To understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases..
Posted by DeltaWolf7 | Filed under Random Content
You can help researchers to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases.
What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease?
Proteins are biology’s workhorses — its “nanomachines.” Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or “fold.” The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery.
Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. “misfold”), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes.
You can help by simply running a piece of software.
Folding@home is a distributed computing project — people from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer takes the project closer to our goals. Folding@home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems millions of times more challenging than previously achieved.

Supporting the little guy
Posted by DeltaWolf7 | Filed under Random Content
I read an atricle in the paper today that I feel very strongly about.
I fully agree that there is too much dog poo in the streets today in Wakefield.
“I have had problems with both cats and dogs fouling in and around my garden. The cats were sorted out reasonably quickly.
A scattering of orange peel ensured that they did not return, but the dogs are another matter.
With the government constantly going on about the increasing levels of obesity in children, I try to keep my four-year-old daughter active by walking to and from school with her.”

XOStore Xml Based Database Engine
Posted by DeltaWolf7 | Filed under Project News
I have been working on a new database engine done using Xml. The new engine which I have named XOStore, which is short for Xml Object Storage allows .NET developers to store objects and their states to disk.
This system means you can save an object to your hard drive and later load if over a LAN or any media as it was.
I plan to release the preview version soon to collect feedback.

Windows Mobile Specialist Certification
Posted by DeltaWolf7 | Filed under Random Content
Today I completed the Microsoft Windows Mobile Specialist Certification for 2009. I have had both 2007 and 2008 in the past.
It’s not the hardest test you can take. You only really need to have done the courses, which take about 15min each to get to grips with new features in Windows Mobile 6.1 and the new devices currently supporting it.
Yay me anyway..
I am also thinking about doing my first exam towards my MCAD qualification this year. More news to come of the progress of that.
