Pirates@home

Being Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept. 19th) Priates@home is sending out their annual work units. For those that don't know, the work units don't do anything. They are more or less just a thing for fun for those celebrating the event. Catch your fill and have fun.

Edit: I created an account called HardOCPtest so that anyone whom wanted to test or contribute anonymously could do so.

Looks like they sent out more work units (they do nothing and are very short running) to get peoples attention to the project. Apparently, the admin has an app for people to run on their phones for the holidays. Check out the post here: http://pirates.spy-hill.net/forum_thread.php?id=1114
