seti@home

a few weeks ago i wanted to fire up my seti@home client again...
turns out that boinc is the "recommended" version.

apparently you can link your "classic seti" account with the new boinc one.

after a number of 'wrong email' and 'wrong password' error pages, on the "account activation" page, came to the conclusion that you can't. so the 1300 WU [work units] from my "classic" account are lost.

which is probably a good thing anyway because i don't know wtf the new "credit" system actually translates to. yeah, there's a page explaining it. i'm not sure that giving 16.73 credits for wu is an improvement over 1 wu credit given for wu worth of work though. could be just me [snrk]
