Let's get to crunching!
Moderator: Super Moderators
Hmm.. went to the SETI@Home site and did a lot of roaming around - for a good while. I finally decided to create a user profile. When I was through and hit submit... nothing. Dead.
From the way people talk this happens a lot?? No biggie, I'll just do it later. But I am wondering about the frequency of outages that they apparently experience on the site. How have they managed to keep it going for so long if this happens on a regular basis?
Not ranting... really. Just wondering?

Awesome Gwen!!! Thank YOU. I have a secret mission to keep that link alive (by incessantly reactivating this thread), in case there are others who wish to join (and I suspect there are many).
Again, I thank you for all this, Gwen. I hope in some small way, I can help you guys. Bless.
P.S. I probably will have to shout out for help. Hope you're ready!!!

Sorry about the message that I posted in the other thread here that seems to have disillusioned everyone. I will keep my personal opinions to myself from now on
I'm still here to help. Yes, I read your second post after reading the first one with all the questions and it looks like you are running but just in case, here is a link that shows you how to set up SETISpy, SETI Driver and the client version:
http://www.setisynergy.com/info/setup-c ... driver.php
It's been very helpful to me in the past. However, I don't use SETISpy anymore because I want as little running as is absolutely necessary.
The good thing about SETI Driver is that it caches workunits for you. SETISpy doesn't.
But, if you have both of these front-ends they were built to work together and the only one you need to open is SETISpy. It will open Driver and the client for you. That is, after you get it set up.
Let me know if you see any more problems.

Sorry... I thought we were supposed to turn the light off when we left.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by lrs:

Thanks, guys. Please keep postin'. </font>
It is nice seeing some activity here, though. For the record, I've found the fastest I can crunch without doing anything hyperscientific is to run the command line version of SETI@ and seti driver. I cache four WU's for those times like right about now when I can't connect to the server.
Someday, maybe when this effort ends... as it has threatened to do a time or two... I still plan to hop on some distributed processing project. It is too cool knowing my computer is doing something useful when I'm not, which is most of the time.
I'll.... just leave the light on, then.

Come on lrs - I'm not seeing your name in the chart with the rest of the team members! You woke the place from it's slumber, and now we could use you on the team!
Right Gwen??
Well - I've got mine set at 5 caches - always working 1 and have 4 to spare. Thought that might be a bit many at first, but with the way the server works most of the time, I feel that's about right.
I filled out my user profile @ SETI - something I see that no one else on the team has done. How come? Tha's something I'd like to see. Let's get our team personalized a little bit.
And come on lrs... jump in with both feet!
PS - Mark- Thanks for the answers. I've got everything running pretty smoothly now.

That's right, Doug. There have been some problems with Seti@home the past few days..something about a cut fiber during construction and they are still having problems with the Cogent link. I just got a few more WU's in my cache this morning, but it was sooooo slow downloading. Maybe that is the reason lrs hasn't gotten with us yet.
We really need to start doing Kudos again, too. I just haven't had much time..I'm sole caregiver for a sick husband and the demands on my time are great right now, but I will try and do better about posting.(and will try to get a profile up)
Gotta go...keep on crunchin', mateys.

No problem Gwen. You take care of your husband. That's far more important than SETI@home. Don't worry about not posting enough. I'm quite sure we all understand. I do... I am in the same position with my father.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Gwen:
Doug, I just read your Seti@home user profile...very nice. Thanks for putting the stats up in your post.</font>
Keep up the fantastic work!

Linnea - I see that the UBB code [TAB] [/TAB] doesn't work on this board... Just wondering if you know why? In the extremely unlikely event that you are unfamiliar with this code, check here.
It would allow for the posting things like the above stats table in a fixed font so that it would look... um, better.
