Message 164378 - Posted: 7 Sep 2005, 20:53:28 UTC

For the last 6 years, I have enjoyed crunching through tens of thousands of SETI WU's. I have seen my computers changed from the Pentium 166 MHz with 32 MB RAM to P3 3.0 GHz with 1GB RAM. I have been glad that I can contribute to the SETI efforts in searching of ET.

Although the recent changes from SETI classic to BOINC did not look like a well thought out process to me, I still the collective efforts of the SETI crunchers will someday put big headlines on all news media and proof that truly we're not alone in the universe. This will truly make hundreds thousands of CPU years worthwhile. But for now, with all of the problems UCB's having with SETI BOINC project, I think it'll be a good time for me to take a break from the project and cut down on my utility bill.

I do plan on coming back to crunching more SETI WU's as soon as I find a job that pays REAL money to support my SETI "addiction." Hopefully by that time UCB will have all of the problems ironed out.

See y'all later. Keep an eye out for ET and Crunch on!
