Hi,
I have had my computer crunching data for a couple of days now.
I see the stats pages etc but my question is where do I look to see if my computer has picked out any interesting info?

Cheers
Shaun

Not really, individual results only becomes interesting when it can be duplicated over several observations at different time. Result are entered into the master database. The collection of data has been going on for ten years now. Recently activated software automatically check and score results for possible points of interest for future reobservation. It is the job of the Near Time Persistency Checker (NTPCKR, nitpicker) software to scan the database. This puts a heavy load on the database so the dev are still refining how they run it.
