How come the SETI page (http://www.futurequest.net/Status/SETI.php) hasn't been updated since January? (At least that what it says.)[nbsp][nbsp]Have you stopped awarding IRM/IRO's?[nbsp][nbsp]Or is it a case of the same names coming up again and again?[nbsp][nbsp]Personally, I think there ought to be an extra prize for the first person to top 1000 units completed. :)

The project drops out of site now and then. Just like most UFO sightings. :)

I have been running it continuously since FQ started the contest. If there was an award for having the slowest computer with the most time, I would have it. 4101 hr 53 min total. 95 hr 23 min 34.5 sec for each packet.

Now I have a WebRamp and all the computers on the network have net access. The RealVideo Linux box is processing for ET when it's not processing live video. I also got the NT fileserver into the act. Strange, as running the Seti@Home software made NT way more stable. Went 34 days without a reboot. (I crashed it ripping CDs :) )
How's that saying go? "Idle hands are the devil's workshop."? Maybe it should be "Idle CPU cycles are Microsoft's GPF errors."
