Prior to the arrival of my ASIC mining gear I wanted to try to connect to the pool as a test, just to see if I could do it. All I have available to use as a miner is the gpu on my graphics card. I don't expect to accomplish anything with just a single gpu obviously, I only wanted to see if I could connect to the pool. I tried using GUIMiner to connect, but am not having any luck. This is what I'm seeing:

What am I do wrong? Everything, probably.
Thanks.
