I'm very grateful to have this role in porting over the FAQs, both for the tremendous education I'm about to recieve (and boy, do I need it!), and a plethora of useful links for the new site. I am a new person here and I'm still sorting out names and roles, so bear with me as learn the ropes.  I look forward to meeting all you in the message boards, you can find me at berkeley.boinc as bowtieguru.

I'm Ed Moran, 59, retired in Bellingham, WA after 35 years as a contract tech in Silicon Valley. Moved north, returned to WWU to retrain as a tech journalist and, well, now I'm looking for adventure. I'm putting together a beginner's portal/directory site, boinc.info, The project list is live if you'd like to see it.

I'm very grateful to have this role in porting over the FAQs, both for the tremendous education I'm about to recieve (and boy, do I need it!), and a plethora of useful links for the new site. I am a new person here and I'm still sorting out names and roles, so bear with me as learn the ropes. I look forward to meeting all you in the message boards, you can find me at berkeley.boinc as bowtieguru.

Anyway, "I'm copying over links", meaning:

  • create hyperlinks where needed - open the orig boinc and compare the two entries, copy over links
  • test them - a few 404s here and there, mostly old info (yahoo widgets, etc) and images. I'm creating a list but holding off until any auto-checking is done, if any, etc.
  • basic formatting - I'm leaving behind the pages in good enough condition to go live, that way we don't have to come back. I assume someone will, but it's good not to have to worry about it.
