Personal background
Rotund and long-haired biologist, now lecturing in IT and losing a fighting battle of wills against a severe hardware upgrade habit. A proud cruncher for the 2cpu.com team, I am one of those chosen few who know only too well about The Power Of Two... why don't you go dual and find out for yourself? You'll never go single again...
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
People find out I crunch SETI and ask - "why?". I have to respond - "why not?". I have plenty of CPU cycles going spare, and I don't mind them going to a good cause. The reason why I stick with SETI@home instead of moving onto the less esoteric, more "worthy" projects (Folding@home, calculating Mersenne primes etc) is simply because I've invested too much time, effort and electricity in SETI to give it up now! Besides which, the teenage sci-fi fan within me still thinks that hunting for aliens is kind of cool... ;)
