I'd join the Fractal team if you started one.

Ok, team # 236174 is team Fractal Forumites. If using the Fractal name turns out to be an issue, I'll change it- just let me know, @Admin M@ or @FractalAudio . I just used my forum name as my username. To join the team, simply input 236174 into the client after it installs under team number.

I'm on board with this.

does this tie up your computer for x amount of time? does it fully use your cpu so you can't do anything else while it's running?

I think it only uses idle time

It uses spare cycles. It won't interfere with other programs.

They’re telling all my coworkers in Seattle to work from home. It’s made it to Raleigh now so I’m thinking of working from home too.

Done and joined the team. I have a spare 12-core Xeon machine in the attic. I am going to set it up to run nothing but this.

I have to admit...I have a bit of a warm feeling that I'm doing SOMETHING to help here.

COVID19 just hit the state of Colorado. Governor, press conference, the whole shebang.

Yea, we had a bunch of customers for a tour last week that were looking for something to do because their physics conference in Denver was cancelled last minute.
