SETI@home … Anfang 2000 gab es auch einen Mac-68k-Client, und so stapfte mein braver Mac SE/30 damit ausgestattet los, um Anomalien zu finden. Die erste WU war schnell per Ethernetkarte heruntergeladen, und das rechnen startete.

Der 1989 als „Numbercruncher“ bekannt gewordene Würfelmac (68030 CPU, 68882 FPU, 16 MHz) gab alles, aber etwa 30 Minuten bevor die Work Unit „durch“ war, endete ihre Lebenszeit und wurde verworfen. Bitter für den kleinen Racker, aber nun gehörte er in der Wissenschaft offiziell zum alten Eisen.

Eine Zeit lang hat dann ein Performa 475 Work Units bearbeitet, in einem Bruchteil der Zeit, auf einem 68040 bei 25 MHz.

Der SE/30 durfte dann wieder Framemaker 3, ClarisWorks 3, Canvas 3.5.6 und MagiCMac ausführen.

🚀👽BREAKING: SETI@Home hits 'snooze' button! Instead of hunting aliens, they're now analyzing data... or pretending to. 🛌 Meanwhile, the message boards will stay live for all your intergalactic theories. 🌌 Keep dreaming, Earthlings!

I am cleaning up my vault and found an entry about #WorldCommunityGrid

In the past I've contributed three using the #boinc client.
I can remember that in this time, they had some successes for childhood cancer.

Looks like this project is still online.

Have you ever heard of that or done similar things?

I think #SetiAtHome worked similar.

This is my 13th #blaugust post. No wonder I'm behind schedule if I write a post for three days... 😀 This one about what my username means to me.
