Seti@home

[Troy Spiral (13)]

I am leaving my computer on line while at work and when i'm not home and when I sleep ....it has taken over my life....i wanna find ET or Mr. Spock

I've yet to look into it but i wonder what is supposed to happen if you find a "candidate" as they call them for E.T.

I mean does a screen pop up and say "omg you found a tone that has made X sound, this could be it!"

[Mikielikesit]

I was wondering when my monthly check is going to come in I have been working my fingers to the bone for these people and nothing...zip, zilck, nil and of course nada

I demand a rise.....

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Im having a problem were it wont seem to actually run the Seti @ Home program. It pops up with a cartoon like "Bionic POW!" symbol basicly telling me theres something wrong. GRRR. *bangs head on keyboard*

[Mikielikesit]

Here E.T. , E.T.......come on boy come on....Oh your such a good boy come here .....

[Mikielikesit]

Sorry, I have no clue on how to delegate CPU time, but I am sure it can be done. I am just not that smart ........but for some reason my computer has not been able to log on to the seti server for almost a week now which makes me wonder have we come to close to the truth and is the government interferring so we can not find out that they walk amoung us and that we are just cattle for their food..... .......AHHHHHHHHHHHH

It seems to be dividing equally now... I think I may have just been looking at the wrong stats before. Duh.

That's weird about not being able to hit the SETI server... I haven't had trouble except for last week when I couldn't get any stable net connection for a couple days. But that was a Comcast issue... OR WAS IT???!!!

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Finally got this working again on my home computer. For some reason it would freeze up and do nothing.

[hunhee]

yays!!!! I still hate that I have to MANUALLY set my ps3 to do it and not when it's just not in use. :/

What your PS3 is doing is protein folding, not SETI unless theres something i'm unaware of. (The built-in thing in PS3 isn't SETI@Home)

Odd that i'm encouraging more involvement in SETI since im fairly skeptical on the subject huh?

I vote you download the stuff above on your laptop and make a Hunhee account, join the DGN SETI team and actually do some E.T. hunting. We needs to find him!

d'OH you're right.. *peeks at the computer behind her* hmm... I think I meant the other computer.. :/

Ugh I don't think my laptop staying on would be good for anyone near it.. I think it's almost nuclear... hehe

Soon I'll be like Lain and have water running through it to cool it and stuff. ugh!

Ok then your still not absolved. Work computers must be hijacked if the (always on anyway) laptop is for some reason refusing to look for ET.

[Troy Spiral (13)]

No clue who "bob the goat god" is. Oo

[odims_sphere]

I just downloaded it and joined the DGN team.

I didn't know, with this dual core processor it uses them independantly, kinda like running it on two computers.

Sweet. Hopefully we can get more people to join.

It'll probably take awhile before you show up on the list. I know you have to finish 1 work unit and send it in, and then it seems to take like i'd say 12-24 hours for you to show up on the list.

If you can keep that computer running when your not there you should rack up the credits pretty fast. I have it running on two seperate computers and the older one is FAR slower than the newer one (both of them came out before dual core was even a term people were using regularly)

I did some extensive homework on it, basicly leaving your computer running, but just turning the monitor off is such a minor use of electricity its insane... and computer components are setup to run just fine nearly 24/7.

You can run it on multiple computers, which i think is how mike is racking up the points so fast. (along with leaving them on most of the time)

That "RAC" line in the stats means "Recent Average Credit" which i i think is a weekly average. Not totally sure though, will look it up at some point.

[jadnifer]

How do I get this set up so that i can become part of the DGN team??

go here and set up your boinc account, select the seti@home project to get started. Then go here to join the DGN team

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Damn odims that was some fast credit over such a short period of time. Do you have like the laptop running at home when your away or a work computer setup?

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Oh and if you have a password setup or "show login screen" on the screen saver it wont actually display right now on some versions of windows. If your using a computer that doesn't need a password on the screen saver i'd turn that off just because i like seeing the pretty screen saver.

I read its a bug that got created recently that they are fixing soon i guess.

[CandyQuackenbush]

I've been trying to D.L it on my computer, but I think I am doing it wrong. It gets all weird like when I try.

*shakes fist* DAMN YOU VISTA!

Anywho, Odims can do it for me when he gets home from work. *bats eyes*

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Just for the sake of maybe someone else that might have the same problem later but doesnt have help... are you getting an error message? Or just having trouble figuring out how to set the settings and such?

Might be a fairly common problem that others could be having. None of the machines i use have Vista so im unaware of any vista specific stuff (if it is vista specific)

[CandyQuackenbush]

Okay, trying this again.

I click on it, and hit "run"

Vista freaks out, and asks me if this is okay to do. I click yes on it.

Now it asks what type of installation I want. I'm going with the Single User, because it's recomended.

*edit*

Yesterday, when I tried this, it launched a shit ton of windows to open.

*edit again*

Guess I gave them the wrong e-mail, and now I can't find the damn file on my vista. I really hate vista. Now Odims really does have to do this when I get home.

I tried Troy, I really did.

Cuz ma Vista is stoooopid.

Yeah it sits at home churning away on my lappy 5000. Ok i made that up but yes my laptop just sits at home while I work. and like I said earlier it uses each processor independantly. Two 2Ghz processors churn through data pretty fast.

I want to set it up here at work too, but the IT nazi won't let us install anything, Hell we don't even have enough prevlidges to create a file folder on the network.!

I'm looking in to installing it on my thumb drive and running it from there, but I'm unsure how stable that'll be.

How to get rid of fleas w/out fogging the house?

Vacucum well and often, and then if you have carpeting or rugs thow some salt on them, the salt tears up their exteior structure killing them before they can reproduce and such.

Sweet.

And no once we get a fairly large number of users on this thing i'm not going to infilct a massive signature on all of DGN haha. I'll just turn it into a link, or a rotating sig that only shows up every once in awhile. It could get pretty big pretty fast, its already pushing what i'd consider acceptable signature height.
