Its been a while since I’ve blogged about my Folding@Home management tool, now called Origami. There was a lull there in development for a while, but this last week I’ve done probably 20+ commits, which puts us up to version 0.6.6.1. There are now also two branches being maintained on Launchpad (bzr). One for trunk,… Read More »
I’m trying to come up with a more creative name for my folding @ home management tool. I put up a quick poll on the Ubuntu Forums. If you care to offer a vote or suggestions please take a minute and drop by. folding.sh renaming poll
I wanted to quickly toss something out there for all of you on the interweb. I spent some time last evening cleaning up a few of my code projects. If you have been using either of them you may want to update. apturl for Gnome Do I spent some time in the #gnome-do channel last… Read More »
Minor update available for folding.sh. For those interested the download is available in the traditional location as well as on Launchpad. Still working on a package folks. updated config file control, allowing commenting in the ~/.foldingrc added ‘migrate’ function, easing transitioning to new hardware added ‘version’ function as standalone (vs output via ‘help’) misc cleanup… Read More »

I’ve had a great lot of fun writing and developing this software, and based on the number… Read More »
I know we just had a folding release earlier today, and it is still super-awesome, but I had a little time to think this afternoon and I added a little bit more to it. I went with my wife to the doctor regarding the baby that is on the way and, well, you know how… Read More »
Well, its time again for another folding.sh update. This release, version 0.6, is a MAJOR update from all previous versions. This is one that I’m really proud of and I’ve tested pretty heavily. To give you an idea, I installed Stanford’s Folding @ Home client to ten machines on my network–all different distributions–by running one… Read More »
I wish I was announcing the release of Folding 0.6 today but I made a mistake with some of the revisions I had and lost them. Looks like I’ll be starting over on those additions. Those are (for those that are curious), a local backup and restore utility and also a remote backup and restore. … Read More »
Just three days after releasing 0.5.2 I’m repenting and reverting a bit with a 0.5.2.1 patch. This removes the renaming prompt at the main installer.
