Actually, it's lucky I got an email sent from SETI with the password. It pointed out that we had an email fault on the exchange server. Lucky me eh? Now I look like a hero to the email admin.

Anyways, I've joined now.

Reg entries for SETI Service ..

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/RUNSERVICES

in there, add your SETI.EXE path ...

If you have it running on logon (not by screen saver) .. you should see it sitting in /CURRENTVERSION/RUN

you should remove it from there, and add it into RunServices

The only odd behaviour ive seen is if you logoff and logon again .. it sometimes stops .. but the idea of this is to run before you've logged on at all .. I just started it up from the menu, and no problems..

Golden rule with registry .. if your not sure, back it up before you change it !!!!!!!!

Thanks Viceroy.
I did that a while back but stopped after a HD reformat.

On another side note, anybody see JAG last night? I was flipping through the channels and saw a Seti screen on JAG. As it turned out, the JAG office people (?, sorry but I don't watch JAG) were talking about and running Seti@Home on their computers. The interesting part was finally getting to see what was supposed to happen when you find something. I had never seen that before.

JAG is an American TV show which I flip to sometimes to view Miss Catherine Bell.

As for Seti, it plays musical spikes. They shoot up out of the graph all over and very fast. Of course, this was data made for a TV show show so it might not be like the real thing at all.

As I understand it, they don't tell you anything when your computer finds something. It gets reported back to the central system, and then they confirm it. If they actually do find something interesting, they e-mail you after the fact. As far as I know, the SETI@Home program doesn't notify you of anything.

Of course for TV they had to make it interesting. There are so many shows / movies I just can't bring myself to watch because of how badly they abuse reality.

You mean like "The Net" with Sandra Bullock? That was the biggest joke I've ever seen. I can't believe some of my mates believed it.

For me, Independance day took the buscuit ..

Here we have an alien computer system .. of which we understood absolutly nothing about, yet .. they worked out all the instruction sets on the alien CPU's (whatever they were made from), managed to program a virus which understands the entire system to the point of being able to interupt all vital systems ... and not just that, they managed to find a com port with which to download it, using the very same protocol as the aliens do with which to download it ... and still had time to write a nice little GUI with which to display download % complete

Good job Activision weren't involved ... the GUI would have been excellent .. but the virus would have been full of bugs ... mind you saying that .. at least the Aliens would have just massed there forces and never attacked in any challenging manor

Okay here's a challenge to all the guys at the bottom. Not sure what the prize would be, maybe just congrats is enough or a little pat on the back. The challenge is for all the people below me ranked greater than 40 to play a game of cat and mouse. I'll be the mouse you be the cat. Come on can you catch me (pass me in rank)? Not much else is happening on the board so why not something a little different Any takers? Darknight? Heck I'm going to take down DanQ Just a little competitive, I think

Funny you should say that, I'd already set my sights on you as the next person to 'shoot for'. Now I guess I'll just have to stay off my computer so I can do it. Can do a unit in 12 hours if I'm using the computer, can do a unit in 8.5 if I don't... Better watch out

The interesting race is Sten Sture, MarkG and don Don. They keep one upping each other. Every day when I run SetiTeam, they have traded places. Carlos113 and Murgatroyd is fixing to get interesting also.

If any of you are looking for a less strenuous version of a client processor, try Entropia 2000, available at http://www.entropia.com . It does AIDs research from Aids@Home. The interface is very nice and it doesn't appear to be nearly as compute intensive as Seti@Home. Personally, I am running the DOS Seti@Home and the windows screen-saver Entropia versions at the same time for testing. Talk about watching the CPU go to 100%. Another option is the Pioneer client from Parabon, http://www.parabon.com . It does cancer research which is what I am shooting for but alas the Pioneer client sucks big time.

Thanks Skorpion for those other suggestions. Though I like the idea of 'discovering' new life, I think it may be more important for the AIDs or Cancer ones. I didn't know there were similar programs for them. I'll have to check them out. Thanks!

Hey, OmniGod, I finally passed you on the list I switched over to the command line version instead of the pretty graphics version and am now getting a work unit done in 6.5-7.5 hours. Woohoo!

Yeah, the DOS or CLI (command line interface) version is the one to run. It is much faster than the Windows version. It takes more effort but it is worth it.

Just don't fire it up when your 6 hours into an 8 hour video encoding session. Had to learn that one the hard way. Oh well, live and learn.

about these radio signals--

they come from that big-ass satelite dish that you always see in movies, right?
(Aracebo?)

by the way--
let me know if you find some aliens

LOL


but seriously--
the seti@home program is a great thing!
(i used to run the screensaver, a few years ago)
i'm just suprised (and happy) this many of you are a part of it

Well folks, incase you haven't noticed...SETI at Berkeley has been down for the past few days. Evidently, vandels cut the fiber cables used for the SETI Project. The report stated the vandals were looking to salvage copper from other nearby cables

So if you haven't been able to connect to Berkeley to upload new data - this is why. The report states that service should be restored by Friday 02 March 2001.

No problems here yet. I use Setigate, I program that will cache SETI-units for you so that you can continue to process workunits even if the server is down. But it shouldn't last much longer. Depending on what else I'll be doing on my computer I have only for 16-20 hours of units left.

Sometimes a workunit has so much noise in it that SETI can't do anything with it and just asks for a new one. In that case you can get very fast units.
