Just one more week and the updates will
continue...
As most of you know, I am still away
interstate and thus can't get to my computer to do any
updates. This includes the weekly update, personal profiles,
gaussians etc.
But the good news is I'll be back in about a
week (3rd of April at the latest) and at that stage I'll do
one HUGE update as many of you have sent in profiles,
gaussians subgroups and invitee details.
A bit thankyou to my beautiful girlfriend
Fiona for typing in this message and letting everybody know,
even though I'm over a thousand kilometers away. (And she's
terrified of computers and doesn't know what she's doing.)
Keep crunching hard,
Zain.

Update # 41Stats - 309 Members, 170583 Work Units
complete (up from 257 Members, 148735 WUs 7 days ago)
Ummm.... WOW! Wow, wow wow. Yep the biggest week our
group has ever had. We now have members from 35
countries around the world, over 170K work units, over 300
members AND we made the top 200 list of ALL SETI TEAMS!
We have NEVER had a week this big, absolutely amazing.
A big thankyou to all that joined after getting an
email from me. I managed to look at EVERY profile from
"Z" to "R" now (some of them are damn
funny!), it is a very slow process ("S" and
"R" were A LOT bigger than the other letters).
The feedback from the people all around the world is
great. Many of those not in groups join up after having
a look around our site, many of those in teams write back just
chatting about their part of the world and their lives.
I have made MANY friends around the world that all run and
love SETI.
On another note, I will be going interstate for 2 weeks as
of the 15th. So between the 15th and the 1st
of April I wont be able to do many updates (or keep reading
profiles and contacting prospective members). But never
fear come April we will be back in daily updates.
Make sure to check our extensive weekly stats
is the place to look to see how
you compare to all our other members in many fields. You
may not have the most work units, but how do you rank in work
unit time, biggest movers and shakers etc? (updated 13th
March) (Extensive

Most people know about the "UD Cure of
Cancer" project (personally I think it is the work of the
devil, but that is just me). Well there are actually A
LOT of projects out there. This web site lists pretty
much all of them, currently active, old projects and future
projects.
Of course I will keep crunching SETI forever,
but some people are curious so I thought I would let everyone
know. So have a look, even run a few if you like, but
don't forget good old SETI!

150,000 Work Units done!
Amazing! We are now only a few thousand work units
off the top 200 teams of ALL SETI@Home! Wont take long
at this rate. More to the point we have over 30
countries from around the world, and some very dedicated SETI
members. Everyone can take a big pat on the back.
Two more members from NEW countries!
"Earthling" joins from AUSTRIA and creates a new
"Subgroup"!
"Pctech" joins from SOUTH AFRICA and creates a new
"Subgroup"!
OUR HALL of FAME grows again!
A big congratulations to Son of yog soth oth for passing 1K work units
Son of... has been a great member with us for
a long time now, and on a personal note it was a race between
us for the 1k mark. Looks like Son won. Nice work
old chap! Keep crunching hard, and welcome to our HALL
of FAME!

SETI@Home Site Down Temporarily.
NOTE: Also affects joining our team!
Just to let people know that have been trying to
join our team, the OFFICIAL SETI@Home site is down (they are
doing something I can't remember what). What this means is
you cant get to the OFFICIAL daily stats, OR, you cant join our
team (or get your Password sent to you).
Even though we have our own forms here on our
site for joining our team, they are actually just copies of
the OFFICIAL forms. It just makes it easier that way,
and also means your password is kept secure between you and
SETI.
Anyone in this situation please just try to join
again tomorrow, as these outages are not normally long.
Cheers,
Zain.
PS a big hello to MORE people whose profile
starts with "S" and "R". Have fun
looking around our site and I hope you consider joining our team
*wink*

Update # 40Stats - 257 Members, 148735 Work Units
complete (up from 230 Members, 140184 WUs 9 days ago)
A HUGE week. We are now only 5000 work units off being one
of the top 200 teams of ALL SETI!
How did this happen?
Well this week I sat down and went through all the
profiles at the official SETI site that started with the
letters "Z" through to "T". Let me
tell you there are LOTS of them. I had a quick skim read
(cause some of them are VERY VERY funny) and for each person
that had an email address listed I copied their name and email
address into a drafted letter about our team. Some call
this kind of thing evil *shrug*. But the feedback from
nearly everyone (even those in teams) was amazingly positive,
I have met some great people all around the world, and it
gives a chance for people that don't know about teams, or are
bored out of their brains with teams to have a look at ours
and join up!
Make sure to check our extensive weekly stats

you compare to all our other members in many fields. You
may not have the most work units, but how do you rank in work
unit time, biggest movers and shakers etc? (updated 6th

We now have members from 31 COUNTRIES!
"Rand=0,52" joins from MEXICO and creates our newest
"Subgroup"
Our team hits 250 members!!!
and, Subgroup "USA" hits 100 members!
250 members! We ROCK! This week we
have had a flurry of members, after a little push from me
asking people to consider joining us. A BIG thankyou to
any of you who have! And if you are reading this and not
in our team JOIN! *smile*
Also today the USA was our first country to
have 100 members in our team! A tad ironic as Flinders
University is in Australia... (hmmm, I really should do some
more recruiting here!). In any case, as you all know I
consider our team for ANY SETI enthusiasts around the world,
and hope one day to have over 100 countries with members in
our team!
Nice work USA and our SETI members from
there! Stand and be proud.
OUR HALL of FAME Grows even bigger!
A big congratulations to Dale for passing 1K work units
And a big welcome and congrats to ¶ü†êrßôÿ, straight
into our HALL of FAME
Dale has been with us from nearly the
start! I think he was our 3rd member of our team, we
have 250+ now... amazing. Nice work Dale, a great
achievement.
¶ü†êrßôÿ joined us today with over
2700 Work Units already done! What a great name
*smile*. He has an official SETI personal profile (as do
many of our members) that you can look at by clicking on this
link Seti
Profile for ¶ü†êrßôÿ. Welcome and keep
crunching hard!
