In search for the right DC project...

[TheyCallMeSAK]

Well, ive been doing RC5 for over a year, but am thinking of moving on. Now understand, i could NEVER leave TA, but i will leave RC5. Party of the reason im quitting RC5 is because of d.net showing no support for David McOwem. I've always known it to be the most pointless project out there, buts it just been a fun thing to do . Stats are a great creation . I just wish the other, more humanity benefitting projects would release clients and pproxies, etc that rival the d.net ones!

SETI interests me just for the reason that ive never done it, and I would always like to help out the great TA SETI team . The only thing i dun like about SETI is that it seems like another pointless project. I really could never expect for a computer of mine to discover radio transmissions from little green men. Lastly, its just as hard to pimp SETI as it is to pimp RC5. Pimping RC5 is hard cause it doesn't accomplish anything, same with SETI . And by pimping SETI people will think i have a thing for trying to find aliens or something

Nonetheless, I MUST crack something, and i MUST help out TA in some way . Give me a good project with a good client, an actual purpose that benefits humanity, hopefully some outlook for stuff like pproxies and personal stats to come, and I promise I can assimilate more than anyone

It's been a while since ive posted or even read this forum . I feel very guilty about it. You can't imagine how much I still love this place and want to help out . Just been busy over the summer with work, football, Earth 2025 clan, and social life. Hoping i can make a comeback in here.

Let me know if you have felt the same way about the DC projects TA participates in. Hope someone can offer some advice and stuff to get me cracking again with a chitload of computers. Hopefully we'll all see one of the newer projects improve and start to put out some good software and stats support. I'm willing to try the SETI client out and tickle my fancy with it until something better can be done

Thanks guys, feels great to be back

What if we detect another intelligence in the universe...most people when asked think there is but what if could actually be proven. Think about that.

Seti is like the whole earth reaching out for contact. Wouldn't you really want to be a part of such a grand effort. Maybe the current Seti methodolgy won't ever find that signal. It is part of the quest. If we only prove that contact can't be made in the current "test" it will contribute to eventual process that will have success.

I think it is a noble effort.

Dennilfloss was telling me about a project that has something to do with tracking near-earth asteroids and doing collision prediction - or something of that sort.

Anyone know about that? - It sounds useful and interesting.

DanC, what's your thoughts on this one.

I would go with SETI... Even though it's about finding extraterrestrial signals, it has a good client, a large following on the forum, and our team needs all the power we can muster these days... Even if you don't care about finding signs of alien life, you can participate solely for the stats and the cracking... That's why I do it

Hey SAK, there's a TWTA SETI mini-team....

SETI does accomplish something if it finds a signal ,even if this particular project doesn't find something it keeps the interest high for future projects.

And by pimping SETI people will think i have a thing for trying to find aliens
That's true,what's wrong with that?

Why not at least run SETI for now until you find a project you feel at home with?
