay home checking Youtube, learning about Web 2.0 and mainly giving a LOT of attention to my wife.

First things first, any relationship depends on the quality time you spend with THE other person. Capital letters are mandatory when you refer to whom you love, listen to me.
Ok then, let's spend time in front of TV, even if I do prefer to stay online...

I have read some definitions on Web 2.0, collaborative tools and such stuff. To whom still have questions, please go to O'Reilly's definition of Web 2.0 (please click back to return).

But, if you prefer to see a short video, click below :

New Year's message (not in a bottle)

2007 has arrived !!!

I am impressed with end of year routine and how does it refresh our energies. Not necessarily on vacation, but to whom live far from where was born, like me and my wife, Christmas and New Years make me remember my family origins.

To get in touch with relatives and friends remind me what is really important to my life. And also, it feels like its time to refresh our projects, too (just like have a baby).

So that's it. Happy New Year to all of you and stay tuned !!
