An overview of the searches for gravitational waves from radio pulsars with
LIGO and GEO is given. We give a brief description of the algorithm used in
these targeted searches and provide end-to-end validation of the technique
through hardware injections. We report on some aspects of the recent S3/S4 LIGO
and GEO search for signals from several pulsars. The gaussianity of narrow
frequency bands of S3/S4 LIGO data, where pulsar signals are expected, is
assessed with Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests. Preliminary results from the S3 run
with a network of four detectors are given for pulsar J1939+2134
