SETI@home Part 3 (Take 2) (1 Viewer)

Hey, Chris,
Where's your update in big bright letters telling the world that we are #133? Looks like we moved up a slot recently! And it looks like Purdue is behind us by about 2000 WUs.
-Peter

 

[Chris White]

Thanks for the message Peter. I noticed yesterday that we were closing in on U. Michigan, but I just haven't had the chance to check yet today.

Hey Wayne - I notice you've really increased your Seti performance lately. A couple of weeks ago you were 700 units behind me and now you're less than 600 back! Did you discover a few extra slaves?

[Wayne Bundrick]

No, I haven't added any slaves since before I passed Mike Serrano and Mister Gin. It looks like I'm gaining about 25 units per day to close the gap.

 

[Robert Elrod]

Well I cleared 900 units, I don't think that is too bad. I am only using my Home and Work computer to process. Has there ever been a membership drive on the HTF?? They were going to include it in a newsletter, but I haven't heard anything about that in months.

We must have kicked major butt over the weekend -- we're now ranked #130! Wow!

[Jeff Blair]

augh, I know long time no post. I have to make a new account. I guess it deletes out the e-mail address after a certern time.

So I guess I have to start over from scrach. This stinks. Ohh well. all for the cause.

[Dennis Reno]

I received an email from Ron Eastman suggesting that I email all members of the SETI-HTF team as a way to (hopefully) generate interest from those who are no longer processing work units. I would like to do this, but I don't want to spend hours entering 160+ email addresses into Outlook (I'm not the world's fastest typist.) I have downloaded the list into an Excel spreadsheet and I'm trying to figure out how to add all of these email addresses into one big list. Any suggestions???

 

[Wayne Bundrick]

Paste the list as text into Word, then Replace '^p' (paragraph break) with '; ' (semicolon and space) to create a semicolon-delimited list. Then Paste that into Outlook.
I had an extended connectivity outage over the weekend... thank goodness for SetiQueue which kept my clients stocked with units!

I'm putting on my stealth moccasins to sneak past Dr. White at #8. It should happen sometime today.

[Chris White]

Are you sure you're ready for the pressure and responsibility that goes with being #8? It's not all prestige and glory you know!
Unfortunately Wayne, your productivity has taken a big upswing just as mine is tanking. Our tech center just installed Windows 2000 on three of my slaves located in a grad student office and now the Seti program only runs when there is a grad student actually using the machine. Bummer.

[Wayne Bundrick]

I'm not sure if I could handle being #8, so I think I'll just move on up to #7...

 

[Dennis Reno]

Need some more help Wayne! I've created the list, but how do I paste the entire list into Outlook without having to create a separate entry for each address???

 

[Ron Eastman]

Dennis - If you've got the list in word and each email address is on a separate line, highlight the space between email addresses and copy. Then go to Edit and select Find. Paste into the Find field and put a semicolon into the Replace field and choose to "Find and Replace". Then just highlight and copy that list and paste it into the address area of Outlook. Should work like a charm. If not, paste the list into an email (I don't have Word at home) and send it to me. I'll put colon separators in it and mail it back to you.
By the way, 4 more units and I hit 50! (I'm a really small time user running the screensaver on one PC at home.)

It's time to enjoy a lovely adult beverage in celebration of my 5000th unit.

Congrats Wayne. Download that lovely certificate and enjoy!

[BrianW]

Congratulations, Wayne.
Unfortunately, I'll be slipping in the ranks since I've lost my slaves (uprooted lab). I'm down to a measly one or two Work Units a day from my home machine.
It's been fun, though.

AND I've just received notice from SETI@Home that I've reached the 2500 work unit milestone!

Does anyone remember, or still have a copy of, the instructions to start SETI@Home as a service? Thanks,
