Woo hoo!!! … yah baby! As of today, I have over 1500 hours of computer time logged for Seti @ Home. 53 data units!! smile
Doing my part for space exploration by keeping both Pentium Pro CPUs in my machine (not to mention the 320Mb of ECC RAM) pumping full time !!! A space cowboy! Yah! That’s me!!
(for those of you about to mock me, I keep my victories small … makes those big victories seem so much more major (oooh … alliteration even!)

163 Units, 2368 hours.
We’ve got a guy on the board running over 1000 units and 5 years, IIRC.

Wowza! … that is great! (I was not aware that Seti@Home has been around that long … or is he just stacking multiple machines??)
Multiple machines…
BTW, are all of you members of the Straight Dope Seti team? We can use all the data units you got!
99 units and 2643 hours. Someone should come up with a sig generator like Satan’s smoke out thingee.
Bear_Nenno: I am not a member … I did not even know about such a thing … do tell.
JamesCarroll - sounds like a plan! … now who is the javamonster here?

Then click on the JOIN link and fill out the thing. I was browsing all the teams, and the Straight Dopers are doing pretty damn good. Once you join… HELL!!
714 work units completed; 1.61 Years CPU time.
I’ve been using the NT (text-based) version on a pair of Win98 machines with no problems.
And I’ve been with another SETI team since day one. (GASP!)
Woo hoo!! … joined up!
How do I get my name to link off to my web domain?
Ahem. alt.fan.cecil-adams. 960+ work units. The only advantage to being a LAN admin.
So, at least I’m tied to a Cecil Adams group. How 'bout you? Join The Straight Dopers today!
(Lazarus, try going to the user account area. I’m not sure, but I think this is where you can give a link.)
Hmmm…I’ve got 85 data units and 609 hours. That’s about 7 and 1/4 hours a unit. Did they stick me with the smaller units (no phallic jokes, please) or do I just have a very fast machine? I’m hoping for fast.
Thanks shooter!
Worked like a charm! … that link was as hot as a friend of mine after three drinks … no wait … that came out wrong! … hey … how you do you edit these things? …
Our 48th Team Straight Doper!
Lazarus7, welcome to the team! Be fully prepared to watch any SETI related thread you post in the future to sink like a stone. (Well, I guess it could be me…)
Other than that, welcome again and thanks for signing up. Feel free to recruit in airports for more members if you are so inclined.
[sub]PS: Bear_Nenno, are you on the team? What name?[/sub]
Join Today! Uncle Cecil Needs You!
I’ve done 47? 49? units but am away from my home pc so can’t confirm…average time is about 10 hours, although I run it constantly in the background, so it slows up sometimes…
I am not a member of any team, so am taking competing bids from the relevant teams for credit…
61 units, 1128 hours here. I’ll likely be joining the team later on. 
(Got to get to work right now.)
Are these guys going to have a Windows 2K veersion? Since I’ve upgraded at the office, my unit count has fallen off.
Maybe that is why my count is so low … I mean my computer sits most of the day while I am off elsewhere and it has two processors and more RAM than you can shake a stick at … but it is Win2K
Llama: All work units are 250k. It’s just that your machine, for some reason, processes faster than mosts.
My machine was a Celeron 550 w/256meg ram, and it took about 16 hours. Now it’s an Athlon w/256, and it takes only 10 hours, so my average time is dropping like a rock.

WOO HOO!!!
My G4 rocks!
Just joined the straight dopers. I couldn’t find my old account that I used a while ago… sniff…
