BlockQuoth the Raven:
As of today:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/stats/team/team_type_0.html
Talden's work unit production has placed it in the top 200 of all groups in the world. We are currently #8 in the small business category. But for a group of 150 or so gamers and developers this MUST be unheard of. I wish to thank Taldren for all their hard work for US. I hope Erik gets a good feeling when he looks at the Top 200 and realizes what he, Yeast the Beast, et. all at Taldren have created.
Big thank you to all in the SETI group.
Now lets get a new target, Erik?

It is still not too late to join the team or the Great Moo Hunt.

I must confess that this happened far faster than I thought could happen.
I was planning on getting some more Black9 screens for the SETI thread but I got rolled!
I am going to take three days off to go camping with my family, I will be back on Monday and then I will post some screens for you guys.
So the next Target... from what I can see there are two game related teams up ahead of us Halo and alt.games.diablo. However, I think I really want to take down SONY what can be cooler than that? And along the way we will knock over three countries: Estonia, Mexico and Taiwan! Wow!
Very cool guys.
I think I will work on some sort of prize for the SETI team at large - I will have to be creative but I think this is very cool.
Thank you all!

Congrats to the SETI team. The volume of work units that
the Taldren team cranks out is pretty amazing. Good work
guys.
May 10th marks my one year anniversary with the Taldren
team and my hamster powered P4 has done almost 900
work units.
Come on people, join up and put those spare CPU cycles
to good use.
-
I'm going to hit 60 in the week
-
I've got 818 units in there, kinda makes you feel all mushy inside.

Well we have also just crossed the 250,000 WU threshold.

Version 3.08 notes
<quote>Version 3.08 is a precautionary security release. There was a potential buffer overrun in the networking code of the client that is fixed with version 3.08. Note that to exploit this vulnerability, a potential attacker would have to trick the client into contacting a fake server rather than the actual SETI@home server. To our knowledge, no SETI@home client has ever been attacked in this manner. </quote>
Info on the exploit is found here http://spoor12.edup.tudelft.nl/SkyLined%20v4.2/?Advisories/Seti@home
although the site has been slashdotted and most likely won't be up at most hours of the day

I think i used to be on the Starlance group, but i dont remember, i just stuck myself and my measly 34 units on Taldren, figured someone could use em
I think its funny to note that Taldren passed Boeing.
-
Yay for our team! I moved my units from AMDMB.COM's team to Taldren's as soon as the group was formed. I'm glad I did! This is kinda cool.

Chipping in my 15 WUs a day...
-
Someone has already posted about the update in the SETI thread. I just don't think it will affect many people in our group because most of us use the command line client for faster processing. Thanks for posting this though.
-
Ok guys I just joined,
I've know about SETI for quite a while but had no idea that I could help out so easily.
Perhaps a recruitment thread explaning how easy it is and what SETI is, and how everyone can help might bring in more team members. Of course this might have already been done and I missed it, but I figured that it never hurts to make a suggestion.
-
And can someone explain this screensaver display to a novice?
-
Basically screen saver means it only runs when the screen saver kicks in. But if you have a good computer basicallly 1 gig or higher you can keep it running most of the time.
Cocomoe
-
Actually I was looking for an explanation of the meaning of the data displayed on the screensaver in layman's terms.
-
guess nobody knows...
-
*sigh* internet connection botched between the half hour I started writing this and when I finished... so when I hit send obviously it couldn't.. hit back and it's all gone.......
*sigh* well if I get the incentive to rewrite that spiel again I shall

Query on using XP Pro and Seti. (latest version).
I was using Me and doing about 10-12hr turn-arounds on each WU. Then I upgraded to XP Pro and it dropped to around 8-10hrs per WU, but now for some reason it has started freaking out. It takes like 50+ hours for each WU and when I leave it on screen saver, it puts an endless number of seti icons in the taskbar tray, literally over 100 AND makes no progress.
It really is puzzling, nothing has changed in my system from the time I upgraded (upgraded seti at the same time)
Any ideas?
Getting close to 700 here and this is hacking me off.
Thanks
Have a nice day! 
EDIT:: OOPS, IM already at 720, but other than that what I said above is true.
-
The problem is that Seti (SS - Screen saver) some times terminates and it will "autolaunch" a new process. It doesn't do anything though. I had this problem on XP when I would close SETI and the screen saver would kick-in when I had forgotten to manually run it again.
Best solution?
Switch to the commend line version
!
You will see times dramatically cut.

how do i set it to run in command line?
-
Can I run the command line version on XP Pro? I thought it would only run on Linux, etc. If so, that would rock.
Thanks for the response.
Have a nice day! 
-
Yes, go to the SETI download page and look for the Win32 command line version.
-
actually atjk I have a nifty little download that will auto install seti cmd line and run it as a service.
Here is what you need to do:
Download the seti.zip from http://people.dbq.edu/staff/swolfe/seti/seti.zip
Unzip contents to a temp directory
replace the file user_info.sah with the file of the same name from your current seti install. (doesn't matter what version)
Edit the seti.reg file (right click on it and select edit) so that the following line:
"Application"="c:\\program files\\seti\\idle.exe -proxy 172.16.100.137:5517"
becomes:
"Application"="c:\\program files\\seti\\idle.exe"
Then save changes.
Finally run the install.bat file.
This will do the following:
Install seti command line as a WindowsXP service (you can access it under the services menu).
Tell it to run always when the machine is on.
It will download Work Units whenever it needs them (as long as it has an internet connection)
A good program to get with this is seti queue if you are not always on the internet. If this is the case I can give you an easy setup for that.
Once all of this is done you can uninstall the screen saver version of seti.
ENJOY!!!!
