A few weeks ago I was in London for the day. I took the first train down, & finished work by early afternoon. My return train was at 8:46pm, so I spent the afternoon going round the Monopoly route. I thought it would be interesting to photograph London at such a unique time.
The below makes for an interesting read on challenger banks, with a step by step comparison of them 👉 Only the first chapter in the 6-part comparison series has been published so far (see here: builtformars.co.uk/banks) but appreciated the shoutout to @Barclays 😄

Sad to see this go. Was a novel way to harness significant amounts of compute pre-cloud. Still raises a smirk how high my rating went for amount of data processed during a time when I controlled the configuration of servers and desktops across a good sized campus
Thanks to the many volunteers who have helped crunch data for SETI@home in the last two decades. On March 31, the project will stop sending out new work to users, but this is not the end of public engagement in SETI research.
