Yikes Guyver!
I guess you don't need to worry about any of us catching up to you anytime soon.

(Hecubus eyes his entire network of 100+ computers. Hmm... Nah, someone would notice.)

[bobby2]

Yes - Ive noticed Guyver speeding along nicely behind me - catching fast to say the least. Im damned if I'll let him pass though.

And thus - just for the MURC seti cause, Ive enrolled a room full (16 machines) of PII450 boxes for the seti cause. Now, if only I could work out how to get the seti process up as a service (Guyver - you must know you sod), and 'niced' so that it doesnt use resources ....

I Don't know about service, but it doesn't take much to add something to the startup groups as a batch file.

In a previous thread someone had posted a neat little routine where it runs the character client, then calls itself to rerun the batch file if it dies off.

exam..

@ECHO OFF
REM bat1.bat
seti.exe
call bat1.bat

That would do it for NT/95/98 . place a shortcut to the batch in the startup groups.

The seti GUI automatically runs at low priority under NT, it doesn't seem to take a lot of resources under 9x.

The character does take quite a few resources.

Under SCO you can place entries in one of 2 places.

/etc/rc2.d/ - you can create a file to start seti.

or in /etc/inittab - you can create an entry using the "once" - instead of off or respawn to start seti during boot.

If you have more than 1 processor, spawn more than one instance.

Wow, 500+ units out of nowhere!
Unless I missed something, which wouldn't be unusual.

Welcome to the top 10 Chris =).

[Ees]

So, did we all nod politely at Team Finland while rushing by? If not, no worries; if I'm not mistaken, we'll be waving at Nifty-serve later today...

[SteveC]

Noooooo! I'm being systematically squished out of the top ten! Ain't fair now that I've left my old work, I have just my one PC doing units....
Anyone know if there's a Psion3C version of the client? Or a Sharp scientific calculator version? (Getting desperate now!)

Cheers,
Steve

PS: Some or all of the above message may be wrong, or, just as likely, correct. Depends on what mood I'm in. And what you know. ;¬)

[Guyver]

Sorry Steve, But there is an Abacus version, unfortunately, you have to know shorthand when manually typing back the results....

Guyv

Well Steve if you get it working on a calculator, take hart there have been a rash of calculator overclocking articals on the net lately (hey I'm not makeing that up).

Guyver - Here comes Hecubus - ZOOM

[Guyver]

Just remember to wave nicely on your way by!!!

Guyv

[Hecubus]

Once again Brian is using me to distract your attention.
Last I checked, he and I were tied!
You must have come into some of that extra computing power in the last couple of days Brian?

[bobby2]

Last coupla days is the weekend where we can leave work with all the secretaries machines 'settying' their hearts away.

[Brian R.]

Actually, over the weekends, I sometimes visit a friend with some serious hardware for scientific work. She doesn't care if I play with her computers while they're off-line. I have helped her with alot of hardware upgrades.

Guyver - Wave...
(Only temporary)
