It took 76 hours, but s/he did it! That's one more WU than we had yesterday. Thanks, grrl, where ever you are!

Hello all, and thanks for the welcomes. I apologize for being slow, but I've been too harried lately to write. Today though the snowy-looking sky has slowed me down enough to respond. Plus, I recently finished my first WU and almost 1/3 done with the second!

However, I'm wondering if I should be embarrassed it took 76 hours to do. Maybe not, since I have SETI hooked up to my celery 433 machine at work. My 1 gig T-bird at home has no internet connection right now, so this is all I can offer.

But is there that much data to crunch in each WU?

Sorry to disappoint some of you, but I'm a man. grrl has nothing to do with my gender - past, present or future - it is simply based on my initials.

And as Smokeball figured out, I'm currently in Sunchon, South Korea. I'm working at a university teaching English.

Smokeball, can you speak Korean?

Once again, thanks for the greetings. I will be offline for two months after this week, but plan to leave the machine on so it can crunch away. It will all be worth it to beat Microsoft.

Go Team AnandTech!

Don't be embarrased with that WU time.. (well okay maybe just a little) :)

but once you have run it for a couple of days and feel comfortable with it, post on the forum and we'll chime in on how to optimize your setup for maximum throttle.

With that cely you can expect WU times of 15-20 hours if you download the command line client and tweak some settings. If you're curious, look here at Method 2:

Glad to have you on the team --RT

Annyong ha shimnikka, grrl. :)

I was stationed in Seoul in my younger days and still have wonderful memories of your beautiful country. :)

It sounds like you are leaving for a couple of months and I'm sorry to report that any Work Units that are two months old will be considered "stale" by Seti At Home. Unless you have someone that can log that computer on every two or three weeks and transmit the completed Work Units, I'm afraid most of the work done during your absence will go for naught. You might get by with someone doing it once about a month after you have left. ;)

Follow the link that RigorousT has provided you. You need to completely uninstall and delete the GUI installation and then install SetiDriver and the CLI Client. You will need to CACHE enough Work Units in SetiDriver to last until your return (or at least a month if you get someone to log on for you once a month). With SetiDriver and the CLI Client you should do a little over one Work Unit a day...so plan accordingly.

:D

Sukhoi (like the Russian plane?),

There isn't an airbase in Sunchon. The big US base is in Osan, close to Seoul. I'm 5 hours south of there. There used to be a base in Kwangju as well (an hour north) but that got closed down several years ago.


Edit: Lately we've been getting pairs of F-5s flying over the campus, but I don't know where they come from. They might be from Kwangju since the Koreans still a base there.

dasm, wrong again!


anyhow, welcome to the dc forum grrl!


as for whether those WUs are counted... i think they all are, its just seti considers them "lost" and re-issues them after 28 days, from my understanding. i could be wrong, since i know seti does send out the same unit a couple of times the same day, just to double check things.

My 366 Celery at work takes about 20hrs. to do a wu using cli and about 50hrs using gui. You should be able to drop that 76hrs time to maybe 25hrs or less using cli.

Yep, the plane. :)

I figured out what I was thinking of. In F4 there's an airbase at Sunch'on a ways north of P'Yongyang.

There was/is also a big dam in the NK Sunchon (or Suncheon or Sunch'on) that the US Air Force breached during the Korean War. I don't know if that raid had anything to do with an airbase as well.
