Profile: Jaap 'Phone home' Kranenburg


Personal background
Hi there,

Nothing much out of the ordinary to tell here: I am just a poor webmaster and a long way from home (tralala).

Hope to find enough data to be able to return ET to home - my phone bill is getting huge with all those inter-galaxy phone calls ... ;-)

Anyways, keep up the good work, grtz, Jaap.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Yes, I think extraterrestrial life exists, but it still can take a while before we locate and contact it. As for the possible dangers: see the various SF series and you'll know ... :-((

2. I don't think we need a beacon because we 'transmit' enough signals as-is.

3. I run SETI@home because of my phone bills (ET leave that phone alone!) ;-)

But seriously, I think it is a cool project for 2 reasons:

- the use of so much client computers combined

- I am really curious 'how it is out there', and who

Furthermore I think the enthusiasm the project radiates is great!
