| Personal background |
|---|
| I'm a 27-year-old system administrator working out of CA, USA. I spend most of my off duty time at the gym, and staying active in outdoor activities. I like mountain biking, rock climbing, mountaineering, and paintballing… just to name some. I've been around computers since 1985... my first system was an Apple series with monochrome monitor, lol. But I'm still very fond of Activision games, i.e. Zork for those old timers out there. I’ve been in the computer field since 1994, working as a troubleshooting tech, moving to LAN/WAN tech, and higher. Got my resource management BS in 1999 and got hired as a senior system admin right before the big dot-com bust. Count myself lucky... since I still know friends looking for job in this field for the last 2 years. And here I am... spending most of my free time surfing website and checking emails... and of course, helping find E.T. whenever I have CPU time. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| Let see, I got hooked up with the SETI project when I was partying at Berkeley one night and someone started talking up a storm about it. Up to that point, I knew there was something in the works but I personally never looked into it. I knew about worldwide SETI projects, but didn’t know I could be helping. Do I believe? But of course… if we were the only life in this whole universe, well… kind of a waste of space if you ask me. So yeah… I think there’s life out there, I just hope they’re listening and/or sending like we are. As far as actually finding life, I hope we do find something but there’s always danger in everything we do. Whose to say that the life we find will actually like us? Or even worst, what if they’re looking for a place to settle down and expand their world... a-la 'War of the Worlds'. Or they could be those half-nake female types that wants to please everyone in one of those 'Star Trek' eps!!! Who knows, but I rather know that we are not alone in this cosmos. Since radio waves hasn’t changed all that much, anyone listening will probably pick up all of our mix (tv, radio, cell, etc) signal beaming all around the world… I just hope they don’t think we’re crazy when they download a broadcast of MIB, lol. I run SETI to give a little back to the science world, give my two cent… sort of. I figure it’s also cool if a signal I help decode would end up being the ‘One’. But if nothing else… I get a pretty cool screensaver. |
