I was thinking about it, but in the end it wasn't possible.  For one thing, I'm
on a modem at home which sucks, and I can't run this kind of thing from work.
I've never tried to run Beowulf on any chess server, and it is completely
untested.

If anyone out there is running it on a chess server please get in touch - I'd
love to know how well it's doing.  Also, if anyone is interested then write me
an email.  That's something that I really should do.

Yeah my life's really hectic.  I had to get up at 9:40 this morning.  Shucks.
Actually, my evenings are pretty busy.  I'm off to Rome for two days tomorrow
too, and this year I'm supposed to be writing up my thesis.  Damn.

Well, that's just how it goes.  If Dann has done a similar amount of work on at
least a dozen engines then it's a miracle he's managed to keep his job.

Cheers,
