SETI History
100th Packet Completed 17 Sept 2001, 18:33:17
250th Packet Completed around the 20 October 2001
SETI User of the Day 29 October 2001.

I have also in the process of writing a small script that will display and store your SETI stats on your own personal webpage. Though its not done yet, it is functional. It will eventually store the results on the local server, using a text file or mySQL (User Configurable) and only pull SETI every so many hours to cut down on SETI web site traffic. Check it out as it sits today.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. Yes I do believe extraterrestrial life exists, though it may be very basic,
or far more advanced than we are currently.
Hopefully in the next 50 years we will be able to prove that life does
exist on other planets, even in the form of bacteria.
Side Affects.. I believe that besides basically putting all religion into
question (a good thing in my opinion), I think the discovery would greatly
increase human kinds strive to explore and rethink their place in the universe.
2. Yes we should transmit a beacon with basically the same information as the
'Voyager' probe sent out.
3. To do my small little part for the project is why I run it at home.
I HIGHLY advocate the user of the Command Line Client for those users running the Windows version. It is at least probably 5 times faster than the pretty GUI version.
