| Personal background |

I believe firmly that a computer should not be left just working out where the next pixel should go. When a computer is waiting for input, or just anything (and that happens a lot) it should do something usefull. BOINC gives me the tool to just make that happen. Any non-profit organisation with a worthwhile goal (and that is for me to decide whether it's worthwhile) will get a part of my overcapacity, even if that capacity is somewhat limited compared to some others.
I'm Cor, I live in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). I'm a application architect and in my free hours I'm reading a lot, doing some gardening, programming Java programmes and I'am practicing Aikido. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| SETI@home may turn out to be the eyeopener to the universe. It may also turn out that the approach was wrong to start with. It is a rather large assumption that another intelligence will broadcast it's existence with something we can observe. But it is worthwhile in my opinion. I sure hope that the 'maggie' (is that spelled correctly?) project - the one that takes the same data as SETI@Home but interprets this differently - will take off some day. I've seen shortcuts to maggi.berkeley.edu, but they don't seem to work. |
