Folding Flash : Promoting the cause of Folding@Home

ShortyShorty Manchester, UK Icrontian

Short-Media is proud to present a flash movie created by one of our members, Thrax

The reason for this endeavour? The Folding@Home distributed computer effort. Using spare CPU cycles to crunch mathamatical data used in research into some of the most deadly diseases and conditions in our modern world.
I was listening to this song one evening (1:30 AM EST...) and "Forever young.." kept going through my head even after the song was done. And I thought to myself "That's a particularly good theme for F@H. Let's do a video."

Having given myself a crash course in SWiSH about 14 months ago, I downloaded the newest version and gave it ago.

Needless to say, riding on the crest of innovation, I had completed this at about 7:30 AM and then collapsed in my bed. I gave a sneak peak to Shorty before I collapsed, now it's time to promote the cause that folding@home is.
Good work and hopefully it will help :)

    Only because of the AV Thrax.


    Well...maybe that flash also had something to do with lowering my defenses.
