I don't know that linux has a graphicsy version. Shame really cos it looks quite pretty.

Yeah! Maybe you'll even get concerned in 2 or 3 years... :lol:

EDIT: But then again, maybe I'll just be even further behind...

Hi, just joined the forum.

Was looking around for a SETI group to join. Then found this thread. I have just this minute dumped 631 units onto the group and achieved 13th position in the process.

How many involved here have used only a single computer for all their work units?

I noticed that your average is dropping at the moment... what box are you running now? 8O

Is it dropping? Hmmm. I've been using various Pentium iterations through the years, but when I switched to Powerbook, I became slightly annoyed (over several months) that the G4 really heated up and caused the fan to come on... I keep my TiBook near my consoles and such and I got tired of the fan noise - so I forwent using my home machine, and installed SETI on a 1.5Ghz P4 here at work. I've been using that since March of 2002.

Soon, we will all be dealing with some very unique work units:

http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/boin ... _plan.html

Oh, and on the issue of dropping... I've spent a lot of time out of the office - so perhaps all those llovely uninterrupted hours of processing helped the average a bit. There are many times I leave SETI running in the background while I go about my webslinging routines - rarely does it affect performance. So that might be it as well... not sure why else it would drop, though.

Ok! What's going on? Results per day has jumped from approx 60 a day to approx 170 a day.

I've also dropped a place to 14th although I am about 10 days off of going ahead of YakBeast (The great YAK himself?) and back into 13th. Running at approx 2.5 results per day.

Who just joined and dumped a load of results in? I can't compete with just my single machine. Gonna have to re-build my server and setup a farm.

Also, why isn't this sticky so that more people can see it so that they can decide whether or not to join.

Or even setup a new section off of the Forum Index for talk about the Team and SETI and Aliens and stuff. Maybe even Yaks in space.

Me raises hand (and I don't leave my PC on 24/7, so that's why my units are so low).

I don't believe in Yaks in space... :wink: But I'm much for stickifying this or setting up a new top level group.
