Actually, started in May of 2008, shortly after the game went public. The pat-on-the-back markers regarding my contributions is also totally skewed from what I did, in terms of the number of things I suggested that were later incorporated, bugs reported, assistance to newbs provided, etc.

In foldit, as in life, it does one well to remember that often
times, the most subtle perturbation can result in the most pronounced effect, and that at others, a sledge hammer is required to make the most resistant move even a little.

On Rebuild:

xiando> xidawg: define Rebuild

xidawg> Rebuild is an auto-erratic function that plays with itself until you
                        make it  quit.


And a Foldit  "best moment" for me goes something like this...

>rmmule "this is hard"

>rmmule "y are you even playing this?"

>Nicky666  "because it's hard"

and


"DarkJMKnight: Meh... I just don't have the time for vague instructions. I get enough of those at work."


The mind is a beautiful and terrifying place, full of chaos and order, dancing in an endless duel from birth to death
