“old-timers”

[Raptor^]

I've managed to recover the SP5 node, so now I have 6 processors running for the old timers

About 13-15 hours / WU on each of them (hmm perhaps I should put them on my main account after all...)

[Guru]

What hapend? Last week we where doing ~12wu's/day and now we are down to ~3!!!

[Helevitia]

the one and only machine I had going was removed involuntarily by my manager

[Raptor^]

I lost the 6 procs I had running. They probably managed 6-8 WU/day in total, so that might explain it

They'll be back, I just need them for doing this annoying work stuff on atm

The Cyrix has been on and off with seti over the past week. My brother was using it for *Napstering* and did not want it to dump (as it does sometimes when seti and other intensive tasks are running at the same time.

Well, I have inherited control of a PII 266 at work that is being used as a test environment for a CVS server. However, since it isn't actively being used most of the time...

I'm still trying to scheme a way to get my other computers up and running. I think I have enough parts to get the K6 system up, all I need is a case and PSU. I'll run over to a computer store tonight and pick one up.

Im gunna get PISSED if this homo team passes me with their 30 hour wu average time.

Looks like Im going to have to upgrade more machines just to stay ahead of those 486s kreeping up on me.

Would that be _PISSED_ as in really angry and upset, or would you be meaning _PISSED_ as in consuming far more alcohol than your bladder can tolorate??

That's a good question, and I'm glad you asked. I guess I could be so pissed, that a group of sorry ass machines passes me, that I will be really angry and upset. And, as a result of being *pissed*, I will, then, need to change my shorts.

I hope that clears any confusion.

Grrr... The bloody Computer Reneissance near me closed. What a PITA. I geuss I'm going to have to order a case. I really didn't want to have to go to that much trouble. I wish there was a REAL copmuter store near me. All we've got are stupid a$$ CompUSA's and sh*t. I HATE PHILADELPHIA!!!!

Ok, thats enough ranting about that. I'll live. Besides which, in a mere 2 1/2 weeks I get to go on vacation and I'll get to do some snow boarding for days on end. Ahhh, thats the life. I'll order a case next year.

Well, I'm getting a P2-400@447 and an old P133 set-up here at work to contribute.

Dear SETI@home user:
>
>Thanks for your participation in SETI@home. I'm happy to say that
>the project is going extremely well, thanks to the continued support of
>our millions of users. This newsletter covers the following:
>
> - Project status
> - Release of version 3 software
> - New sponsorship from One Cosmos and The Planetary Society
> - New SETI@home gear is here
>
>Dr. David P. Anderson
>Project Director, SETI@home
>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu
>
>PS: to be removed from our mailing list, see the bottom of this message.
>--------------------------
>PROJECT STATUS
>
>Halfway through our second year of operation, SETI@home has processed
>over 7000 hours of digitally-recorded signals from the Arecibo radio
>telescope, using the power of millions of Internet-connected computers.
>As this processing continues, SETI@home's own computers are
>doing the next phase, in which we separate man-made radio signals from
>those originating outside our solar system. Our goal is to detect
>signals from other civilizations.
>
>By using the Internet to form the world's most powerful computer,
>SETI@home has inspired other scientific computing projects,
>and is often credited (along with Napster) with defining a
>new generation of computer system design, called "peer-to-peer".
>
>Because of the strong continued interest in SETI@home, the project will
>continue for at least a year beyond its original ending time. Plans are
>not finalized, but we hope to expand our search to the
>southern-hemisphere sky, and to search new frequency bands.
>
>We will also try to make SETI@home more fun and interesting by adding
>new content and features to our web site. Our small but hard-working
>staff (5 part-time members) has had little time to work on this area,
>but we're expanding our efforts.
>
>--------------------------
>RELEASE OF VERSION 3 SOFTWARE
>
>After almost a year of testing and debugging, we recently released a
>major new version of our screensaver program. The new version does
>much better signal analysis; it looks for two new types of signals
>(pulses and triplets) and it covers a wider range of drift rates.
>As a result, it takes more time to process each work unit.
>
>The old version of SETI@home should automatically notify you when
>it's time to upgrade to the new version. You can download and
>install it from our web site:
>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/download.html
>
>--------------------------
>NEW SPONSORSHIP FROM ONE COSMOS NETWORK AND THE PLANETARY SOCIETY
>
>We're proud to announce an alliance of SETI@home with One Cosmos Network
>and The Planetary Society. This alliance will give us the financial
>support necessary to continue and expand SETI@home, as well as
>enabling us to provide a richer Web experience.
>
>Founded by Internet executive Joe Firmage and Ann Druyan, Carl Sagan's
>wife and collaborator of 20 years, One Cosmos Network is dedicated to
>carrying on Sagan's effort to humanize science and bring it to people
>everywhere. Toward this end, One Cosmos is constructing an Internet
>portal, OneCosmos.net, and a production studio, Cosmos Studios, which
>will create compelling science-based entertainment for television and film.
>Their first release is an updated, digitally remastered Collector's Edition
>of the Emmy and Peabody Award winning 13-hour television series, "Cosmos."
>The series is currently available for purchase in DVD or VHS format,
>with "The Music of Cosmos" available separately in a double-CD format;
>find them at http://OneCosmos.net.
>
>The Planetary Society is the founding sponsor of SETI@home, and its
>membership is open to anyone who shares the goals of exploring our
>solar system and searching for extraterrestrial life. In fact, the
>Society supports six different SETI efforts, along with many other
>projects in space exploration. We encourage you to join
>The Planetary Society and help advance their many worthy programs at
>http://planetary.org/html/member/JoinUs.html
>
>We are also extremely grateful to our other sponsors, including
>the University of California Digital Media Innovation Program,
>Sun Microsystems, Fuji Film Computer Products, Quantum, and
>the SETI Institute.
>
>Thanks also to the hundreds of individuals who have made
>contributions to SETI@home. Their names are listed at
>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/donorlist.html
>
>SETI@home is free for everyone, but if you can consider
>making a tax-deductible donation to SETI@home, please visit
>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/donor.html.
>
>--------------------------
>NEW SETI@HOME GEAR IS HERE
>
>While our goal is to detect life in outer space, we can't do that
>without the support of our fellow Earthlings. Last year, we introduced
>several SETI@home products in our online store. The response was so
>great that this year we've expanded the product line. There are great
>new sweatshirts, mugs, T-shirts, jackets, desk clocks, lapel pins,
>patches, and even a heat-sensitive mouse pad. Want more? How about
>your very own, very elegant, blown-glass globe? Or (our personal
>favorite) a stylus, red and black pens, and mechanical pencil packed
>into one very cool gravity-fed tool. You'll find them all online at
>http://www.exploratoriumstore.com/setihome.html.
>
>The profits from each sale help fund the SETI@home project
