Einstein 500k


I hit 500,000 for Einstein today. Here is their certificate.

Project shares have been returned to normal now so the other projects will get some work done. Still no news from Orbit as to when they will start creating some more work.

Seti suspended

Seeing as Einstein is getting close to the 500,000 mark I have suspended Seti on all the number crunchers. This should allow Einstein to hit its target in a few days and then things can return to normal.

I got the 8 core AMD machine up and running for a short while before totally stuffing it up. Its even managed to download 34 Seti work units that it started. Hopefully I can fix it up before the work units hit their deadline. See my KFSN4 blog for details.

Seti donation challenge

The guys over at Seti are running a 5 day donation challenge, due to finish on the 22nd of August. Given recent problems they can certainly do with all the help they can get. If you'd care to participate in the project and/or make a donation please drop by.

Donations

Not only do I run computers for number crunching but I also make donations to the Seti@home project, which is run by the University of California. I was quite chuffed today to receive a tax receipt from the University of California. Unfortunately I don't think the Australian government will let me claim it as a tax deduction :-)

The front of the envelope had "If undelivered return to PO Box xxx, Malmo, Sweden" printed on it. I wonder if thats where the other ones went?

I passed the 2 million credits milestone today, despite Seti still being off the air. Here is my BOINCstats image...
