| Personal background |
|---|
| My age does not count. Neither my sex. Neither the place where I live. I work as a sysadmin, with nearly all the machines in our net crunching SETI packets. :) This means x86 hardware ranging from P2/333 to P4/1.6G, ~50-60 hosts. A small and old Alphaserver also works on the project. :) I started some years ago, but I do not remember the exact time. Probably when the whole project started. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1) I do not know and I do not want to make up my mind about this issue. I do not care.
2) Information is only understandable if you know the context. If we sent anything about our culture, why would anyone out there understand it? BTW, do we really have any culture? Think about the pollution, globalisation, disappearing rain forests and all the junk we produce, the wars, the rage between countries, races, religions. Sometimes I feel ashamed for being human.
3) I started running it, because I liked the idea. I already knew about RC5-cracking at the time, but that project HAS to end some time, because the keyfield is limited. So it is dull. SETI@home is interesting, because nobody even knows if we find anything and when we will find it. So it is exciting. :) |
