  I know, me too. The scientists claim they will post something before year's end, so check in from time to time. Meanwhile, keep finding those asteroids, especially any aimed at us 😃

  Yep, I've spoken with the scientists very recently and they are indeed gearing up to release news objects/photos soon!

  In the meantime, check out PenguinWatch for a similar project counting animals. I've been having fun with it during the downtime, and you get to see penguin chicks. 😃

  What browser? Have you tried downloading a different browser? Chrome, Firefox... ?

  I use I.E.....Anyway , just saw this in another post "PS. we just uploaded the Season 8 images onto our supercomputer. Pre-processing to begin after Thanksgiving"

  Does Pre-processing mean we see them or just you scientists getting all the fun =P

  P.S. since I'm in U.K. and don't celebrate Thanksgiving, how about letting me at it early lol =D

  I assume that pre-processing means that they're preparing the images to be released, so no fun for us yet.

  But if you need a project, Cap'n, we could sure use you over at the brand new Higgs Hunters! 😃

  Also, you should try downloading Chrome or Firefox and see if either of them work better for Penguin Watch!

  Thanks Cpt Pete! And glad you're enjoying some of the other projects while we try to get Season 8 up and running. Everything always takes so much longer than we think it will...

  Sorry about your hard drive, Cap'n! Hope to have you back with us soon.

  Thanks so much for the update, @aliburchard !

  It's time for me to give an update........
  Using a laptop now
  Another year has passed
  A few more grey hairs have appeared
  I figured out that there is NO paradox if you go back in time and kill your own grandfather
  The Big Bang never happened
  And I know life exists out there , stuck in their "Solar system " just as we are stuck in ours.

  But apart from that , it's a good start to 2015 lol

  If you had to pick a month that Serengeti MAY be ready , what would it be?

  I've checked with the science team again. No specific timeline estimation, but they have all of the metadata extracted and just need to do sanity checks and data ingestion.

  If you're feeling really, really animal-deprived, might I suggest Chicago Wildlife Watch? 😃

  Posted January 6, 2015 3:14 PM

• by Cpt._Pete

  "Sanity checks" I suppose we don't want any insane pictures getting loose on the web lol
  but then you got too ingest the data , may I suggest a good wine to go with it =P
  Thanks for suggestion , I tried that before but had no idea what most was, I think only one's I got right was Squirrels =D
  and I get the hint 😉,so i'll stop hassleing the science bods and i'll return in FEB if it's not running.

  See you soon =D

  Well, there are a LOT of squirrels in Chicago... ! 😃
