distributed computing/Terminal

First of all I came across this item—Self-modifying hardware via distributed genetic algorithms—on the intermittently marvellous Boing Boing.

It interested me enough to look at original website—Distributed Hardware Evolution Project.

Now I’m a fan of distributed computing projects. I’ve been running SETI@home for over four years—here’s my SETI@home stats.

I’m also looking to expand my unix/linux knowledge as I’ve recently got a G4 Dual 1.25GHz as my main machine at work. So in conjunction with the excellent Mac OS X in a Nutshell, I’m taking on little Terminal projects.

I therefore installed the client for this project. Want proof? Look at the stats page.

I’m proud of myself. Having now successfully installed Movable Type and now this, I’m feeling a little more confident in the Terminal.
