I am 25...an avid Star Trek Fan, and a great believer in Space exploration.
Now for the mundane facts; I have been a lawywer for the past 2 years and though it is fun I am ready for a change. If I had enough money I would start my own space agency whose sole directive is the exploration of outer space, without regard to politics or ideologies. I recently built this new computer specifically so I could run Seti@home on a more powerful cpu. Thats about it. |

| I have been running seti@home since around 1999(at least that is when I first signed up) but after a few years of inactivity I really wanted to start crunching some numbers. Alas, I had forgotten the email address I used and the password so I could never check my stats; just crunch the numbers. Around 2003 I signed up for a new account and started the process in earnest. Since that time I finished 2014 data units with around 8000 hours of CPU time. On March 26, 2005 I installed and began using Seti@home Boinc. I think this is one of the greatest projects ever undertaken my mankind, and if a discover occurs the payoff (in regard to our used CPU time) will be beyond belief. I believe in this project so much that I recently built a new cpu just to work on SETI. It is an AMD64 6500+ on an ASUS A8V Deluxe motherboard with 3.0GB of PC3200 DDRam. On classic SETI the new cpu doubled the speed with which the data units were finished, but I do not yet know how well it will work with Boinc. Regardless I am glad that I am able to contribute to the Seti Project. I have not yet made up my mind about the Boinc user interface yet, but I am sure that as time goes on I will become more accustomed. One reccomendation might be to post a "user guide" for those just starting to use Boinc. |
