Development for LHC@home

I'm considering setting up a BOINC Project COLDBEER@HOME.
It would use a special plug-in gizmo, like Radioactivity or QCN, but would simply take all the CPUpower to operate a fridge.
The system would automatically sense your geographic latitude so as to direct power to users in which ever global hemisphere was in summer, so as to ensure users there had their beer chilled to a temperature of optimum refreshment.

Interesting idea. What about using the heat generated to warm people's houses in winter? Let's call it gluhwein@home.

I think I'd rather home@ByronBay! :-)

Aww come on, we're having a Glorious Summer here in cold rainy Uxbridge!

Are we? I'm stuck on the top floor of Tower D with little windows eight feet above the floor, so I can't see out to see what the weather's like -- have to look at the Met site for the WX reports and the rainfall radar instead. Used to be in the office next door with a large picture-window overlooking LHR to the south -- rather hot in summer, though!

Life's a funny old thing.

I remember that site before it was built, riding along Brunel's railway through the tulip farms to Cowley Station. And then the Concrete came, a Temple to Engineering and Sciences. Well, that wasn't bad, but then they mucked it all up with schools of rubbish like Media Studies and Humanities, poor old Brunel would turn in his grave - unless he appreciated the cash coming in from overseas students.
So you mention Tower D - what the hell is that? Look at maps.
OMG that ugly pile, good job its hidden behind the trees.
I suppose it makes money, I suppose people like it. But it would have been Good if it just stayed doing Engineering and Science...
