    Hi All,

    Does anyone use the Electric Sheep screensaver? http://www.electricsheep.org It uses distributed computing to make random screensavers - it seems very cool. Anyway I'm sure I'm not doing it justice so check the website for the full low down.

    Thought some of you might be interested! :D

    No no no you're missing the point! Its distributed computing, completely unique etc. etc. As it says on the site:
    When these computers "sleep", the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as "sheep". The result is a collective "android dream", an homage to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

    C'mon, that's pretty cool, right?? :D
