Work:
I take on contract work in the IT and Networking fields. Often this includes varied duties from web and db development to building and inplamenting new hardware.

Im somewhat of a lateral thinker and often get involved in projects that people say can not be done, then figure out a way to make them work.
Curently im involved with an international group of blacksmiths and metalworkers and assist them with their web development.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Do you think extraterrestrial life exists?
Well in one form or another it must, there are paintings and pictures all over the world that point to it existing. Now this could be just wishfull thinking but when you think about it is there only one species of fish in the sea?

Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find?
No, I think the ramifications of doing this have been displayed in more than one movie. What if the beam causes damage or harms another life form.

I run SETI to keep my processor warm at night when im not using my computer.
