... ,I was enticed by emails to come back, but it seems the same thing is happening that made me leave in the first place. ...


It also seems people are just interested in keeping the computers going to gain credit instead of actually finding ET. Isn't this what's it's all about ?


For some people, yes; what you need to remember is S@H is now only one part of a larger Distributed computing project called Boinc; A lot of people are only interested in the number-crunching game- not the individual merits of any one project. Don't believe me? Just check out the shoutbox on Boincstats: there's no loyalty to individual projects, just credit- chasers boasting about the latest mullti-million credit day- on BOINC. S@H has become a victim of its own pioneering.

Post:
SETI@home classic workunits 2,621
SETI@home classic CPU time 22,678 hours

I stopped in 2005- when my PC developed a severe case of death- until 2007, when I learnt about Boinc.
I never visited the boards, until the big server crisis last year.

I used to run the cli through seti-driver- you could actually cache wu's!!!

It was all a more underground kinda feel than Boinc gives it- not that I'm complaining....the more crunchers the better

I've always maintained that, so long as you aim for excellence in whatever you do, you cannot go wrong. Any progress is a success.

I was told one of those self-improvement mantras years ago:
Success is the gradual realisation of a series of pre-determined goals
ie: Know what you want to achieve and how to get there; and go for it, one step at a time.

No Probs, good Dr., it's good to see someone pushing aesthetics again.
I saw a Goldsworthy exhibition in Edinburgh's Botanic Gardens in 1990- it blew me away.

Ditto to that Dr C. I love to see the work
that can be wrought in natural material.
Have you seen any of Andy Goldsworthy's work?

To Beets, Purplem and Dr C- thanx, I'm chuffed,
as we say in Scouseland.

and I'm beginning to feel like a scratchy plastic disc with a hole in it
(note for post CD generation- songs used to be released on these things and they rotated at various speeds, including 45RPM)
