One more member closer to our 500!  Just 5 to go...
AND WHAT A GREAT MEMBER!

The Paranoid Android joins us with 7096 WUs complete! Our 40th member from United Kingdom.
(United Kingdom ranked #3 for Number of Members, ranked #5 for Work Units by Country)

Welcome welcome!  Enjoy our site, our stats and our friendly members.  Speaking of friendly members I strongly recommend dropping by our FORUM and saying hello!  Many many of our members from all around the world can be found there posting stuff from SETI technical questions and answers to random humour!

The Paranoid Android... WOW... 7000+ work units... I only dream of such work unit totals!  It is great to see we still have the ability to pull members no matter if they have 1 work unit or nearing 10000!

The member that left today "Adam" was really just a name change to "Adam (SATownChevy)".


Funnily enough The Paranoid Android ROCKETS into our Hall of Fame!

The Hall of Fame is our special group of members that have 1000 Work units or more.  A great achievement, and one that SETI enthusiasts dream of reaching one day!  We now have 74 members in our Hall of Fame!  Have a look at each of them and their web pages here (Hall of FAME)

The Paranoid Android also has an Official SETI@home Personal Profile!  Check it out:

 


I promised Gaussians... you GOT Gaussians!

These are all the Gaussians sent in over the last week by our members.  Many Personal Bests... but also some REAL WINNERS making our Top 20 lists!  Very impressive.

Gaussians remain a HOT FAVOURITE of many members - These just in
Are these messages from outer space?

A Gaussians just a pretty pattern in the radio wave signal that "could" be an alien message!  If you run the Screensaver or GUI version of SETI you see them flash up in the top left hand corner of the screen.  GREAT Gaussians are automatically sent back to SETI for further analysis, but if you run a little program called Seti SPY you can keep a copy and even send them in to us to make our "Best Gaussian Tables"!  

Every member that sends in ANY Gaussian will automatically get on the "Individual Member Gaussian - Personal Best" table.  Nearly 40 members have sent in a Gaussian from our tam, and the list is growing every week!  Join the crazy to look at YOUR signals that you have found!  To learn more about Gaussians and how to save then and send them to us for our ranking tables click here - "What are Gaussians?" and "Setting up SETI Spy"

4th August 2002


Getting close now... just 6 members short of 500!

It will be one of our HUGE milestones!  I have personally vowed to crunch a few workunits FOR the person that is our 500th member, as a prize if you like for being such an important member.  I know a few other members that post at our FORUM are going to do the same!  It would be worth a NICE amount of work units!  If your thinking of joining NOW is the time to do it!

I will do a BIG GAUSSIAN update tomorrow when I get home in the evening... stay tuned for that as some HOT HOT ones have come in the last week!


More members let us know how they heard of SETI SYNERGY!
** John Hetherington heard of us from Zain Upton **
** Alex heard of us from Zain Upton **
Zain Upton is currently our # 1 BEST member bringer with 89 members.

Simply fill out the "I heard of SETI Synergy from..." form with your SETI member name and the name of the person in the team you heard about our team from!  Then your name, and their name will appear in news AND, the person that you heard from moves up our "Best member bringer" rankings!

More members, more crunching, closer to the #1 team in SETI!  The "I heard of SETI Synergy from..." form can be filled out at ANY time, so if you haven't filled it out yet get to it!

If you want to view ANY of the 185+ profiles entered by our members go to "View your Team Profile".
If you want to submit or edit a profile you need to go here "Submit/Edit your Team Profile".

Official News from SETI@Home site.

— August 2, 2002 —
We are currently working on several nested problems that have been affecting web/data server access over the past couple of days. Please stay tuned...

— August 1, 2002 —
The Planetary Society wrote a new article, Solving Problems at Arecibo, about our current receiver situation.


A big HELLO to anyone with a profile I read today!

I had a little spare time today, so had a read through some of the SETI@home profiles again and let the owners of the profiles that are NOT in SETI teams (and some of them are GREAT profiles) about SETI Synergy.

For those people... Enjoy having a look around our site, feel free to post on our forum and meet some of our members, or to reply to the email with any questions you may have.  Many many people running SETI eventually find us (for whatever reason), see the things we have here to keep SETI exciting (even for the old school crunchers from 1999), and end up joining!  I hope you will consider us too.

Congratulations to 
René S@ndi Andersen
 for crunching past 10K Work Units!
...and Congratulations to TriStar105 - Our latest Hall of Fame Member.

An amazing effort by René who is still FLYING up the rankings.  10K work units is just mind-blowing for most of us, and it is one of the GREAT achievements for any SETI member.  A BIG round of applause from myself and ALL at SETI Synergy!  Not only that but René had the 369th SETI profile out of ALL set users (no over 31000 at the official SETI site)... well worth a look below.

The hall of fame is our special group of members that have 1000 Work units or more.  A great achievement, and one that SETI enthusiasts dream of reaching one day!  We now have 72 members in our Hall of Fame!  Have a look at each of them and their web pages here (Hall of FAME)

René and TriStar105 also have Official SETI@home Personal Profiles!  Check 'em out:

Memberships have slowed down a bit right now, which happens every now and then.  Been a very busy few weeks for me, as I know it has been for many of our team members.  Never the less, we are crunching along nicely, slowly approaching the top 100 teams in ALL SETI!

28th July 2002


1:00am 28th July... (is there a pattern?)

Late night again... 

Time to get a few more updates done, half way through this weekend.  I have been occupied with the forums lately, making changes.  Unfortunately I seemed to have found a bug in the forum that has caused our POLLS there to crash.  Not a HUGE problem, but the polls are fun.  I am working away to try and fix it, but may take a few days as the access I need has to be approved.


MORE Member creatable subgroups (or "Virtual Teams") Created!

One of our MOST hit recent additions.  David B Briggs asked me to create a GREAT new member subgroup, and I have obliged.

  • The Over the Hill Gang!

Well worth a look!  Go here "Member Created Subgroups".  You can even start a subgroup of your own... details of how are at the section.
