#SETIAtHome

@SETIEric I think I was one of your first adopters of SETI@home #Setiathome. Glad to meet you.

Did anyone have this installed on their computer? My dad used to have this running on one of his older PCs, but they've discontinued it #SETI #SETIatHome

Telegram 原文

Nachdem #setiathome vor längerer Zeit abgeschaltet wurde, hatte ich meine übrige Rechenzeit über #worldcommunitygrid gespendet. Leider scheint das seit ein paar Wochen offline zu sein - und das, nachdem sie bereit für einen Umzug in ein anderes Rechenzentrum mehrere Wochen offline waren…

@Karld Agree, #SetiAtHome is an inspirational project.

We just boosted Erick Korpela Mastodon #introduction - Eric J. Korpela @SETIEric
- thoroughly recommend following.

I suppose with the #twitastrophe ongoing, I should get around pinning an #introduction.

I'm Eric Korpela, an astrophysicist by training. My expertise is in interstellar matter (#ISM), UV instrumentation, radio instrumentation, and #SETI. I used to direct a small volunteer computing project called SETI@home (#setiathome). I'm semi-retired, and theoretically working 17 hours a week. In practice that turns into almost as many hours as I was working before I retired.

My posts here will often be unrelated to my work. I find it hard to be chatty about things that have exhausted me during the day. My short term life goal is to learn all that is knowable.

My non-work interests are #vintagecomputing #fishing #politics #vintagegaming #cocktails #food #beer #wine #NCAAFootball and #photography.
