    LHC@Home moved to QMUL back in May but hasn't had any where near the amount of work units for many people.

    The BOINCfest begins...

    The project, which I've really wanted to crunch for, is back up. The workunits have been regular, this week; so far, so good.

    Don't cross the streams

    Just remember Egons wise words when using particle accelerator.

    "Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

    Total protonic reversal."

    -Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon
