Tutta55, what kind of a name is that? Well, in fact my real nickname is Tutta๕๕. ๕ is the Thai character 5. Which, of course, is not pronounced as five at all, but rather as 'haa'. Doesn't make it more logical? I guess not. It's just that I have a weak spot for Thailand, the country where I hope to move some day.
Besides this I suffer from a serious infliction called Boincitis. It is caused by a man-made virus created by the electricity suppliers. It makes me constantly search for new tastes of work to keep my computers from sitting idle. I do this together with my friends in the best distributed computing team in Belgium and neighbouring villages:
BOINC.BE - The team for Belgians and their friends, who love the smell of red glowing cpu's in the morning.
These are all BOINC projects I know. Latest changes are marked in red. Projects that are no longer active are shown in gray. I will keep on adapting this list as projects come and go. But of course you will understand if I give my BOINC.BE teammates the scoop ;-)
Note about the rating: This is my personal appreciation. I give 1 star for each of these criteria: technical quality, involvement of the project administrators, screensaver available, benefit to humanity. And 1 additional star for miscellaneous factors like atmosphere in the forum, amount and method of credit awarding. Some projects have no rating. That is mostly the case for those that have ceased, or too new to have an opinion on. If for some reason you feel your favourite project is done injustice, let me know at the e-mail address on the bottom of the page.
