SETI....at time to reflect.

[BadThad]

I just wanted to take a moment say this SETI TeAm is amazing! Can you add to this?

/oldtimer mode on

Why, I can remember back when...

The TeAm was working to increase output to 1000 wu's/day.

Edited because I need to jog my memory.

 

[lane42]

When we had 421 members
Colin P was 1st in the standings with 17,514
Heavy metal was a God
Assim1 was my Mentor

When we had no SETI team members and we were debating if we should even have a SETI team.
Some of us were already running SETI but we were afraid that starting a SETI team would hurt the teams RC5 effort.

 

[cakin]

You guys are beginning to sound like a bunch of OLD FARTS!

Next will be the, "I walked 32 miles to miles to school in the snow croud!"

or

I finally had to give away my Commodore 64 since it wouldn't run Seti!

or

I can't believe I got a 10 meg hard drive for only $238.63

When the discussions were on UBB, but only when they were actually working. :Q

/me waves at all the oldtimers

[Wolfie]

A Slahr Dzhe sighting!!!! And a Curt Oien sighting!!!!

We have had our little scuffles but we have always been a true team. Things have changed little the last 5 years. [edit]yes 5 for me anyways[/edit] Some things, but not a lot.

Woot! Another 1999 thread!

[Wiz]

yeah, I remember the time when we used to watch the WU's go in to Berkley one at a time...

 

[Slahr Dzhe]

Oh yeah, almost forgot.. remember when you could put a space in your user name for the forums?

I haven't been on the TeAm long enough to post any "forgotten memories" or anything. The first thing I remember doing as a DC'er was clicking on Russ's sig link to his Sexy Twins

 

[Robor]

I remember the UBB days. How many resets did the board go through? You know, where you had to signup again and lost your old post count. The board sure is better now. Much more stable and faster (if you're a subscriber anyway).

Oh, when I joined the SETI team was floating around the mid-upper 30's to even the low 40's. We're doing a little better now.

 

[networkman]

I remember when the things at Berkeley were so slow that I proposed mailing the WUs in via the Post Office as they would even be faster! :Q I'm sure if I dig around enough, I could find that thread.

IIRC I joined the TA SETI team when I had about 367 WUs.. that was a LONG time ago! I was even using the GUI client at the time. :Q I've learned so much since then.

 

[Smoke]

I'd like to participate in this .... err, what are we talking about?

hmmm, I seem to be having a "Senior Moment" ... what was I going to say? :Q

You all will have them (Senior Moments) ... eventually.

And I bet some of you are having them already. LOL

I think we are becoming complacent with our recent climb in the standings but then that's another topic for another thread.

 

[Tetsuo316]

remember murc?

remember seti beta programs?

 

[Shuxclams]

The switch to ver. 3.03 and all the whining cause "work units took so long" Some of you even said you were going to quit....














SHUX

 

[ColinP]

Ahh the switch to 3.03, when the value of having the use of an ISP made up of Sparcs completely lost it's value !!!!!

I remember when MGallik was tearing it up with 6 WU/day, AVG (Binky) came along and was the big gun for a while, we were putting out 200 WU/day and going up the charts, then I got access to my fleet (around 30 machines with some 4 processor Sparcs) and took the lead. Never thought we'd be doing 8000 a day !! Never thought I'd be out of the top 10 with this many WUs !!!!

[Rattledagger]

Well, I remember then we hit 1000 users...
