Ah, sorry to say it, but I've given up on the whole SETI@home thing. It was amusing while it lasted, but quite honestly, I have better things to do with my extra cycles (e.g. defragging, rendering). Here are the final statistics on the group:

Huzzah, The ÜberGeek Network is born! What is it, you ask? It's a SETI@home group! For more information on SETI@home, visit http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu. In their own words, SETI@home is "one of the SETI projects that searches for extraterrestrial life. SETI@home allows anyone with a computer and an Internet connection to take part in the search." ... essentially, it's a program that runs on your computer and calculates a bunch of stuff based on some data it downloads from the servers. There's a bunch of stuff about radio signals and doppler effects, but I won't get into that. The main thing we're concerned with is showing off the processing power of our computers!

Here's the current status of the group:
Members: 2, Results received: 25, Total CPU time: 786 hr 46 min

Right now, the "members" are my 900 mhz Athlon system and my 400 mhz Pentium II system. Soon, I hope to get my two 450 mhz Celeron systems on the network (one of them has problems with it's graphics card). Of course, to do that, I need to clear out the room that is connected to my current computer room (which has enough space for maybe 3 systems all at once if I were to move the micro-fridge, TV/DVD player and easy-chair/footrest out). I may even hook up my 600 mhz Celeron notebook (it's a Compaq, but hey, they're cheap)... but I worry about putting it through too much stress.

If you want to join the group, feel free. Though I have no requirements, I'd like to hear about it!
