| Personal background |

Me: I am 26 in March 2002.
My Work: I am a Law Enforcement Intelligence Analyst for a Government Department in Australia.
My Hobbies: I ride a Kawasaki Zephyr (ZR1100cc) motorcycle, SCUBA dive, and read lots of books. The great thing about these is that I can take my bike on a tour, dive at the end and spend spare time reading while I wait to go diving again... beautiful. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Aliens: Don't know about the alien thing, it would be cool if there were some around. "That's a lot of empty space up there just for us."
SETI@home: I started running SETI@home as the machines here a work run 24hrs a day but we don't work all that. Lot's of wasted computing power. I spoke to a mate of mine at a local Uni about a program to do this type of thing where the university could use peoples computers to do mathematical stuff that they would normally need to buy time on super-computers. He suggested SETI@home and I convinced my boss that it would be worth putting it on one of our machines to test.
Idea: SETI@home should consider approaching Government Departments to see if they would use the program as a default screensaver for all their machines. Most Departments have internal Email systems which could be utilised by the program to send the info packages or results to a central point. Then the info can be forwarded to the appropriate location. It may require a bit of code rewriting but the benfits could be extraordinary. Government computers generally run 24hrs, 7 days, all year round and like I said. That's a lot of wasted computing power. |
