UK astronomers to co-ordinate their search for alien signals British scientists are to make a concerted effort to look for alien life among the stars. |

solong as they choose a different part of space or radio frequency, method whatever, dont duplicate work already being done, the more `eyes` to the sky the better. |

The coverage of the Arecibo 'scope is very much oriented towards the Equator, whereas the 'scopes used by Merlin tend to be looking at more northerly latitudes. There will be some overlap, but that's not a bad thing. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

But SETI@home is only mentioned as a screensaver. I never used one on my Linux boxes and am running SETI@ome v7 and Astropulse V6 on my CPUs. Tullio |

But SETI@home is only mentioned as a screensaver. I never used one on my Linux boxes and am running SETI@ome v7 and Astropulse V6 on my CPUs. I used to run the old 'screensaver' via WINE on linux. I soon went optimised that then very deliberately didn't waste CPU cycles on showing pretty graphics! All in the days before GPUs. It will be very good if some funding can be gathered to add another data recorder for s@h and e@h to piggyback onto eMerlin. Even better if some long lived searches can be made.
