| SETI@Home Project OS/2 Client Software Port (from Dirk Terrell) |
| This is just a short note to let everyone know that I am working with a team of programmers and the SETI@Home development team to port the SETI@Home client to OS/2. We have made substantial progress this weekend and we should have something ready for public use soon. SETI@Home is a distributed computing project similar to the encryption cracking efforts run by distributed.net. The SETI@Home concept is to distribute radio telescope data gathered by the SETI project (SETI = Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) to thousands of computers over the Internet so that the data can be analyzed for signals that might be of intelligent origin. The client software runs in the background when your computer is idle. -> URL: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| A short survey for OS/2 users (from Esther Schindler) |
| OS/2 Warp 4 included speech recognition -- but how many of us are using it? How well have we taken advantage of it? How important is the technology to the OS/2 community? To find out, I"ve designed a short survey about the topic; it should take about 5 minutes to fill out. I"ll report the results in the next issue of extended attributes, the magazine of the Phoenix OS/2 Society. Can you help out? -> URL: http://www.possi.org/speech.htm -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Hobbes News (from Andreas Linde) |
The following announcement has been made at hobbes.nmsu.edu:It" target="_new">http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/">hobbes.nmsu.edu:It looks like probably what"ll end up happening is I"ll release the database engine, CGI programs, etc. under the GPL and let whoever wants to run a successor to Hobbes do so. Hopefully the OS/2 community at large can figure something out. :) In the meantime, all the concerned archive users who have been asking: I have a job now. :) Thanks to everyone who gave me pointers. |
