| Personal background |
|---|
| Well, I am 19 years of age and am currently attending school at the University of Denver. I play a lot of video games, actually that's what I want to do with my life...well, not play videogames, but program video games. I can already hear the moaning, but trust me, for a limited number of people programming is actually quite fun. It's a challenge really, and I love it. I can't even describe the feeling I get when after long hours spent racking my brain on a program I run it and it works perfectly, it's the greatest feeling in the world for me. Of course I don't just sit around all day, I get out often to play Ultimate Frisbee, the greatest game ever invented, football, and of course I get up to the mountain to ski, yes ski, not snowboard, not that I dislike snowboarders, but most I've met seem to have a disadain for any type of decency...adolescent rebellion thing gone too far I think. Anyways, that's all I got for you all for now. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I do believe that extra terrestrial life exists, but I also think that we wont discover it anytime soon...unless someone wants to invent lightspeed or warp or hyperspace like stuff anytime soon. I mean the nearest star is four light years away (I think that's right) which means even traveling at the speed of light it'd take four years to get here. I think that anything out there is gonna be so far away that
A. We probably wouldn't get the signal till the Sun has swallowed Earth up.
B. If we did get it, their sun would've already swallowed them up.
or C. At that distance we'd have to be at some insane angle from them like, 10x3.76^-22. And the chances that a signal would travel to our exact angle, exactly when we were in the right place all while nothing...absolutely nothing got in the way or slightly altered the transmissions path, I mean, a move of like a few millimeters is gonna turn out to be like 2 light years off when it eventually reaches us.
I doubt there would be any dangers from recieving an alien transmission, but again, we'd be able to talk back and forth like twice before one of our races died so I can derive much benefit from it, although if they were nice they could send us the specs to make a faster than light ship.
Should humans send out signals, yes, I mean it's kinda hypocritical to sit here and wait for someone to send us a signal, and then not send out one ourselves. What should we send, pictures of dolphins, there the dominant life form on the planet after all, behind mice :). The answer's 42.
I run SETI @ Home because I dig the screensaver, I like the colorful spiked up readings at the bottom, and besides, miracles do happen.
Suggestions...Well, the screensaver is only cool because of the cool spikey thing I really think you guys should beef up the rest of it.
Oh yeah, I love the fact that when I check my CPU usage it's at 100%, absolutely love...what can I say, I'm a tech geek. Sorry, I have no picture of me |
