Deep Impact: Thank you for joining the QJ.net Folding@Home Team!

Yay for saving lives indeed, Barakku (Unregistered). We can’t help but feel very, very grateful (and lucky) for the overwhelming response to our invitation to you guys on PS3.QJ.net to join our Folding@Home Team. We still shake our heads in amazement every time we see the stats. There’s probably only one word to describe what we feel: miraculous.

As of a few minutes ago, the whole QJ F@H team, composed of 399 members, has completed 3,642 work units (WU) of research calculations, with an average of 442 active CPUs. Among all the teams registered, QJ ranks 621 out of 57,762 – and now you know why we’re still amazed. We have accumulated an aggregate of 837,391 points towards our team’s grand score (ceritificates for points and WU are reproduced below).

Congratulations on a job well done, QJ.net team! - Image 1 Congratulations on a job well done, QJ.net team! - Image 2 

As a point of comparison, lemme take you guys back to before the PS3 launch (in Japan/North America). Checking our pre-PS3 stats back then, only PCs were netted together, and the QJ F@H team was only composed of a handful of volunteer PCs. We did some good, but the stats weren’t this good. What a difference a PS3 and an open invitation can make!

This isn’t to set aside the efforts of our long-standing PC volunteers, though. Having been there longer, they’ve achieved so much through patient, hard work in the background – much like the tortoise racks up the miles one step at a time. And who knows? Perhaps our team’s PS3s are carrying on follow-on research on the products of our veteran PC members. We all pull together here.

Can we help it if we feel this way? (Fan art from FF Fanart Junction) - Image 1Our team. Has a certain affectionate ring to it, don’t it? When we think about it before we sleep, it’s like, “Damn, perhaps someone I love might one day be stricken with some dangerous disease, but by that day, we will have the knowledge to cure them.” It’s that thought that keeps us plugging F@H in our PS3 for as long as possible, every chance we get. I’d like to think it’s the same thought that drives you guys, too.

So again, from the bottom of our sometimes-jaded, but still pleasantly surprised hearts, we thank you. Thank you for getting QJ F@H to where it is today, and tomorrow, and the days to come. They say it’s hard to believe in miracles sometimes, but it’s harder not to when you’re looking at one on your PC screen, one work unit at a time.

[If you’ve got the PS3 or PC to spare, by the way, not hooked up to F@H, and are still interested in joining, by the way, the digits you’re looking for are 52781. That’s Team ID# 52781.]
