Hmm never heard of this before, but looks interesting... I'm thinking that I'll go about signing up :D

edit - signed up and joined the team... on a side note it could be hours of entertainment just watching all of the graphs and bars go by on the client as it analyzes data :)

Taleisin 08-15-2004 08:55 PM

try this little addon to it, it gives you a map and more information, plus doesn't slow SETI down to much to look at your progress.

(NOTE) the program must be put in the same folder as SETI to work.

SETIspy

here is a full list off all addons

The system I was running my SETI@Home on was down for a couple months, so after I got it back up I had to get it reinstalled. Figured I'd join up too and add what I've done to the totals. I love this program. :)

EDIT: Just picked up that SetiSpy program to fiddle around with.

Yeah, I had it running in the background for months, since I didn't do much with the computer. I sometimes used it for EQ to be able to play a second character, but as it's so old now (P3/600, 512 MB RAM, old GeForce2 card, 6 GB drive, and Win98) I can't seem to get it to run EQ without crashing on startup. So now it's just a "goof around on" system.

Maybe someday SOE will fix the game so it will run again, but I suspect it'll require downgrading EQ's requirements back to DX8.0 since it was them going to DX9 that left me unable to even start the game on it anymore.

/sigh

Hehe I was on my old PC which is why it wasn't going very fastly.. P3 500MHz Radeon 7500 256MB ram.. :D Should be a lot better on my usual computer hehe

Code:
600Mhz AMD K6 ( 100Mhz FSB ) 256Mbs of SDRAM ( 100Mhz FSB ) 1gig harddrive FreeBSD 4.10 Unix

This machine seems to be working very poorly now. If I could scrape up some money I'd upgrade it and get WinXP on it. When I first reinstalled on it, I tried Debian before I found my Win98 disc, but between not knowing enough about Linux yet (and not having the patience to learn right now unfortunately) and shortly after finding my Win98 CD, I just wiped and started over.

I just noticed according to my SETI Spy progress page, my rate is dropping. I think it was somewhere around 3 - 4 % per hour when I first reinstalled SETI@Home, but now it's down to 1.6 % per hour. Probably just have to reboot the stupid system to refresh the page file. I hate Windows9x anymore.

EDIT: Just rebooted and it's still a low progress rate. I guess I'll just have to let it be until I can spend some time tinkering with settings. At least it's still working and getting things done. :)

Here are my seti stats. I don't think that I'll be joining any team though. I have better stats than your whole team right now. 8)

bah like we would even want a mort in the group :p

Crackmaster 08-23-2004 07:48 AM

Well considering we just started last week, and you've been going on for what appears to be a year, I'd expect you to have more...

Good job mortis :D
