21) Message boards : Number crunching : For what it's worth, SETI@home is officially 21 (Message 2053639) Posted 19 Jul 2020 by Pierre A Renaud Post: Also, I noticed S@h had resent some WUs that apparently hadnt reached a final quorum on May 3rd (and possibly on other later dates) so this kinda late event is also likely to help you qualify for the 21 Year Club, Cavalry ^^ Hadn't noticed that the site came back, seems like it happened Monday (since I saw posts here from Jul 13)? And as of yesterday I saw the maintenance message back when BOINC tries to connect instead of that "feeder not running" one, so I guess I hit my 21 years at a time when the project had returned to... proper hibernation at least, and not when it was pretty much fully dead, as it seemed there for a while.

On pourrait les trouver dans les particules glacÃ©es, crachÃ©es par les geysers de ces lunes glacÃ©es de Jupiter et Saturne.

Enjoy! Martin

25) Message boards : SETI@home Science : SETI (Message 2052851) Posted 28 Jun 2020 by Pierre A Renaud Post: Right-on !!. My own musings about the probability of occurrence of conditions essential for sentient life put my lower limit at perhaps five such civilizations that would be able to be heard if the time/space numbers were right. Not too far from my "here and now as an intermittently flashing light in a chrstmas tree" prediction, which is one ^^ Good to hear that astronomers are no longer predicting "billions and billions". Rest in Peace Carl Sagan As you probably suspected he never said that, but his last book did discuss it. In the Billions department, Carl Sagan would have been dethroned since then, anyway...
26) Message boards : SETI@home Science : SETI (Message 2052845) Posted 28 Jun 2020 by Pierre A Renaud Post: Yes. John Michael Godier has a very odd way to speak:) I have seen some other youtube clips him speaking. But apart from that he is interesting and letting other scientists talk. He has an atmospheric voice that gives his channel a special aura (something I personally prefer in Twilight Zone or X-Files contexts : ) Another voice which makes me cringe even more is Anton Petrov's, but he will be forgiven as English is obviously not his first language, and he covers very competently the various topics he chooses to discuss. But regarding the word hiberation on the front page, just don't ask me about it.

38) Message boards : News : SETI@home hibernation (Message 2043775) Posted 9 Apr 2020 by Pierre A Renaud Post: There was for a short time SETI@CAMRAS https://www.camras.nl/en/use/public-camras-data/ https://www.camras.nl/en/use/seti-camras/ https://gitlab.camras.nl/marc/setiatcamras https://charon.camras.nl/public/setiatcamras/ but it seems to have been dropped like a hot potato :/ I want to switch to something, but would like to keep looking for ET's. Thx all! There aren't any others looking for ET's :( Einstein@Home is looking for pulsars and assorted gravity waves only its not looking for intelligent signals too like Astro Pulse is/was. There are a number of biology/life/medicine projects out there. But nothing that is looking for ET. I would be glad to be wrong. Let us know if you find one!!!!! Tom
39) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Life after SETI@home (Message 2043654) Posted 8 Apr 2020 by Pierre A Renaud Post: Until an effective vaccine against COVID-19 finally materializes I'll direct most of my CPU cycles to Rosetta mainly, and WCG (especially when IBM's OpenPandemics finally starts) as primary backup. Afterward I'll go back to Einstein, Asteroids and Milkyway (unless SETI@home resuscitates one way or the other).
40) Message boards : News : SETI@home and COVID-19 (Message 2043518) Posted 7 Apr 2020 by Pierre A Renaud Post: I've read on the Berkeley Online Newsletter that on April 7 Nobel prizewinner Sam Perlmutter will host a TV conference in Berkeley on the problems of data processing posed by COVID-19. I intend to attend. Tullio Sounds interesting, thanks ! Goes live in about 80 minutes (scheduyled for 1 pm pacific time, 15h utc, today)
