| Personal background |

I was born in 1978 and I'm currently working as a Senior Applications developer at Microsoft. I have been interested in the seti project for two main reasons.
1.) The universe is one place that can be called home once we have found existence of life else where.
2.) Networked processing may just make it happen! And thats my expertise!
3.) Whats Seti's view on using webservices?
I live in London England and I hope that one day a data unit I process will make the discovery we have all been waiting for!!
Best wishes to all!

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

The discovery of traces of single-celled organisms in a meteorite from Mars reminds us that life can inhabit some pretty strange places. On Earth, life has recently been discovered on the ocean floor, in mile-deep rock, and in temperatures above the boiling point of water.
Let's start with the most amazing news of all -- the signs of life on Mars 3.6 billion years ago.
Thirty years ago, nobody believed life could survive near the boiling point of water. Then a microbiologist began roaming the hot springs at Yellowstone National Park. Nice work if you can get it?
Come to think of it, there are plenty of other peculiar things going down in the ocean.
Here's a quick sampler. Meiofauna live between grains of sand, on the Greenland ice cap, and in the leaves of moss: phenomenally diverse -- and astonishing.
I hate to mention pure science, but the treasure-trove of newly found bugs n' stuff is giving us a new view of the biosphere. Want to know the rotten truth? Genetically speaking, people and fungi are close relatives.
These humanoids emerged from their bizarre habitat to discuss strange critters.
