After periods abroad, I now life just 2 km away from the Einstein@Home "headquarters", 20km from GEO600, so it's kind of the same neighbourhood. Of course I have to support it. I'm an SAP & Unix consultant, IT nerd and follower of the penguin OS. Plenty of other occupations, but neither is relevant here ;-)
Me of 2019:
----------------
Looking back, I might not have fully understood what E@H was about when I joined in 2005. I crunched for a bit with little progress, but back then a new project came up every other week, had to be tried out. With limited compute capacity I was invested into to many projects until I lost focus ~2011. Concentrating on non DC matters, I was simply running WCG for the time being. Maybe sparked by the movie Interstellar, then PBS SpaceTime I got hooked on gravitational effects, remembering E@H was working this field, finally realising what it's goals are.
I appreciate the direct contact to the project staff, the professionalism of the whole project, its stable operations.
Again, keep up the good work!

Me of ~2010:
--------------------
Basically, I love distributed computing and science fiction books. So I'm somehow predestined to crunch projects like SETI@home, Cosmology and Einstein@home. I want to help in understanding space and solve open questions.
I joined Einstein in 2005, but due to very long crunching times on my old AthlonXP, I decided to focus on other projects. When I finally upgraded to a new Quadcore CPU in 2007, this enabled me to crunch all the projects at the same time and since then I'm back. A second quad has been added since. From time to time also some old boxes join in, but the old XP is gone :-/
Currently I'm looking forward to the day Einstein will introduce a CUDA client. 2 G92 based cards stand ready for action.
Suggestions?
Keep up the good work!
