I understood perfectly, but what happens if they counteroffer, and I can't match it, then I get done for perverting the course of justice, and i ain't no pervert!

I just downloaded my 199th {credited} unit!
It would have been my 329th, except my ex took our combined uits when he moved out.
Oh well, party time in a couple of days when this unit is done!

Don't you keep track?
I write down every unit.
{that's the first time I've ever posted thatsmiley. I wonder what it looks like?}

AGB, if you open up the pretty graphical display, the text in the "User Info" section shows the total units processed for your account. It's updated from the central server, so that even if you're doing SETI over multiple machines you don't need to keep track on paper.
How's life, btw? We haven't chatted since "Goo Overflow"...

How's life?
Don't ask
Or you could read my journal
What I meant by recording the units, I meant I write down the details of each unit I download.
e.g. the last one I sent off was:
7hr. 5' 13" RA + 13 degrees 57' 36" DEC.
Saturday 02 December, 2000. 06:07:17
1.420927734 Ghz.
It took me almost 4 days, 64 hours 48 mins.
I do this *just* in case I am the one who finds the signal.

Ah, I see... indeed, but none the worse for that!
I may take a stroll past your journal later, but at the moment all my spare Guide time is taken up with trying to absorb the backlog of the discussion on Arpeggio of LeKZ' expulsion from the Guide. There are a lot of non-trivial issues being raised, and I want to try to catch up before the end of the thread accellerates away from me.

Peet, good luck with that!
Oh and a question for you, I wanted to talk to you about 'overclocking' and since I know you have done this before, I was looking for some info on the subject, at your leisure, naturally

Joolz, I'm a bit busy today, so I threw together a few links to keep you busy in the interim:

My 200th {credited} unit is almost done.
Yesterday I downloaded setispy, but it seems to be stuck on "idle" can you guys give me any hints?

Galaxy Babe - eclectic editor Posted Aug 5, 2001
Now crunching my 200th {credited} unit.
It's really my 320th unit.
Oh well, lesson learned.
Anyone else got this "setispy" then?

200. good marker GB
Ignore the rest, it's not worth the stress and anxiety
As for SetiSpy, yes I did use it for a while, when I was crunching individual units at work. Erm can't remember much about it now tho.
Sorry. I only ever used it to keep a quick eye on things. Don't you have to point it to the client or something? can't remember.

When I downloaded it, there was a new icon in my tray.
It doesn't appear to be there now
When I tried to run it, all I could get was "setispy - idle" and I don't know how to get off that
I don't know what you mean by 'point it to the client' sorry honey.
Can you explain?
