Even if Peter Jackson is not doing it? I have seen the SGA finale.............You will too next week Net, for I have sent those many DVDs today. Keep in mind that the final 2 episodes are demo versions so the video is a bit dodgy here and there plus some visual effects are missing. I will send you the final versions after I get them.

I like the pre-aired versions, it is interesting to see the CGI before it's finished.

That said both are worth the viewing.

Clint after our power out that SETI program on the PC kept asking for an Internet connection so maybe it was sucking stuff down in the back ground?

SETI programme? Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence?

Yes it's been going for years, it could have been the cause of the massive unexplained DL last week. I removed it so Late Tuesday I'll give the PC Internet access again and see how it goes.

Did you have My Own Worst Enemy yet, I can send them too you. But be warned there are only 9 eps and it's left on a cliff hanger with many unanswered questions.

What is the show about?

So you were part of the actual real SETI programme that has been around for decades searching for radio signals that might contain possible alien contact?

I've used it on and off for years but until last week not in a long time. I guess you have to ask is it a good idea to have you PC/Mac running at 100% 24/7? Although you can dictate how much CPU power it does use. I think it's a good idea and makes a cool screen saver but like I said I'm not sure if that's where the leak came from. Maybe it was that and the JAVA update or something else?

My Own Worst Enemy - TV.com
Quote:
Edward Albright is a super spy. Henry Spivey is living the normal American dream in the suburbs with his wife, two kids and dog. The two men have one thing in common - they share the same body because Edward took part in an experiment several years earlier to create a split personality...
Basically it's one guy with a chip in his head they use to switch him from family guy to super spy and neither one knows the other, until things go wrong.

IMO it was leading somewhere and the acting was good, just a pity it was cut short. maybe like so many other shows if they made the last 4 eps of the original 13 then it could be released on DVD one day or aired in full locally?

I have mine running for sometimes a week straight 24/7 but I doubt it reaches 100%, averages at 8%-15% when uploading/*coughing* say 20-30 things at once. When encoding as I am doing at this second it goes up to 70%-100% with the other stuff going on in the background of course.

What did you do with SETI?

That show does sound a lot like something I would enjoy.

Mezzi, I will encode the last half of Sarah Jane Adventures and the Doctor Who Xmas Special + a few other DW specials for you over the next few days.

You DL BONICE, install then choose the project you want to be a part of, it costs nothing to join you just need to register. Now I'm not 100% sure if it was the cause of the extra usage last week but the general idea is the software downloads a work module, your computer crunches the numbers then uploads the results before downloading a new module. You get a page that tracks how much you have done and you can do other things apart from SETI.

It's only 9 eps like I said but I can send you a copy, I'm burning off a bunch of stuff to free up HDD space.

I do remember reading that it does use many linked computers but that was years ago, didn't realize it still does. That could be a legitimate reason for that 900meg usage.

I doubt many girls will swoon over the new Doctor.

It's weird how the doctor gets younger, maybe the 12th one will be 15?

The SETI thing is only meant to go online when it needs to send and retrieve a module, and they are only 10Mb as far as I can work out. I think the PC was just freaking out 'cause it couldn't get a connection. You can set it to go online only at set times of the day.

29 DVDs with an average of 12, 40 minute episodes on each DVD is a lot of viewing TK...

29 DVDs that's some serious couch/computer time.

Indeed, it is some serious couch potato time, but this is the one (long delayed) for TK. It is several months (between 6-12 months delayed - hence the HUGE amount of 29 DVDs and 1 CD) delayed which I am very sorry for Netty... But I am sure it is all there! She even DEFINITELY has the Eli Stone episodes I misplaced and did not get to send to you Craig. :/

BTW, TK, Net, Netty are all abbreviations for The Kender. I have been sending videos to her since about 2000ish back in the old FarScape/Dark Angel-VHS days. !!!!!
