And it's only been 9 months since my last blog entry. And as some of you may know the last year sucked in a major way. One of our cats died and it kind of went down hill from there. Angela was sick for most of it, and was totally out of commission for the last 7 weeks of the year. To top it all off Angela may have proven that her raccoons can out-think me. But that year is over, and we're going to forget all about it.

So once again, I'm going to commit myself to trying to improve communication between the project staff and the volunteers. And this time I mean it. A posting a week, at least. I'll even try to keep some of them interesting, although as usual I won't promise to stick to SETI@home, Astronomy, or even life in the universe. Matt does a pretty good job of explaining the day to day challenges we face, so I'll spend time discussing broader topics.

Catch you next week.

Thanks Eric,

Great to here that you are back on the forums beside Cuda.

One suggestion to make these updates easier is to keep them short.

Even though Matt's updates are short and sometimes incomplete, after reading enough of them most of what is going on can be pieced together.

Some of the reply threads become sort of a free format brainstorming that leads in interesting directions.

Whow, 9 months... I knew there was something missing. ;)

I wish you and Angela a happy and healthy new year!

Looking forward to your weekly(?) postings!

Yeah, I think the problem is that I felt that I needed to say something informative, educational, funny, interesting and important all at once which made blogging more difficult than it should have been.

I still may pontificate on occasion, but most postings will be shorter than that.

Just be yourself. Let us see that personality of yours and all those things you mentioned will follow naturally.

Eric, looking here and here might be a good occasion for being pontificate...

Especially the why (was it released early) and if (it affects science) are of great interest - at least to cool down the rumor mill.

That's what I'll blog about this week.... Not today though. Have an app to get into beta.

I like your old avatar much better. The new one makes you look about 14, which pretty much makes me feel like your grandmother.

My avatar will change again on Monday.
