I loaded this in response to the Radio 4 program.
I have previously taken part in the Nutritious Rice program which I was greatly happy to do.
I think that this is also a worthwhile project,
BUT I have had some problems with the computing preferences.
I am glad to say that I now seem to have overcome them and the project is now working as I want it to.
First I set it to defaults and it did no work at all for a few days.
Then I set it too high and it did loads of work but slowed my 'puter to a crawl, and interfered with my streaming video, - I have a slow connection.

Tips :
do not allow it to stay in swap space.
Set Cpu usage to around 60%
set in use to be around 3 - 5 mins

Hi Carrie

The reason that it did no work for a few days, is because there WAS no work for a few days.
That's the nature of things here.

And we're out of work again.
