I recently got my account active and joined the KWSN team. We only have the two of us!  Is anyone else due to join up soon?
 YEEOOOOW! |

Hadn't heard of Prime Grid until you mentioned it.
http://www.primegrid.com/
Looks like the purposes are:
A. Test Perl programming with BOINC
B. Something related to cryptography?
At first glance, not as interesting as other projects to me... |

Uhh... Forgive me but why would you WANT to implement BOINC in Perl?!? I mean don't get me wrong... perl is great for some things. Quick scripts, text manipulation and code obfuscation being its primary uses but to build an entire web-based system on it? They must be a bunch of loonies! |

My name rhymes with Bologna. 
Perl script thing aside, it seems to me to be a good companion for the XtremLab at the moment as Prime is Windows-only and Xtrem is Linux-only. |

Seems the new PrimeGrid WU's are a lot shorter than the old ones. Now like 10 minutes or so to complete a WU instead of about 3 hours. Also I have over 3K in PrimeGrid credit.
