There's not much about me:
I'm 17 years old, living in Germany, and having a hard time due to a bandwidth of about 7KByte/s average.
I still go to school, my favourite subjects are IT, physics, maths, chemistry, english.
My hobbies are, of course, related to computers:
-repairing all sorts of broken stuff, mostly electronic
-programming (several languages, e.g. Borland Delphi, C , Java)
and so on.
Oh, almost forgot one: playing the guitar - not very good, but it's improving *G*
Every Tuesday, I work for a company teaching children how to work with the pc.
I also earn some money infrequently by designing websites. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I was and am an interested hobby physician, mostly the theoretic stuff.
Some while ago, I watched a tv documentation about astrophysics, our universe, black holes, how galaxies develop... that kind of stuff.
It was then when I first heard about the Drake's Formula, a formula with which one could get a VERY roughly estimate value (based on other VERY roughly estimated values) for the number of planets on which there might be intelligent life right now.
That got me really interested in the ET stuff (in the scientific sense, of course). I had enjoyed Star Wars, Star Trek and so on - and I still do.
It's amazing how close Roddenberry's visions came to what is theoretically possible - and reachable, according to scientists.
Warp fields, impulse engines, even beaming(O.K. this is still some way to go)...
I can't wait to learn what the "big brains" work out next!
But I am not fanatic or somehow else away from reality. I'm just curious!
I am convinced that "we are not alone" - it would be egoistic to think so.
As to the benefits: Maybe a united world and/or new medical techniques.
Possible dangers: war against each other - who starts is unimportant, since we would lose in any case.
Better not put up a beacon. One could as well invite the enemy to a banquet.
The peaceful species will let us evolve the way we will, and therefore a beacon would not be necessary. A more... agressive species would just walk over us, since we are a potential enemy.
I just want to help some research project.
My second computer runs a distributed cancer project...
And, of course, it would be cool to find something*G* |
