A few little bugs were fixed around the web
page. Some of the buttons weren't right, thanks to Mel
Jenkins for finding all of them, telling me exactly where, and
reminding me how anal I am about things like that *grin*
(which I am). The
"Links" button is now a "Links/Downloads"
button (thanks Drakus for the suggestion).

Official SETI network warning.
From the official site:
"Due to campus maintenance our network connectivity will
be intermittent between 6:00am and 4:00pm PDT on Sunday,
June 24. "
What this means for you is that you may
experience troubles uploading/downloading work units, and
reaching official statistics (either individual or
group). It does not affect this site at all (except the
links that work off Berkley like the stats.)

Another Guassian GIF returned!
Bgenzoli's first Guassian sent
in! It is now added to our "Best Individual
Gaussian" section, as everyone that sends in a Gaussian
gets an entry in there! To learn how to save these
Guassians click on the "Member Gaussians" button.

Were Back Online!
I am sure you are wondering what
happened? Our webhost, eccentrix.com,
went down 5 days ago. I tried to contact them with
status of what was going on and there was no reply (it turns
out there was a major flood in the town the server was, and
everything had to be shutdown!). I
was assuming the worst so I started to look around for a new
web host. A few days of research and I had it down to 5
hosts. Finally a decision was made...
A big thankyou to everyone at www.vr9.com.
It seems like a great host, with great member services and
features. It is perfect for our web site considering our
site and our need to expand in the future.
So our new site name is seti.vr9.com.
Since the other site mysteriously came online again this morning
I will be running both concurrently. I will make a
decision as to which to run with in the next week or so... but
will likely keep the other one (in an inactive and outdated
form) as a backup. If you have any feelings one way or
another just let me know with a note on the forum board.
It is good to be back!
Time to start rolling out the stats, updating
the page again, and bringing in new members! Lets hit 100K
work units as a team! If you know of anyone that wanted to
join in the past few days but couldn't... let them know we are
back online and striving ahead.
Cheers,
Zain - Team founder.

Another Amazing team Milestone!
Welcome our 100th Member - Blasterbom
In just over 13 weeks our team has gone from a
few friends, to over 100 members! Our lucky 100th member
is Blasterbom, another Aardwolf player that has seen some of the
notes I have posted on the message boards there.
I asked Blasterbom to say a few words about
himself to post here... and this is what he said:
-
"Thanks for the warm welcome.Well I live in
America. I got started on SETI a couple of years back when it
had first come out, it was on some show or magazine or something. The way I found your team was through
Aardwolf, my s/n is Galoth. I'd like to say to everyone, get those computers working, we have some
aliens to find!"
Welcome Blasterbom, and all recent new members!

Some technical
difficulties at the OFFICIAL SETI Site
June 5, 2001
"This morning we replaced the old web server machine with a much better one. All was well until we
realized the new machine couldn't talk to the user and science databases. We are still working on
the problem, and the solution may involve having to install new versions of database software to
resolve conflicts with the latest version of Solaris. In the meantime, we installed a second web server
to handle most of the basic CGI calls and are making links to this auxiliary web server. This is a very
temporary solution. Team/stats pages may not get updated with regularity during this time."
This does NOT affect the way SETI is currently
running with work units. It only affects team reporting
and statistics. One thing it does mean is that I can
not tell if new members have joined. So if you are a
new member just wait a few days until this goes away and then
I will officially welcome you!

An Amazing team Milestone!
50,000 Work Units completed!
Yep we hit 50K about 1pm Australian Adelaide time. A
big thankyou to ALL members, where ever you are. We
have members in over 12 countries around the world, going to
many universities and schools, working in jobs in wonderful
places. It is great to see the support for SETI, and for
our team. I hope you all enjoy the things we have here
at the site, and if you have any suggestions please just let
me know. (To see where our members come from Click
here)
Our memberships are still climbing, lately with MANY people
from Aardwolf MUD. Don't forget you can invite ANYONE
you like into our team, friends family... even total
strangers! We hope to keep SETI fun, providing lots of
cool little things that most teams don't offer (lets face it
99% of teams don't even have a web page!). Spread the
word, and keep those members coming in. Lets try and
make the top 200 team in the world! (To see the Top 200
teams Overall Click
