There is a current thread in Cafe Einstein where Prof Bruce Allen has recently announced that due to his faith in the EAH servers handling the load, a 14 day deadline will be introduced for their next set of work units from the S4 science run. Maybe EAH will now be seen as a more attractive alternative project for the embattled Seti users wondering about just how large their validation queues will get before things start to improve.

One of the problems I've always had with S@H is that it is seems like a black hole for work, very little by way of report backs. A part of this concern is that the project seems to lack structure. It would seem more gratifying to me (perhaps others?) if science command would take the seti work load and separate it into meaningful subprojects. The quote above regarding E@H suggests they already have that structure. Segmenting the work, in what ever way makes scientific (or common) sense, and then reporting our collective results would be easier to get excited about.

May this Farce be with You

It would be nice, to see on the SETI/BOINC site, a page similar to the one on SETI/classic, which showed the number of tapes that have been processed, and the number of tapes that remain to be processed, etc.
