Team Lamb Chop Passes
the 100,000 WU Mark!
A word of thanks
goes out to each and every Team Lamb Chop Member. We would not have been
able to pass this milestone without the efforts of all of you....From team
member #1 to #1275
every WU you complete helps our entire TEAM.
A look at some Win9x add-ons
....I take a look at two SETI client addons called SETI
Spy and SETIWatch.
Each are good, but I believe SETIWatch is a better value (no wait.....both
are FREE!). Take a look at each here.
Rat Bastard Answers his Critic
(me :-)
.....An answer
to my question on "what happened" to him
yesterday, Rat lets us know about a current problem over at the SETI@Home
offices.
Transfer credit to another account
This page is temporarily disabled.
A bug in the credit transfer program
has been found, and we need to fix this before putting this facility
back on line. We apologize for any inconvenience.
- The SETI@home team 9/28/99
That's what happened. All my systems at work are
running under another account name, and I transfer all the goodies once
or twice (or ten) times a day. However, I haven't been able to transfer
since early yesterday, so I'm falling off right now. Don't work, I've
still got work units building up in the background. I checked just a
moment ago, and I have 20 work units completed and ready for transfer,
but I can't do anything with them yet. Oh well...
Hot and Heavy Competition!
.....In the Top 20 there are two nice little races going on. Like Granny
on a Sunday drive in the hammer lane on the Interstate, Tron
is caught in a bunch of members trying to pass him on the right. ojohnson
and AutoLign have knocked
him down and put him behind the 8
ball, while moving up to #6
and #7 themselves. mjdewitt
is tailgating, flashing his highbeams but Tron wont move over just yet.
.....Rat Bastard, the self
appointed "antagonizer of Orlbamf and
CES", when told to "put up or shut
up!" cowered away and let OrlBamf
and C. Eric Smith through.
He slips down to the #14
spot while OrlBamf moves up to #12
and CES slides into the #13
slot.
.....Meanwhile, back at the ranch, adastra
moves ahead of Justin to the
#17 spot.
Possible Speed Tip?
.....While changing hard
drives a couple of days ago I cleaned up my files and cleaned out alot of
unnecessary registry keys (Win98) for software that i had uninstalled
previously. My WU times have dropped about 30-40min from
10.4 hr down to 9.8 hrs. If you are knowledgeable and confident enuff to
mess with the registry it may be worth the cleanup (for overall computer
performance benefits also!). Also as a SETI/Community Service
Announcement: run scandisk and defrag your hard drive regularly!
.....remember the less programs you have running in the background, the
more CPU time the SETI client has available to it. (Hint:
Running SETI and playing Q3test doesnt help out your WU times!)
Info from your Friends over at SETI@Home
SERVER CONNECTION PROBLEMS: Our
servers have become overloaded, and until we do a hardware upgrade
connection failures will be common. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Team Lamb Chop Talk
If you want to
discuss anything about the team or anything about SETI@Home in
general....or even specific hop on over to the "unofficial"
Team Lamb Chop thread
in the Ars Technica Fourm. Take a look at it here.
The thread is quite long, but it does have alot of info stuck here, there
and everywhere if you are patient enuff to read through the whole thread
:).
Team Lamb Chop/SETI
Newssssssssssssssssssssssss
.....The Club team stats were not
updated today (as of this posting). I got the data for today's update from
the individual team pages, and should sort of be accurate....kinda.....I
think.
.....Movin movin movin teams are movin and movin and groovin'.
Team User Friendly
passes FreeBSD
and moves up into the #10
spot.............
.....Takin' a chill. After
posting more work units than all but 11
Team Lamb Chop members last week and BitchSlapping the
hell out of Panders......SouthPark
Admin Crew takes a little break
today....not posting a work unit....
.....Things are heating up! There is a mad battle at the 12-14
spots. Rat Bastard, C. Eric Smith,
and OrlBamf are neck and neck. I
think that they are gathering up and planning to pop a cap in Caesar
and the #11
spot.
Tips, Tips Tips....I work
for tips
I've got the tips and tricks page
up and going...I am not really sure just how in depth I am want to go into
things there. Mostly because i really dont know anything about OS's other
than WIn98. If there is anything interesting you think that should go
there drop me an email.....you can get to the page here.
Team Lamb Chop Top 20 Moves
.....Rat Bastard Pulls back
ahead of C. Eric Smith (to
#12).....but they better watch out cuz OrlBamf
is waiting in the wings to pounce
.....AutoLign passes over Beryllium
for the #9 spot.
Top Club Team News
.....SETI.Germany leaps back
over Linux and takes the #7
spot.
.....Weird things are going on with Team Art
Bell. Yesterday they posted a whopping 5000+
work units for the day.....but today they lost
WUs from yesterday. I think i read somewhere that Art Bell has some
trickster who likes to join their team with a huge amount of work units
and then leaves the team sometime thereafter......why? who
knows....
Weekly Winners and Losers
.....I am adding a page
that will contain the weekly movers and shakers from Team
Lamb Chop. This page will contain a two graphs which #1
will show the team members who gained the most spots and lost the most
spots over the past week....and #2
will show the top members and the number of work units they processed for
the past week. You can find the graphs here.
