NEW !!! TechSpot SETI@HOME Team

[Masque]

Maybe we should get Julio's okay before we "dub" it official, eh? He might get a tad annoyed with us. :giddy: :knock:

 

[MrGaribaldi]

Yeah, that might be a good idea...

Anyways, I don't think we'll need to come up with a name right now anyways...
AFAIK SETI hasn't found much yet...

But one could allways be surprised...

I seem to recall from when I was running SETI at such a box that it took closer to 20 hours to complete one block.... Or am I way off base?

Yeh it takes 19-20 hours on that machine to do a unit.

 

[MrGaribaldi]

Nice to know my memory isn't as bad as I thought...
(And it's bloody hard to find a place which sells quality upgrades too...!)

You'll also have a nice average time for each workunit then... But at least you'll rack up cpu time donated

 

[Masque]

Guys, is there a thread in here that explains the whole SETI@HOME/distributed computing thing? I understand the basics of how it works, but I've been giving it some consideration and I'd like to know what all it involves. Thanks in advance.

 

[MrGaribaldi]

I don't think we've got such a thread on this forum...

It goes a bit above what we concentrate on imo, but it's an interesting topic...

I suggest you that you google around a bit, and check out this site...
It's what got me started on DC in the first place...

 

[Masque]

Thanks....I'll do that MrG.

A big Welcome to Kenneth Bradfute & Neo-Fenix.:grinthumb

 

[novicegamer]

My results are not getting counted and I was wondering why.Does it only update every so often or do I ned to change something ???

 

[Didou]

The team page is updated a few times a day, sometimes under heavy traffic only once a day. Your personal statistics are updated a little more often & can been seen at -> http://setiathome2.ssl.berkeley.edu/fcgi-bin/fcgi?email=youremail%40provider&cmd=user_stats_new

Change youremail%40provider with your Email ( do not replace %40 with @, it will not work ) & you'll see your own results.

PS. Or simply go there & enter your Email at the bottom -> http://setiathome2.ssl.berkeley.edu/account_area.html

 

[novicegamer]

Im not really concerned about my personal stats I was just wondering why my results werent being updated.PS how come nobody welcomed me when I joined.And now that my stats are being updated I guess I will put good puter back on the team

 

[Didou]

I could've sworn I greated you into the team. I think those aliens deleted my post so that there's some discord in the team lowering the chances to find them.:suspiciou

Or maybe it just slipped my mind.

Anyways Welcome to the Team Novicegamer.

 

[SNGX1275]

Eh... Neo-Fenix just dropped me back to 10th place on the team heh, jk man.

Two is better than one

I just got 2nd CPU for my 2nd computer, now I have dual-P3 and dual-Celeron crunching Seti. I'll pass MrG and one year of CPU time shortly :approve:

 

[Didou]

Well Huzzah to that Mic.

( run MrG, RUN !!! )

We've also passed 11K results ( keep 'em coming ) & 9 years of computing time.

Congrats to all.

And to think that I'm only crunching on an AthlonXP 2500+ Barton with you not able to keep up so far...

If you can't overtake me now when using 4 cpu's and I only use 1 cpu....

Too bad I'm too broke to build another system atm...

 

[Spike]

Hey guys. My email address has changed, and I no longer have the one I signed up with. I've also lost the password. Would it be possible for somebody to kick me out of the account so I can re-join?

 

[Didou]

We can kick you out of the team but your account is still lost. You will have to create a new account & start at 0. Is that what you want ?

 

[Spike]

lol. yip. That is exactly what I want. Thankyou. I hadn't done much before I lost my password and email anyway. An unexpected reinstall lost me the text file it was in.

I'm a bit wiser these days. data stays on a seperate partition

Thanks

 

[Didou]

I'll remove you from the team later but you can allready join again with your new account, no problems there.

 

[Didou]

BTW are you sure you want me to remove you ? That means taking out 11 WU from the team total.

 

[Spike]

well, I would appreciate it. I would like to add myself in as spike again. Two spikes would make a febnce, and we wouldn't want that! lol

I'll set the computer working with my broadband connection overnight. I'll bring back those 11 units in no time!

 

[Didou]

Done.

Oh & BTW...

12K UNITS !!!

 

[Spike]

OK, that's INSANE!!! I've just created a new account. I've been credited with 1 WU's! I guess I used my most current details at the time (always a good idea!) I was sure I used a different email. ah well. sorry for any inconvenience. I'll rejoin now. (BTW, the password sending form told me no such user when I asked for this address earlier!lol)

OK, 12K, WELL DONE GUYS!

EDIT: Hold on... maybe I was right. the join link tells me it doesn't have my details.

EDIT 2: OK, got it now! lol

 

[MrGaribaldi]

Nice, the team is growing and so are our results

Keep up the good work people!
