Sadly indeed, one of DrFoo's computers made a last contact with SETI@home's servers on January 25th. Thanks for your posting in his memory, and esp. if he was a personal friend of yours, my condolences. some one took over the machine he used. but finale retired it. he pass away a few years back. |

Well, I've been MIA for the past 15 months, continued to crunch at a lower pace, but missed the 19 year anniversary. But back now that I have two machines up and running again, so should start moving forward at a faster clip. Anyway looking for to the 20 year anniversary in less than two months... |

If I may say so, Chris, quitting isn't an option. Don't you remember this ad to which you initially responded, and its critical last sentence ? “Men and Women wanted for a hazardous distributed computing Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Low wages, bitter false positives, long hours of data crunching, overheating CPU's and GPUs. Safe return doubtful without caffeinated beverages. Honour and recognition in event of technosignal detection.†I may be there later this year, depends upon certain people and circumstances. Would be nice to get the big two-oh before the sunset beckons. Apr 3, 1999 - May 3, 2020 |

On a Number crunching section at LHC@home I found a link to a preprint by David Anderson describing BOINC. It is dated December 2018. It is the best description of BOINC I have ever read. Tullio |

Could you post that link? for those of us who do not crunch LHC@home. SETI@home classic workunits 4,019 SETI@home classic CPU time 34,348 hours |

From a link from our own https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ website. There is the notice of the paper about BOINC. https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.01699 There is another earlier one too.https://boinc.berkeley.edu/grid_paper_04.pdf Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Thanks Keith. My mouse, when linked to a Windows 10 PC, refuses to load an URL or to download it. Maybe because it is connected not by an USB cable but by radio? Tullio |

Wouldn't have anything to do with type of mouse. Something is not correct with your browser. You can always copy and paste into a new browser tab. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Ah, I have comfidence in your judgement. Just don't lose sight of the Honour and recognition in event of technosignal detection part lol If I may say so, Chris, quitting isn't an option Apr 3, 1999 - May 3, 2020 |
