    January ✩2015✩ competitions☺

    2015 has begun and the first micro challenges burst around us like so many firecrackers.
    As John Lennon might have said: So this 15, and what have we done? Another year over, a new one just begun.
    But first some cross-overs from the old year:

    December 29 2014 to January 02 2015 - "Despite my age I don't live in the past, but in the future" 2nd Rita Levi-Montalcini memorial
    We will enter the new year with Rosetta, organised by BOINC.Italy.

    December 30 2014 to January 04 2015 - Theodor Fontane Memory-Race
    My guess is that the ngb:setiteam wants to organise a Theodor Fontane Memorial-Race.
    They replied they need a lot of memory for a memorial? You'd better watch your RAM while crunching....

    December 31 2014 to January 01 2015 - 12 days of Christmas - Day Seven
    The UK Boinc Team (UBT) with the seventh -like dwarfs, only they dropped Doopey it seems- of their series of sudden micro challenges.
    Is already over as you read it.

    The UK Boinc Team (UBT) with the eighth of their series of sudden micro challenges.
    Over in the blink of an eye, so hurry if you want to compete.

    Impressive Universe-turbo action by Vaughan, unfortunately one day too late....
    (for the challenge, not for Vaughans overall top-10 position. In fact he may well have to continue for a day or two for that.)
