What is APS@Home?

      Sadly, APS@Home is in a persistent vegetative state.  The project WAS doing some kind of atmospheric simulations, but, according the the APS@Home site, "it more efficient to wait for local machines to finish jobs than putting in the considerable effort required to keep a BOINC project running."  Too bad. 

     Because I don't have a lot to say here, I'll also add this:

Possible New BOINC Projects part 1


     BOINC wide teams is a wonderful thing.  If you have a BOINC team, like TEAM: Brian for instance, every time you join a new BOINC project, you have to create the same old team on the new project.  It gets tedious after a while.  So, from the makers of BOINC comes, BOINC wide teams.  You create a team once, and whenever someone creates a new, BOINC project, your automatically get your team created in that project.  Sweet!  Also, you get e-mailed when a new project is created, so it's kind of like insider info on the newest projects.  That's what this series of posts will be about.  Possible new BOINC projects that I find out about through

What is Pirates@Home

For the first, legitimate post of the new TEAM: Brian blog, I had to do my favorite project, Pirates@Home.  These guys are my favorite because they really take the pirate thing seriously.  They also, don't really

Let the New Information BEGIN!

     I have moved everything over from the old web page, and it makes me a little sad to see it go, but only a little.  An actual web page is a pain to maintain and unless you are dedicated to it, which I am definitely NOT!   I am decidedly not dedicated to either this blog, that web page, or the concept of BOINC teams as a whole, much less my own, personal team (which I created!)  I did this out of boredom and continued it out of novelty and trying to see if I could get a Google search to come up with my site first when I searched Team: Brian, which I did.  (I also tried to see if I could get it to come up when i searched Brian, which I didn't.)  That would have taken a LOT more dedication, which, as you know, i just don't have for this.  The theme for Team: Brian is apathy and the theme for this blog is whatever. 

     So, anyway, everything of any importance is here and it is now time to start updating information.  In transferring stuff, I realized that a lot of the information is really out of date and a lot of my attempted humor falls flat, especially if you are not reading the entire thing, beginning to end, like i wrote it.  So, all that will change, at some point.

     I don't think I'll release this to blogging sites or BOINC sites or the general public anytime soon.  Not until it is siginifigantly improved.  So, at this point, I guess I'm just talking to myself.  As usual.

What is XtremLab?

It's like, so xtreme! No, not really. It's more grids. You might want to see my previous ignorant rant on grids in the What is PrimeGrid? section, or you may find that bashing your head against the wall is less painful. Whatever you choose to do, I don't suggest you do either one. I suggest you go outside and run around like an idiot. Sure, you look dumb, but at least your outside.
