CTP2 and SETI Client

[skorpion59]

Thanks MJV96 for joining and bringing your 123 units. My guess is you have been doing this for a long time.

That puts us at 49 people and 11,100 units processed.

If the breakdown was a little better, instead of having a contest between different sights, we could have a contest between the Civ2, SMAC and CtP forums to see which forum does the most units in 24 hours. Oh well, maybe one of these days.

Right now it'll take me 36 hours altogether to finish this one off , at the start it was 13 hours total after 4 hours it was 20 hours total after 8 hours 28 hours total and now after 12 hours it is 36 hours.Theoretically i might never finish this workunit

Arrggh i come up as Dartkknight grrrr
Then again since it's the % finished is always going to be increasing even if it is by tiny amounts(at least until the chips rust up) then eventually it has to finish.
arggh me

Darkknight, you do know that you can change your name on the SETI site....just go to the home page: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu and click on the user account area. Then type in your email address and password to change user info. Don't remeber you're password? Just click on the link below the password screen and they will email it to you.

This way you can change your name from "Dartkknight" to the proper DarkKnight...or what ever you want it to be

Darkknight, in addition: You stated (rather eloquently) that your having problems with the completion time of your scan...are you running SETI@Home only during screensaver or are you running it constantly?

[Solver]

I run SETI all the time, except when I'm playing Multiplayer AoE II.

[OmniGod]

Me too... except it does slow down even the campaigns in AoE II... but I guess I can accept that for science

[Darkknight]

I have it on all the time but usually with CTP2 running so it doesn't have much CPU space.
70% at 33 hours.

Is there an apolyton distributed.net group?

Oh Wow .. been away for a while, and return to discover im not the only person using SETI Client .. nice one chaps .. Scorpion59 .. what do you need to know to get us added .. just our logon mail address for seti ??

As I said in the original post, your processor will only slow down if your running low on memory, and your using virtual memory .. otherwise its fine .. so for all you out there with 128Mb+ of RAM and P3 666+ .. don't be too suprised that you don't even notice it running with CTP2 (Im not envious at all ha ha)

Great more people. All you have to do is click on the "Apolyton Seti Group" link above. The page that comes up gives you the option to join our group.

EDIT: Here, this will make it that much easier.

I've got SETI running, but just need a password. I take it that comes from an email????

Hmmmm.... I wonder if work would notice if I loaded it onto the network's PDC.

If you don't know your password go to http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/get_passwd.html and enter the email address you used to register with SETI. Your password will be sent to that email address.

Nice one guys .. I can see quite a few of you have been firing those work units off like mad ...

For all those using W95/98 .. you can turn your SETI client into a service .. not many people realise that W95&98 have the ability to create Services (like NT), which start up when you first start 95 up (not when you logon). Many times I turn my machine on, go down stairs, get into something on TV and forget about the machine, which was sitting in LOGON .. and not sorting out any work units.

So, if anybodies interested, I can let you know how to start it up as a service .. just a quick addition into your registry.. no changes at all to any code in the seti program..

Wish I could forget about my computer once it's turned on sometimes. I have enough fans in this thing to cool it down during overclocking that when I hit the power switch it's like a prop plane warming up to take off down the runway No matter where I am in my house I can hear this thing running.

Regardless, I too have joined. Was part of the seti@home program several years ago but during new computers, formats, etc., I had forgotten all about it until I read this post. Look forward to helping in the cause!

[skorpion59]

This is great we can use as many as possible.

Viceroy, why don't you post the Registry entry in case anybody wants it. I know I would be interested in seeing how it works.

Side Note: If you run across a Seti conversation in another Apolyton forum, give them the link to this thread. This isn't just CtP2 users, it is for all Apolyton users.
