| Personal background |
|---|
I'm originally from Warsaw, Poland, born and raised there until the age of 10. I'm 21 now, and I'm currently studying Computer Engineering (go figure, eh?) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. So you want to know my interests? Well, hrm... let's see... I'm vegetarian, I'm a big Linux freak, and I have a general love for computers and technology (no surprise there, I bet). I guess you can consider me a geek, but I like to think that there is a lot more to me than just that. You could consider me a big metal head, since I pretty much live for the music. I can't stand the trendy stuff and tend to follow the underground scene a lot, specifically power and melodic death metal. I also like to read, bike, and I'm a body modification enthusiast. If it looks like you can pierce it, I say go for it ;)
Oh, and I also like pretty flowers, animals, and nature in general :) |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I first heard of Seti@home on the Discovery channel when it was mentioned on a related program. This was over two years ago now. I first ran Seti on windows, but that proved pretty crappy, so I decided to run the Linux client which pretty much blew the windows one out of the water. I've been running Seti ever since, pretty much having it run whenever possible.
I run Seti@home because I strongly believe that we are not alone, and to think so is pretty arrogant. The Seti@home team has a wonderful project going and I believe that, if there currently are any signals heading for Earth, we will find them. It might be that the signals already passed us, or haven't reached Earth yet, but to just to sit back and not even try to find them would be pretty ignorant I think.
Because I believe that there is life out there, I'm pretty sure we'll come across it at some point in our existance. I don't know if it will be tomorrow, next year, or even within my lifetime, but if we don't try how are we to know, right? I can't say if there will be any benefits from the discovery of alien life, that's impossible to say... alien life might be a humanoid life form, or a chunk of sponge-like tissue with superior intelligence... who knows? They could be looking for a world to live on (Alien Nation, anyone?) or for a world to take over (Space, Above and Beyond?). However, our world is quickly becoming a large trash dump as it is, so I figure anything is better than killing ourselves off. I think that transmitting our own signals would be a good idea as well since, if we're looking for them, why should we assume that another race out there isn't doing the same? Maybe they have flying cars and would be willing to share? Think about it :)
In the true spirit of Star Trek, I sit back and wait for the Vulcans to arrive... |
