Welcome to my SETI@home webpage.

SETI@home
is a scientific experiment that harnesses the power of hundreds
of thousands of Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial
Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program
that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data obtained from Arecibo
radio telescope. There's a small but captivating possibility
that your computer will detect the faint murmur of a civilization
beyond Earth. To find out how SETI@home works, follow this link For a complete explanation of what SETI@home is you can visit the homepage of the SETI@home team. |

| SETI Queue | Seti Queue is a utility that adds queuing to the SETI@home application. It's a fun project that allows people to take part in the great search for stray radio signals from space by using spare computer power on machines across the globe. Unfortunately demand for the tiny bits of radio signals from the now millions of SETI@home applications running throughout the world occasionally seems to outpace the ability to get them. Seti Queue puts a buffer between the SETI@home application and the Seti Server. | ||
| Planetary Society | The Planetary Society, the largest space-interest group on Earth, and Paramount Pictures, creators of "Star Trek: Insurrection," have formed a partnership to support SETI@home. With your help, this alliance will enable us to pursue our shared goal — to seek out new life and new civilizations — a prime mission of the U.S.S. Enterprise since the beginning of the Star Trek phenomenon. | ||
| StarMap | StarMap for Windows is a program which only makes sense if you are using the SETI at Home client for Windows9x or Windows NT. So what does the program do? It visualizes the position of your current workunit and even previous workunits on a star map. | ||

| SETICache | SETICache, pronounced "SET-E-CASH", is a utility to Cache 10 Work Units (WU) for the SETI Command Line Client (CLC) version 2.0. The CLC is completely stock, no modifications to it have been done at all, this is strictly a utility to better use the CLC on your computer. SETICache enables you to keep processing even when SETI isn't reachable to send in a completed WU and grab a new WU, because you've got 9 more WU already cached and ready to be processed. SETI users who are connected via modem also have a big benefit because they can now process 10 WU's before they need to connect to the Internet to send and receive WU's. | ||
| SETI Monitor | SETI Monitor is a free Windows program. It allows you to monitor the activity of your SETI@home client and see what it finds using almost no CPU power. SETI Monitor shows the signals found by your SETI@home client and saves information about completed work units. The graph on the screenshot shows all the signals that were found and are going to be sent back to SETI@home. In the near future I intend to add to it more capabilities, like the ability to take screen shots of SETI@home client if it finds something interesting. I used SETI@home for days with SETI Monitor and without it and couldn't see any difference in performance | ||

| SETICapture | SETICapture was designed for those SETI@Home users who run the program as a screensaver. It will take a screenshot of the results for you while you are away from your computer if it detects a spike. See the readme file for more information. | ||
| SETIBuf | SETIBuf is a set of *.bat files and instructions, created by Terry Lee. They are offered on an as-is basis without charge, and may be freely redistributed as long as the integrity of the installation package is preserved. If you wish to distribute SETIBuf with modifications, please include the unaltered SETIBuf.zip file along with your modifications in your own package, and call it anything other than SETIBuf. | ||
| SETISpy | SETI Spy is a little program Roelof J. Engelbrecht wrote to "spy" on the progress and performance of the SETI@home client. I call it a "spy" because I tried to make it as unobtrusive as possible. SETI Spy has a small memory footprint (about 1.5 MB when minimized) and uses only a small fraction (< 0.1%) of your computer's processing power. | ||
| Windows tips |
These tips are for setting up the SETI@home client to be as efficient as possible, while still maintaining the normal usability of the PC. The client was not designed to drag every last ounce of processing power out of your machine. It was designed to utilize the spare CPU cycles that are normally wasted on the infinite loop called idle time. The default installation of the client is good at setting itself up to be unobtrusive. But the programmers were very conservative. A few small changes can effectively triple the client speed and still not hamper normal operation of your PC. |
