The SETI@Home screensaver was the heater for my room in the winter back then - win/win 👍🏼
Oh this brings back so many fun memories. I ran this on my home computer when I wasn't home and my work computer when I wasn't at work. Then I talked half a dozen more people into doing the same. Then I setup a work lab with 3 machines running day and night...for years. It was awesome to be a part of something so incredible for so many reasons.
i ran this on 2 computers for years on a university internet connection 20-25 years ago. it was so exciting to see my computers helping in the search. RIP Aricebo telescope. you were a legend.
When I was IT Director for a school district, I talked the principals into letting my team install the screen saver on their computers. One summer I had over 800 computers grinding for two months.
That period of time, being the time before the internet was commodified and socialized, was very exciting. I miss it.
I remember when SETI@Home started: "No one will be stupid enough to let someone else use their PC, it's dangerous, something could infiltrate, BS project, it's going to be a failure..." ... and within a few weeks the folks at UC Berkeley had to go to the managers and beg for more bandwidth because they had more demand than any other project at the time.
Excited to read so many interesting memories everyone had with this project. Too bad I ended up erasing everything from my PC long ago.
I feel honored to have participated in this back in the day! I always enjoyed checking the number of data blocks that had been processed on my computer for S.E.T.I.
I ran this at home and at work. While at work at an internet startup (late 90's) the CEO was doing a walkabout and saw my screen, he remarked, "wow, so this is how you monitor the servers!" so I could only really answer "um, yes. yes it is" 🤐
I ran this for years wanting to have the machine that finds the magic signal
