Thanks for answering Susan, Pam. Burning the candle at both ends here as usual.;)

Susan, I would suggest you get set up with BOINC as Pam detailed and then close BOINC altogether. If you want to reach the 750 milestone with Classic SETI@home you will need to run it as you have been. Once you reach your goal you can uninstall Classic SETI@home and start up BOINC.

The credit system is different so the credits won't transfer with you. The SETI@home/BOINC team at U.C. Berkeley Space Sciences Lab will have a final tally of all credits, teams, etc. that will remain as an archive for you to view in the future.

Depending on how fast you are crunching a workunit with Classic SETI@home you may not make the 750 goal before they completely shut down the Classic SETI@home servers.

Hope that helped.

Mark

Well thanks to everyone's help here I not only got BOINC up and ready to go, I am crunching SETI Classic at the rate of 4 hrs per WU! So I will hit my 750 WU badge here shortly. I am now being slowed down by the shutdown of the date servers at night. I have to boxes running SETI and have WU's ready to report and can't! Thanks everyone who helped me out!

3.08 no good?

Post by HurricaneJoanie » 03-29-2005 10:21 PM

Hey guys,

I'm still using 3.08 with no sign of "BOINC" in the "About" window...what do I need to do, if anything???

Thanks,
HJ

Uninstall SETI@home.

Then, go to http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/ and download BOINC. There are several projects and it will require a little bit of research and clicking around the site to find your way around.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Sheesh! It's been a long time!! Sorry about that.

Looks like I have to re-register. Do you remember what my old "handle" was? LOL

Wow, looka the date of that post! ;)

Maybe I can change my rank now that I have a machine that I can devote to some crunching.

I've mainly been doing SETI for the past couple of days but I'm going to split my time between SETI and Rosetta -- I found out that Rosetta might aid in cancer research, and, well ...

Welcome back John! :D Nice to have you crunching with us. A lot of folks come and go and lose interest and then get it back.

Yeah. My problem was that old computer. Won't get into the specifics but decided not to run stuff on it ... long story.

Anyway, getting back into the swing now. Now, all I have to win is the lotto and I'll get a seti farm going in the spare bedroom LOL. Man the wife would love that ;)

BTW, they don't have the "classic" version any more do they? The no-bells-n-whistles-graphics one that runs in command line mode? It seemed to run faster. I can't get the old one to work. Seems I could kick up my processing just a notch if I could run that baby too.

It's just the BOINC version now but there are a few "optimized" clients available that should cut your processing time down quite a bit on any machine. I think mine went from 2hrs. 42 mins. to 51 mins.

This will get you started:
http://www.marisan.nl/seti/

I guess there is an optimized version of SETI@home for the enhanced SETI@home. I haven't started using it yet but now I know where to get it. If you get it installed before I do let me know how it's going. Processing times etc. Processing times should be a lot longer with enhanced SETI@home either way you go, though, because they are doing more science with the workunits.

It was great hearing M Kaku getting so excited about the Seti program. Maybe this will help jumpstart things again, let's get people to download boinc...

Here is the new directed link for Seti@Home

Dear shirleypal:

We'd like to invite you to reconnect with SETI@home. Our records show that you've been with SETI@home since 29 June 2002, but it's been 1147 days since you last returned a work unit. We want you back, and here's why:

As we approach our 10th anniversary we are collecting data faster than ever before at the at the world's largest radio telecope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, using a state-of-the-art multibeam receiver, so we can now measure signals from 7 positions on the sky at once, with greater sensitivity to weak signals compared to the data from the flat feed antenna we've used since 1999. We've greatly increased the sensitivity of our data analysis, and the likelihood that we'll find the first signs of extraterrestrial life. We also released a second application, Astropulse, which will look for extremely short pulses of astronomical (and possibly intelligent) origin using the same multibeam data. We are close to finishing work on our Near Time Persistency Checker, which will be the first time we can generate an up-to-date list of interesting points in the sky, and adjust them, as fresh data come in every day.

With these new developments comes an increase in required computing power, for which we depend on people like you. We hope you will consider signing back on with SETI@home, and help in this wonderful scientific venture.

If you experienced problems running SETI@home, please try any of the resources listed at: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_help.php including the BOINC Online Help System which lets you talk live, over the Internet, with a help volunteer: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/help.php

We thank you for your involvement in SETI@home, and hope that you rejoin us in our search for signals from other worlds.

-- The SETI@home team

My uncle Invented the Hardware and Software the Stanford Solar Center uses to listen to solar flares radio emissions. It is cool. Plus I was given a tour of several SETI Installations. That was cool. I met Frank Drake, Met Seth, sometime next year I will be on the 120 inch Telescope at James Lick, it has been years since I have been up there.

One night we were watching aircraft using a viewer that not only saw visual light, but also IR. Sometimes you see things flying about near airports that are not visible to the eye, but show up on IR. These were not the IR sig you see from jet exhaust, The CG Officer said officially it is called "Natural Phenomena" and said that is all they are told.
