1) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Anyone creative and/or good at video production. (Message 447593) Posted 1 Nov 2006 by SlumLord Post: The Seti team just got the new x4500 server Thumper up and running and looking at the list of servers they could use more new ones. Sun's site says they currently have a contest going to win a new X4500. Even the Technical News says they would like to get a new server. If anyone has the skills of video production and are feeling generous they could enter this contest. Or maybe a Berkley film student would like to try their hand at a good oppertunity for experience. It seems like there are so many videos on the net that someone would want to take on the challenge.

3) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Auction off the old data recorder. (Message 354502) Posted 2 Jul 2006 by SlumLord Post: I was just reading about a lunch with Warren Buffet going for $620,100. Since the new data recorder has been installed couldn't the old one be auctioned off to raise funds for Seti? There have been stranger auctions than that. Seems like it would generate interest in the news which would have the added effect of more people joining the project.

7) Questions and Answers : Windows : BOINC Crashed while processing and will not run (Message 24068) Posted 9 Sep 2004 by SlumLord Post: I edited the client_state.xml file and removed the proxy section as suggested. Boinc tried to connect again right after I opened it then the proxy section was repopulated which caused another crashed. Man this sucks! I can't use BOINC at all!

He knows all and sees all. Hope that helps :)

That's one vote for Basti as forum moderator.

14) Questions and Answers : Preferences : URL of Background and Logo Image (Message 21830) Posted 3 Sep 2004 by SlumLord Post: In SETI@home Preferences I entered an incorrect URL for both the Background and Logo Image. Now BOINC wants to keep downloading the incorrect ones even though I have got the correct ones entered and downloaded. Will this eventually go away or does anyone know how to stop the download?

The "Seti/Boinc actually works for once" option. That would be nice. Oh, that was too mean. I didn't mean anything; I was jk.

(Message 18247) Posted 27 Aug 2004 by SlumLord Post: >Under the Disk tab a new colour has appeared - it now also displays BOINC >Free space ;-) > It freaked me out when I first downloaded and saw it, without looking at the key first. I think it went something like "AHH CPDN took over half my disk space". Then I looked at the key and saw that it was just free space allocated to BOINC. In the right graph, my free space is so large the it only shows a big black line for all the projects. Not really very useful.

(Message 18231) Posted 27 Aug 2004 by SlumLord Post: >I'll just keep classic running until it does (and I have work for it ;-) ) HeHe, True! I was also wondering what the new version of BOINC incorporates? I don't notice any new menu options. I guess it is just server improvements and compatibility with CPDN? I'm just waiting for the "Use your video card for crunching" option.
