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.


Official News from SETI@Home site.

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.

EARLY morning 26th July...
NEW FORUMS Created... 

1:30 am and decided to get a few posts done.  Cant sleep, could be all the caffeine, could be all the noise, could just be the weather. *shrug*

Been playing around with Forums today.  Instead of having just 1, now we have 4!  And if we need more I can quite easily set them up.  The 4 forums we now have (all easily accessible from the menu) are:

Well worth a look I think!

Subgroups continue to grow... 

Very soon (over the next couple of days) there will be a host of NEW Member created subgroups.  Subgroups planned will include various groups for the number of CPUs you are crunching with (so you can compete against members with similar hardware) and a great new group that will be opened by David B Briggs... keep watching that space!

Go here "Member Created Subgroups".  You can even start a subgroup of your own!


More members let us know how they heard of SETI SYNERGY!
** Desperado heard of us from Dr. Jitter **
** Clair heard of us from Zain Upton **
** Annette Bowden heard of us from Mark Weinsheimer **
Dr. Jitter is currently our # 6 BEST member bringer with 4 members.

Member creatable subgroups (or "Virtual Teams") a INSTANT hit...

Busy busy busy day for me today... with a presentation at Uni that went quite well I think.

Member Created Subgroups are a BIG hit, with many members checking them out and getting into the fun.  If you go and have a look again right now you will notice TWO NEW subgroups that have been started up!  The "Corowa High School" subgroup and "The Synergistic Reporters"...

Well worth a look!  Go here "Member Created Subgroups".  You can even start a subgroup of your own!


Random news...

Some of you may have noticed 2 things today

  • SETI data servers were down for a short time.  They had the reason up on their official site, but the problem is all resolved.

  • SETI Synergy site was down for a short time as well! (drama)... here is what I heard about the situation:

At approximately 2pm(PST), 07/23 US time, 7am(AEST) 24/07 AU time, the air-conditioning system at the data center in the Mae-West building, San Jose, failed. Over a period of time, the rising temperature started to affect system stability and the servers were shut-down to maintain data integrity and prevent any hardware damage.

The air-conditioning system is maintained by the building management and their technicians were involved in restoring operations over a period of five hours.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused and the building management ensures us that they have rectified the problem and have implemented additional measures to reduce the risk of this event occurring in the
future.

Thank you for your continued support and please contact us if you have any further questions.

Kind Regards,

The Server101 Team

I do love paid hosts and the service you get with them.  Server101 is very nice in that way... if you are looking to create a web account at reasonable rates let me know and I will see what I can hook you up with at Server101.


Another member joins the SETI Synergy feeling...

Brett joins us with 32 WUs complete! Our 1st member from South Africa.


22nd July 2002


New Section at our site!!!
Member creatable subgroups (or "Virtual Teams")

Yep not much of an update today cause time is a bit lacking, but I have put in a VERY nice thing that many people have been waiting for.  In the Subgroups menu you will notice "Synergy - Member Created".  This hot little feature allows members that have a special group of people they crunch with to create their very own Subgroup and have all those members that belong listed, ranked etc just like you had your very own SETI team!

There are only 2 subgroups at the moment, one for members who have posted over 100 times at our Forum, and the other called "I.C.U. (Independant Computer Users)" which was created and set up for Arutha as MANY of our latest members are from there (thanks to Arutha for testing this new feature)

To learn more about it go here "Member Created Subgroups".  You can even start submitting for your very own subgroup!

More updates tomorrow when hopefully I have a bit more time.
Cheers,
Zain.

300,000 WORK UNITS DOWN!
Are we 100% sure weekend days are the same length as week days?

Amazing, Sunday afternoon already and I swear the weekend just started!  I think there is a global conspiracy where ALL clocks around the world tick faster on weekends! *grin*

The big news of the day is we SMASHED past 300,000 Work units!  A GREAT effort I am sure you will all agree.  Each member, each work unit helps in that total... so a BIG thankyou to you all.

A FREAKY but very interesting fact about today's update... we now have a 2nd Mark Weinsheimer in our team!  Could this be the same person, a clone or a ALIEN in disguise?

The updates will now be continued AS promised... and will be going for a while so check back often (will finish with a WHOLE string of new Gaussians)

The world keeps spinning...

Where are those aliens?  Our team has nearly hit 300,000 Work units! Maybe we will get there tonight.

Many many updates today and a BIG welcome to all the new members again.  Right now I am distracted watching Star Trek (the one with the Borg), so will be a like an hour or so before I really get stuck into this update... but it will be well worth the wait!  I have about 30 emails from members to update with!

Stay tuned over the next hour or so...

The partial download problem has been solved.


17th July 2002


NEW VERSION OF SETI SPY Available!

(NOTE: Leaving this news in current one as it is kind of important people upgrade if running SETI Spy!)

A MUST for all those people running SETI Spy (and I highly recommend it!).  For those that don't know it tracks so many stats, both personal, sky maps, returned results that SETI will have to look into further, CPU speed comparisons and MUCH MUCH more.  Also gives you nice little Gaussian GIFs that you can submit to our Gaussian tables!

New version is 3.1.1 and mainly fixes the User Stats section after SETI changed their cgi bin to fcgi.  A big thanks to Roelof for making the changes even though it is not really currently ACTIVELY being developed anymore.  Interestingly his site is nearly at 1 MILLION hits... and this is probably the most popular and used SETI addon around.

To download the latest version and here http://pages.tca.net/roelof/setispy

Michael L. Pfeifer joins us with 452 WUs complete! Our 190th member from United States.

On a sadder note 3 members left us this week.  Bic Wood (396 Wus) left for "University of Texas at Austin" (coincidence?), Adhisimon (101 Wus) left us for a team that represents their country "SETI@Indonesia" and Le Duc (85 WUs) also headed off into the big wide world of SETI teams.  I still hate seeing people leave, but you HAVE to find what does it for you in a SETI team!

Of course we do get a LOT more members than we lose, and looking at other teams we have one of the LOWEST team leaving stats!

WE HAVE A WINNER!  The winning entry in the BANNER Comp is...

An AMAZING competition, and the most stand out thing to me was the CLOSENESS of the votes.  It really does show that ALL the entries were of such a high standard, and that everyone in our team has slightly a different picture in their own mind of what we are about.  A GREAT competition, so great in fact that I already have the next competition in mind (but will wait a while before we get it rolling!)

A big congratulations to Ffenliv!  The winning banner, which will be displayed here on our site 50% the time (other 50% shard between other 16 banners), PLUS he gets 1 weeks worth of crunching from a P 4 1.8 GHz machine!!!  A very warm thankyou to Wyzzard for donating one of his machines for the prize.

Also a big thankyou and congratulations to all other banner entrants!  The are ALL great, SO many members wrote saying how hard it was to chose... it is a pity we can only have one winner.

I have posted the final results below, just cause so many people are interested.  Everyone got votes... and as you can see the top was so very close!

Rank Name Votes Banner
1 Ffenliv 35
2 Dr Jitter 33
3 Ben Macaulay 31

14th July 2002


Voting for our BANNER COMPETITION TOMORROW!

Last day!  Get those votes in now now now!  The response has been HUGE, but it is still very close, and anything could happen.  Results will be posted either LATE tomorrow, or early Tuesday.

To look at the entries and cast your vote go to our Forum here.  There you will see each banner has been assigned in a random order a VOTING NUMBER.  To vote, all you have to do is chose WHICH THREE you like best and email me at upto0018@flinders.edu.au the three corresponding numbers.  Voting closes Monday the 15th.  If you want to look at the banners on our site, they can be viewed here (but note the VOTING NUMBERS are only at the forum).

A great day today, with another milestone for our team.  AI_angelic joined, and they are our first member from JAPAN!  With members from 40 countries we would have to be one of the most multicultural teams in the whole of SETI!

Also you may have noticed some little statistics pop up there today (in the coloumn on the left above the date).  A nice handy little stats thing that you can quickly look at, and also how many work units til we hit the TOP 100!

Time to start voting for our WINNING BANNER!

Redchip got a banner in JUST in the nick of time, taking our tally of banners to !  It is time to start the voting for our winning banner, which will be displayed 50% of the time here at our site on our pages.  Note ALL other banners still are displayed, it is just the winner is displayed more!

Voting poses a bit of a dilemma... how to show everyone the banners so they can vote.  Well I have posted ALL the banners at our Forum at this LINK.  There you will see each banner has been assigned in a random order a VOTING NUMBER.  To vote, all you have to do is chose WHICH THREE you like best and email me at upto0018@flinders.edu.au the three corresponding numbers.

Voting will run until Next Monday, at which time we will have our winner of the great prize of 1 week of crunching on a WONDERFUL 1.8 GHz+ machine donated by Wyzzard!

If you want to look at the banners on our site, they can be viewed here (but note the VOTING NUMBERS are only at the forum).

Let the voting begin (again)!  This is the major news for the day, regular updates will follow tomorrow (including the Gaussians and forms that have been sent in yesterday)

Cheers,
Zain

Update # 51

Stats - 432 Members,  268200 Work Units complete (Up from 412 Members,  254444 WUs - 10 days ago)

Very very nice!  Another 20 members in the last 10 days... goes to show that members love what we have going on here.  Many of them had "M" profiles, and finally I have started reading through the "Other" Profiles... of which there seems to be BILLIONS!  May take me a while to read and send emails to the non membered "Other's"

Another great week for new members.  Again we had another member from a new country, taking our tally to 39 countries world wide!  Our FORUM board is getting a work out as well, with many members posting there each day, talking with people from all around the world, asking SETI and non SETI things.  Even a fun few polls (one of which was about blowing your nose!)

A big welcome to our 20 NEW MEMBERS!
