I'm an IT-tech from Finland. Computers are also one of my hobbies, and as I don't play much computer games lately, but I'd like for my computers to be of some use, hence BOINC.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@home because I like to contribute to science.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
