AAARGH! Welcome, mates, to the Pirates@Home project!
This is a test of the the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC).
Pirates@Home is an ongoing test of BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing. Pirates@Home is currently being used to test BOINC's forum software for possible use by another project, Interactions in Understanding the Universe. At present Pirates@Home is not doing any real scientific computation, we are just having fun with BOINC. You can read more about the current goals of Pirates@Home here.

Pirates@Home was previously used to develop both experience and software (including a nifty screensave) for Einstein@Home. That project is now running quite succesfully, and you are encouraged to join and contribute your spare computing cycles to the search for gravitational waves. You can learn more about Einstein@Home here.

Pirates@Home is always under development, so please don't expect it to work all the time. In fact, right now we have very little work, just occasional tests.
