Personal background
Anyone actually interested in reading all these? Just make sure you are doing this on your own time, otherwise you could get fired, and I'd hate that.

London, England. 27. IT Consultant. Computing, Cars, Movies, Eating out, Football - watching and playing (the proper 'feet' and 'ball' kind, not the armoured game of catch the egg the US plays). Politics.

Anything else.

When I was 4 I ate a spider. I suffer from mild arachnaphobia.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
ET? - probably
Anything Smart? Possible
Anything Smart near enough to us in time and space to make contact viable? er...very unlikely.

Still I would be thrilled if we found just a stupid amoeba somewhere out-there (perhaps a radiotelescope isn't gonna help with this one).

I think the arguement re transmitting a beacon is interesting, the 'Come and Eat Us' signal. Hell why not? I'm a big believer in evolution and besides it'll be more interesting way to kill off human life and this planet than poisoning it...besides, maybe they'll bring back Elvis.

Seti @ Home (well for me its, home, work, airplane, hotel room, seminar...you get the picture). Have plenty of spare capacity on laptop and a range of 'not doing very much at the moment' PC's at home. Recommended by a friend who is still shocked I eschrewed an academic career for a proper job and thought this an interesting way of 'staying involved' (although quite what this has to do with Siloxane Chemistry is beyond me).
