What is SETI

SETI is the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence and is primarily invovled with monitoring space for radio transmissions. They do this with the hope of discovering a transmission from another planet thus confirming the existence of an extraterrestrail civilization. However analyzing all that data is a daunting task. They solve this problem and crunch their data using computer power donated from users all over the world by letting interested users install client software (often a screen saver) that retrieves and processes blocks when the computer it not in use. This project is called SETI@home.

The result is lots of people and organizations participating in crunching SETI units and many competing for how many they can do. It's fun and includes the possibility of being a part of potentially ground breaking discoveries.

Team Sliced Apple

* SETI has recent ended this phase of the project and no longer using SETI@home to process data, instead they are working to analyze the data that was processed over the past 20 years. So the SlicedApple SETI team is on a, possibly permanent, sabbatical.

I have been a SETI follower for some time and have been running the various incarnations of SETI@home since its first release. In mid 2006 I setup a SETI team for the Sliced Apple. At present there are only a few members since I negleted to post a public link for joining the team until December 26th, 2006, but I would love anyone interested to join up. If you are already registered to crunch SETI untis and would like to throw your units into the SlicedApple pot then join Team SlicedApple.

If you are not a member of SET@home you must first download the neccessary client software (it's all free) and sign up with SETI@home before you can join a team. Visit SETI@home for more information on how to do that.

See Team SlicedApple's current statistics.

Of course, in addition to her various serving duties, Bertha (the PM8500) crunches SETI units full time.
