It is that time of year again. Seti fundraising time. I just tossed in a c-note. More than that is needed to keep the project up and running in this new era of telescope changes and the increasing need for us, as volunteers, to keep processing what we have and what we shall acquire in the near future. Seti is OUR project, not just the property of the university in Berkeley. They do not fund it. They do not buy the project new servers. This is fact. We need YOUR support, not just in donating computer time. The infrastructure has to be supported as well. So, I ask you to put just a little money where your heart is, kitties. Give what you can directly to the general fund for Seti. I shall make it easy for you......... Here is the link. The recent problems with the carolyn server should be enough to explain the need. Even ten kibbles helps.....if enough of you do it. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ID: 1831290 ·

Perhaps they should, but I have no idea if an automatic mechanism is in place to handle them. In the meantime, how 'bout some more contributors to the drive? Even $10.00 gets you a shiny green star!
