| Personal background |
|---|
At the age of six I got my first computer. A Commodore VIC 20 with a green monochrome screen and a fabulous expansion box. As the games were not very exiting I begun to write programs.
I am now 27 years old and besides from the computers abilities, not much have changed. I am still writing programs. I am still learning by doing. I am still a nerd. :o)
One thing is different though; I am the Chief Development Officer of Instadia A/S (www.instadia.net). Our web-site statistics and analysis system is state of the art! That, more than the previous, I am very proud of!

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

A1: It must do; odds are simply overwhelming.
A2: If we are looking we might as well shout. Any signal that differs from that which nature on its own can transmit would do. We can not even guess what rulesets an extra terrestrial lifeform conforms to. Again the odds are overwhelming; chances are that no matter how simple our encoding is; ET lifeforms will have little chance of decoding it, so just make sure they know a sentient lifeform is transmitting.
A3: I found it deeply interresting as a project, from a technical point of view. Just consider the fact that for free (almost) SETI@home has a supercomputer twice as powerful as ASCI White, just delivered to NSA by IBM!
I hope this project will spin off into other areas and that someone would take the chance and try to generate AI where each neuron (or class of neurons) are represented by a computer on the net. This way it would be possible to produce a synthetic brain; equal to our own! |
