The mysterious kk2324 has surfaced!

Kevin, please accept this belated welcome to our team. Kevin joined us a few weeks ago, but I didn't know kk2324 was him. If any of you other peeps join, please be sure to email or call so I can properly introduce you to the team. Kevin, you've already racked up over 8,000 points, which is outstanding in such a short period of time. I've placed a proper welcome for you over on the grid.org forums under the Andrax recruiting thread.

I am so glad to have you on board. I mentioned your dad's surgery over at the grid, so he's gonna have a ton of folks praying for a speedy recovery. We have some of the most compassionate and caring folks you will ever meet. Again, Kevin, welcome aboard!

Props for my Peeps

Team Andrax on the move.

We currently rank #569 (World rankings--42,000+ teams) and are moving up a few spots everyday. However, if you look at who is in front of us and their production, only 3 teams last week between us and spot 100 outproduced us. In fact, our weekly production numbers are on par with teams in the top 50.

Kudos to everyone on this fine international team. We now stand at 89 members strong. Warm welcome to Tene, who joined us last night in the 89th spot. Keep the faith and keep crunching brothers and sisters. All welcome to join us. Looking for mate #90.

Lance today at the Dauphiné Libéré

(testing above: you may see the same image twice)


Lance on the penultimate stage of the Dauphiné Libéré today, the main tune-up race prior to the Tour. Notice the jersey design, left arm, on the Discovery kit. Yellow. The color of survivorship, the color of courage, the color of a champion.

Wear Yellow

The link above takes you to Nike's wear yellow site. Significant in the stories from survivors of this relentless disease posted here with their pictures. Inspiring in their courage and their smiles in the face of adversity. Worth a visit.

Screensaver Lifesaver

Screensaver lifesaver

Anyone, anywhere with access to a personal computer, could help find a cure for cancer by giving 'screensaver time' from their computers to the world's largest ever computational project, which will screen 3.5 billion molecules for cancer-fighting potential.

The project is being carried out by Oxford University's Centre for Computational Drug Discovery - a unique 'virtual centre' funded by the National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR), which is based in the Department of Chemistry and linked with international research groups via the worldwide web - in collaboration with United Devices, a US-based distributed computing technology company, and Intel, who are sponsoring the project.

How It Works

To join the effort to find a treatment for cancer and other devastating diseases, all you need is a PC and Internet access. Virtually any desktop or laptop PC can take part in finding a cure.

Installation Steps

1. Download the file.
2. Run the file you downloaded and follow the installation instructions.
3. Click on step two in my banner and join Team Andrax.

The program is approximately 2MB in size — only slightly larger than a floppy disk. When you run the program, it will automatically guide you through an installation process.

As the program runs, it uses your computer to begin processing a small packet of data. Once processing is complete (about a day later), the program sends the results back to a server and requests a new packet of data. If you aren't online when the processing is done, your computer will wait to send and receive data packets until the next time you're connected to the Internet.

The research program operates in the background, so you shouldn't notice it's running during computer use. It's designed to run only when computing resources are unused. As soon as you run an application that needs computing power, the research program will back down, and your computing performance will not be noticeably impacted.

Please consider joining us today. See banner at top of this page for the two simple steps that take less than 5 minutes. Nothing else to be done. All welcome to join.

The Survivor Movie: Why We Joined this Fight.

Roger & Kathy Cawthon, diagnosed with cancer within six weeks of each other, and following more than a year of aggressive cancer treatments, this dynamic husband-and-wife team celebrated their survival by completing the grueling 26.2-mile Marine Corps Marathon. The life-altering series of experiences is the platform from which they launched The Cancer Crusade.

Rob Meckel Joins Double Time

Rob hails from San Antonio, Texas and has joined our fabulous team with 2 computers crunching as teammate #88. The second computer is his mom's. Not sure Momma Rob knows she's working with Oxford on cancer research yet.

Rob, thanks so much for joining us in this fight to find a cure. Nate will be very excited to know we've got one more teammate doing what we can to combat this monster of a disease.
