| Living in Budapest, Hungary and doing some IT security consultancy. Fan of good books, some sports and loving my girlfriend. Being a faithful supporter of SETI and the scientific cause of looking for extraterestial life in face of public scepticism I've been running SETI@home on as many computers as I can lay my dirty hands on :-D Yes, and this defenitely includes computers I'm not authorised to even think about. But it's fun of playing tricks with annoying sysadmins and the like. Too earthbound people, they are...too much flessshhh... |

I run the prog because I firmly believe in the existence of extraterrestial life. Otherwise we would be an aberration in the universe and these things usually don't last too much. Other example: never been in sout-America, but I firmly belive in its existence too. However my obsession started very early with SF novels and stories - I found them much more interesting and EXCITING than the usualy boring literary stuff.
The other interesting aspect is the project creating a huge, not-yet self-aware community of people cooperating for something that won't benefit them in any way. I think this shows the better side if humanity, of our long forgotten ideals of working together for a great common goal, for something that is worthy in itself BECAUSE it would be so nice to know. I imagine S@H awarded to a gov't agency and they still tinkering with who directs the project and where the funding would came from...:-D
Suggestions? could you provide a flasy PPT about how running S@H on company machines can actually INCREASE productivity of IT folks? Now THAT would be nice... |
