| Personal background |
|---|
I am Ing. Melchior Hof.
I am a qualified Batchler Physicist and precision engineer. I work on the Technical University of Delft designing high tech parts for electron microscopes.
Also I am an expert in electronics, computers and in general my experience is to become an expert in all technical, handcrafts, or what ever I do. From building houses, cars, artworks, or becoming a dancing teacher.
My goal is to live with an open hart and to be constant in de flow of life.
To do what I did come for here. To be a real human that loves to live with himself and the people in the world around.
Me, my wife and kids are planning to emigrate very soon.
First we leave the house and start to live in our camper on a camping close by.
Then we leave and start traveling around the world to seek for a nice place to live!
When we are leaving I will publish here the website log we are planning to make.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
SETI@home member since 17 May 1999
Total credit 3,716.68
Recent average credit 51.50
SETI@home classic workunits 1,776
SETI@home classic CPU time 22,730 hours
I was one of the first people to run WU’s when the SETI project started. Had already heard from it before the official public release but i was sadly not able to become a part of the beta testing group.
In the beginning I changed my 200MHz for a 600MHz computer and it was quite fast. When only a few thousand people participated I was actually in the top 100 of computers in the world. But it didn’t last for long :-(
Also was the first person to write in the SETI@home newsgroup and was for some time quite a core participant in the discussions.
Used my earlier computers all the time till they did become so slow compared to the average computer time that when my computer still did do one WU in 22 days (or hours, if I remember well ;-) compared 2 hours for the newer CPU’s I quitted spoiling electricity on this. In this way I was more contributing to destroying the earth by draining energy before we could ever make contact with other planets. So i quit.
Now I have this 2 Xeon double core 3.2GHz pc. With in total 4 cores running. If I would not limit the BOINC manager till 3 climate models it would download twice this much. But than my computer is clogged to the top and not workable anymore for my own use.
I am quite happy to be able to participate in the climate changing project.
The more this is for The Netherlands, living below the sea, quite an interesting subject.
The new climatprediction.net has a little more vague goal to me than the straight forward climatchangeproject, but they claim to do the same.
Since a short time i did again join the Seti@Netherlands group. Funny to see that I did come in as second in rank on ‘Recent average credit’.
