Spike, you might want to take a look at http://server-sky.com/

Thanks Gene, I saw this when it first came up and it is definitely cool.
The Server-Sky site is about orbital computation.  Mine is the next two
steps beyond that: making a complete star-enclosing MBrain, then have that
MBrain use the star as a very slowly accelerating photon rocket to the next
star, where the two stars collide and combine to form a larger, much
brighter star several tens of millions of years after the trip begins.

OK so I figured out this Server-Sky site was written by Keith Loftstrom.
Excellent, me lad!  Great stuff.
