> Is it still OK to use cc 4.13?

The 4.13 has a serious bug that causes a lot of Results to fail with download errors, so in the near future we will limit the work we give out to clients which don't have this bug (>=4.14). As the 4.14 and 4.15 had other problems (esp. losing CPDN work) I suggest you upgrade to 4.16. Make sure to exit the current core client before upgrading.

Thank you! Though we're still struggling a bit to fix things behind the scenes.

Cheers,

Me too.

LIGO and GEO are just getting ready to start the S4 run later this month, which will be a factor of a few more senstive than an previous runs. We estimate that with this new data we should be able to see perhaps five or six hundred parsecs, which increases the odds that there are at least a few pulsars within our search volume. Now we just have to hope that one of these pulsars is distorted enough and spinning quickly!

[PS: one comment on semantics. 'Gravity waves' is an old term that refers to waves on the surface of the ocean or similar. We are looking for 'Gravitational waves'.]
