21) Message boards : MilkyWay@home Science : ASTRONOMY PICTURE OF THE DAY™ (Message 34089) Posted 2 Dec 2009 by mitrichr Post: It would be great to have a "share" application with things like Facebook, so that we could try with the photos to attract other people to the project. >>RSM
22) Message boards : MilkyWay@home Science : MilkyWay@Home Progress Report (Old) (Message 25676) Posted 16 Jun 2009 by mitrichr Post: All very nice- You guys could do a really cool screen saver based upon your subject matter. Screen savers are not just toys for us graphics fanatics. They help us sell the idea of BOINC to co-workers in our offices who stroll by our desks when they should be working. I got two others in my office because of screen savers. One guy was attracted by WCG's Help Conquer Cancer, the other by Einstein@home. You guys should be able to do something really cool. >>RSM
23) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Graphics (Message 1189) Posted 28 Dec 2007 by mitrichr Post: I know this is a very low priority since you don't have work units yet, but someday graphics would be nice. They don't have to be complex, just pretty to look at. I believe having graphics is a factor in the really big projects. I would actually love to work on that, but I can't get to that right now I, too, would love to be able to display graphics. I work in an environment where people come past my desk every day glance at my computer display and say, hey, what's that. Einstein project really turned some people on. All the biology stuff got a few people, but turned some others off. The idea of some sort of Milky Way graphics is really appealing.
24) Message boards : MilkyWay@home Science : Brandy new here, what's with the 7 minute tasks? (Message 1144) Posted 21 Dec 2007 by mitrichr Post: I just signed on to this project, and I see I got tasks rfeally quickly. But they are 7 minutes and change on my 2.5gig dual core. Is that typical? If it is always like that, then I have two other computers, PIII's, which are quite capable of meeting the dates. >>RSM
