Personal background
When I was 6 years old (no I'm not telling you when that was!), I was given the "Ladybird Book of Space". I decided then that I wanted to be an astronaut. By the time man landed on the moon, I'd discovered that NASA wasn't hiring shorsighted British school kids. I was devastated. I decided then that I would become an astronomer. Unfortunately, that plan too fell through and I became a boring computer programmer. 25 years later, I'm still in IT but I'm now a Consultant (lend me your watch and I'll charge you £100 to tell you what the time is), having gone through several IT career changes - Systems analyst, DBA, Systems Manager, Project Manager. Most of my work is disaster recovery planning, web & multimedia development.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Does extraterrestrial life exist? Yes, but could we relate to them? Men have been trying to relate to women for thousands of years and are still failing, so what hope do we have of being able to relate to an alien race?
