            <title>QCN Testers Detect Quake in Los Angeles</title>

            <description><![CDATA[There was a magnitude 5.4 earthquake east of Los Angeles, detected by about 15 machines running QCN.  
Click here for more details.  Most machines
reported back to the servers with 2-4 seconds of the initial detection trigger.  These results 
(in addition to the previous quake in Reno a few months ago) show great promise for the QCN software!
So thanks and keep running QCN!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[New versions (2.81) have been put up for all platforms supported by QCN (Mac Intel, Mac PPC, Windows).
This version fixes some bugs and adds some enhancements to the SAC data produced by the software.  It 
also adds support for the codemercs.com JoyWarrior 24F8 External USB accelerometer on Mac and Windows.
To get the new software, just click 'Reset Project' of the 'Project Tab' on the 'Advanced' menu on BOINC.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[An alpha version of the QCN software for Windows has been created
which will work on Lenovo Thinkpad laptops.  If you have a Thinkpad 
please try it out and post any comments in the 'Windows' newsgroup.  Thanks!
Also thanks to Ben Suter, Stanford alum, for helping 'crack the code' for
the Thinkpads on QCN!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[We are happy to report that two QCN alpha test participants who live in and
near Reno Nevada detected vibrations from the recent Magnitude 5.1
earthquake in Reno using QCN software. We're very excited and are currently
preparing a paper to show these preliminary results, i.e. that the QCN
software seems to detect real seismic events and report to our servers
within seconds. Hopefully this is the start of a real system that can be
used for advanced warning someday! We're also happy to report that both
participants and their laptops are fine! :-)

            <description><![CDATA[Thanks to all those taking part in the alpha test!  New versions have been uploaded (version number 2.46) for the Intel and PowerPC Macs, and Windows.  Note the Windows version is still 'graphics only' as the accelerometer work has not begun.  Next stage will be server side analysis to see if triggers match any known seismic events.]]></description>
