We may not bring Baital home but I rejoined the active SETI members and
would love to hear if some of you will too.
Our team is still there waiting for us...

Can we team up again?

I received this yesterday:


Dear Frog:

We'd like to invite you to reconnect with SETI@home. Our records show
that you've been with SETI@home since 06 October 2000, (I've lost my US
credits of '97 till '00 ) but it's been 589 days since you last
returned a work unit. We want you back, and here's why:

There are exciting times for SETI@home. We recently installed a new
SETI@home data recorder at the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico.
This recorder is attached to a state-of-the-art multibeam receiver, so
we can now measure signals from 7 positions on the sky at once, with
greater sensitivity to weak signals compared to the data from the flat
feed antenna we've used since 1999. Coupled with a new application,
SETI@home Enhanced, we've greatly increased the sensitivity of our data
analysis, and the likelihood that we'll find the first signs of
extraterrestrial life. We're also testing a second application,
Astropulse, which will look for extremely short pulses of astronomical
(and possibly intelligent) origin.

With these new developments comes an increase in required computing
power, for which we depend on people like you. We hope you will
consider signing back on with SETI@home, and help in this wonderful
scientific venture.

Whether or now you resume running SETI@home, you can help us by filling
out a survey about the BOINC software used by SETI@home. We want to
make sure that SETI@home is easy to use for everyone, and your comments
will help us make this happen.

If you experienced problems running SETI@home, please visit the
Questions and Answers area of our web site. You may find the solution
to your problem there; if not, you can ask for help from project
volunteers and staff.

We thank you for your involvement in SETI@home, and hope that you
rejoin us in our search for signals from other worlds.

-- The SETI@home team

*Since Ray isnt there to cheer I'm willing to look for my pompoms, jump
on a table and do a french cancan for each active subscriber ;)
Nina, you have some powerful computers at your lab right?
Don't let them sleep at night :)
It doesnt matter how fast your puter is or how many you own or can use,
it's the old team spirit that caught us back in '97...

That's kind of weird, I was thinking of SETI@home last week, and went
and looked at their home pages. I've not been able to do work units
since I changed jobs, so I tried to download the screen saver for my
home machine, but unfortunately my machine fights too much with it, so
my participation will have to wait until I get a new one.

But my thoughts and prayers are with you, oh SETI Frog.
