| Personal background |
|---|
Your typical run of the mill techie who loves beautiful women, motorcycles, sports and of course, computers.
Live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have a beautiful girlfriend whom I hope to marry soon.
First computer experience was flunking computer class in 1983. Was not quite interested in BASIC.
In 1984 learned that BASIC could also be used to program games. Learned BASIC, wrote my own games for the TRS-80 Model III, then moved on to MS-DOS. Ran a 10 node BBS around 1993-94 using 2 computers running PCBoard and Deskview to multitask. Wrote a lot of programs for PCBoard, and also taught myself to write in C, then heard of this thing called Linux. Been a slackware man since.
Recent job experience includes NT Admin @ UCLA, Sr. Security Engineer @ Pilot Networks, Linux/Network Admin @ Idealab Sillicon Valley and now Sr. Network Engineer @ Seagate Technologies.
And that's all I have to say about that. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I believe alien life does exist. And I believe that once we all learn to get along with eachother and not blow one another up, they might just think we're civilized enough to make contact.
The benefits of such contact will be knowledge, but the dangers of this will be people wanting to control that knowledge for personal gain.
Humans do not need to transmit anything. They hear us loud and clear already.
I run seti mainly because I have a lot of cycles which are mostly idle, but also, I would like to help in the search for those who hide from us. |
