The Seti server is overloaded right now and plenty of my slaves are unable to upload and receive new work units. Maybe one day I will get off my but and setup SetiCache.
Craig - You sure are kicking some serious seti units!
Care to share your script with Paul and myself?

Chris, I've just about got the "kinks" worked out, so sometime in the next week I'm going to write up the procedure and offer it up to the HTF SETI community. It's pretty straightforward - just using some NT Resource Kit utilities to remotely set up SaH as a service. I'll make the script available too, although it will need to be modified because there's a few things in there unique to my situation. BTW, I'm using Regina REXX (freeware) as my scripting language, but this could be easily done in pretty much anything except the base DOS/NT batch language - Perl, WinBatch, VBScript (Windows Scripting Host), etc.

The Rogue is a slippery one...I am 11 units behind still and only 10 hours left on my estimated time to pass him.
I have found three more slaves to add to my empire.
Now...if Joseph actually ever loses that computer lab I will pass him in a week...but yet he still is cranking out the units!
I want a top 5 spot and be able to hold it...
Now wish me luck because our team is full of power crunchers...

The semester starts today, so I expect the machines
to begin getting tied up. I still may produce well on the
weekends. Before I leave each night I will also make
sure they are running.
Frankly, I'm not sure how my seti crunching will go
from this point onward.

dropping out of the race, but thanks for everything :) If I have any machines that are running it they'll probably continue for a little while, but they're going to more than likely drop off one by one. Best of luck getting into the top 100!
See ya,
Joey

Chris, I'm on my way over for that beer. Maybe I can drown my sorrows for dropping in the rankings

Update!
#108
Congratulations to Ben for climbing up to the #8 spot. I'll have to see if I can't locate a few more slaves so I can keep up. Meanwhile, I reached the 99th percentile this weekend (1300 units) and so I'm still celebrating that achievement.

Hmmm, I have to admit. My seti-crunchers are doing
better than I thought they would with the computer
lab being used for classes. Maybe I won't fall too far
off the pace.
Now if I can only convince the computer science department
to join in the effort.

I have a G4 dual and I was wondering if there is any way to run 2 instances of sETI on this system.

Just past Paul...sorry dude.
#4 on my way to 3# by tomorrow night I hope. I did lose a couple of slaves today but I have a couple of replacements in mind.

Just reached 2000 total CPU hours and my next little milestone will be to slip below 10 hours in average time per work unit.
This all happens as I slowly slide down the list. But I'm doing it proudly with my own computer. :)

Right on JIm
I was wondering what this thread was doing since it had been started so long ago
I never realized you guys were just chatting about Seti the whole time
I'm slowly approaching 2500 hours, but I've only got 102 work units

Oh well that's how slow it goes if you don't have slaves

I am in position to take over the #3 spot. I should be there in the next 4 hours.
Paul managed to drum up 7 slaves today and started closing on me!
Guess that means I need to drum up 10 more slaves. Bwaaaahahahahahahahaha!
