Help medical science without donating your brain! -doobie- Feb 26 11:40am -16 comments- |

All you need to donate is your spare CPU cycles. Ulic Belouve, philanthropist extraordinaire, has set up a Folding@Home team for the JA to lend its CPUs to. What is Folding@Home? Funny you should ask:
"Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. We use novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine folding related disease." So head on over to the Folding@Home site, download the client, and put 31419 as your team number and help the JA do something good for the world! You can check our team progress at this site, although it looks like it only updates every few hours with new members. |

Stuff....ya know....things.... -Loaf- Feb 25 03:08pm -2 comments- |

Anways, a few bits of crap to tell everyone:
Firstly, Beatstick has sent in a demo called "Superman" for the academy. I haven't watched it yet 'cos my JKII is messed up  . Download here.
Secondly, AsoAron has set up a Dutch Academy channel for all people who are dutch, and...well go to the academy... So if your dutch (like Aso), or your a bit dutch (like Loaf), then take a visit: It's on ETG, and the channel name is #ja-nl. If you wanna go straight there, click here. Also, congrats to my old pal Jacen Solo who is our new Lead Knight! w00t! |

A note on sending emails to the Council... -doobie- Feb 24 11:41pm -7 comments- |

Just a few things... first off, if you're going to send us a picture to our Hotmail account, you need to remember that we require all pictures to be 250x250 pixels or smaller, and 25Kb or smaller. Please don't send us .bmp files, and PUHLEASE don't send us .psd (Photoshop files). We'll delete them .
Also, since it is a Hotmail account, we have limited space, so if you're going to send us a demo, send it to one of the JAC's personal email accounts (found in our profiles), not to the Hotmail account. When you only have 2 megabytes of space and someone send you an 800kb demo, your space runs out quickly |

We're up to $181! We're well on our way of meeting our goal of $500, but we're not quite there yet. Go steal mom's credit card or checking account, sign up for a PayPal account, and help the JA get a sexy new server! |

A note on conduct -DJ Sith- Feb 24 01:35am -15 comments- |

I've unbanned 3 students recently. They say that they'll act nicer, which is completely cool with me. I'm leaving this post as a reminder that I don't want the current students and trainers giving them a hard time. I don't want to hear about unprovoked agression towards these folks. Ok carry on. |

Resident Scottie, Jumpin Jedi, will be out of the JA for an undetermined amount of time. This means that all classes that he teaches will be cancelled, and that he has been modest and doesn't want to run for Lead Knight. Lets hope he returns soon... |
