But on a good note, I have finished my first Gamma-ray pulsar search. My computer has searched a collection of data studied by a group from our very home town of Milwaukee over at UWM.
This group is searching for Einsteins pulsars in outer space to get a greater understanding of the laws of gravity. They utilize cloud computing to calculate collected data. My machine is connected through this cloud which allots part of my processor, memory, and hd space to the calculations. It hasn't found a pulsar yet, but this was its first completed search. So its only a matter of time before my computer discovers one. I leave it running 24/7 in the name of science!
