Personal background
By day am a techy - currently infrastructure / network engineer in london, also web and graphic design, new media etc.

Very interesting, but mostly to help fund my other passions;
Travelling and exploring new places, learning about the new and ancient cultures, Mythology and folklore, science and technology (AI, space travel etc), history and archeology.. the occult, Martial Arts (karate, Muay Thai Boxing and Wing Chun Kung Fu) Eastern Philisophy, Psychology, Languages and linguistics, (can speak a few european languages currently though wanting to learn latin, hebrew and arameic) er.. love outdoor sports, mountaineering, scuba diving, kayaking, etc. Fascinated by the unknown.
If you are still reading this you are probably far more bored than I was when I wrote this. If not look at my site (www.slynkycat.net)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
It would be really naieve to think that in a universe as large and unexplored as ours there is nothing else out there (not to mention highly vain, or depressing, to think we are the only sentient life forms out there)

I really wish we would stop wasting money on war and move funding into bettering ourselves and exploration. There are still so many unanswered questions, to answer even one is money far better spent.

A beacon is a fabulous idea, which should have been done a long time ago.

My concern is that any advanced civilisation (they will find us before we find them)coming across our race would only see us as backward, or worse, too destructive and cruel for them to bother with.

If beings from another planet arrived here what would we do - would we welcome them with open arms or (more likely) would we shoot them down and / or put them in a lab?
