Profile: LetMeCalc

Personal background
Let me introduce myself shortly:
I'm from germany, born in the late seventies in the eastern part, started my school-career there, finished in the FRG, serving my time for one year, started and finished an apprenticeship as lab assistant for ecological purposes, graduated five years later in business informatics and trying to do as best as possible a job as softwareengineer.

Hmm, that's nearly all to say 'bout me. Argh, Uh, hobbies:
Programming? - no - joke.
It's a bit of reading, visting museums, visiting concerts of hard rocking bands (as AC/DC, Status Quo, Black Sabbath, Metallica, and so on, you know?), sitting around in coffee shops (not the dutch ones - this time is over), bars, pubs and inns to watch people and may talk to them.

but for now, that's all.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Why do I run S@H? Different reason:
a. When I heard about S@H the first time, on my university where two teams. One of them where crunching on protein folding and the other doing seti. I'd known the leader of the proteins and never liked him, so I decided to take a look on seti (yeah, that's somewhat strange, isn't it?)

b. Taking the site of seti, there was a funny image saying: "When your computer find out a signal is extraterrestrical, you may see this!" and it was this smiley-thing. I liked that and so I decided to crush seti-units and kept on it.

c. I always thought: He, my computer is just another human being, he doesn't want to get bored by all that programming and gaming stuff I give him, he could do something useful. :)

Views about seti?
I don't know, never thought about. May we'll find Zaphod Beeblebrox or ET or the Borgs sometime?

Suggestions?
Keep it as it is, may refine the algorithms, so everything is a bit faster and maybe increase the stability of the servers. :)
