Hi everyone. My name is Richard Dimambro. I was born in 1970, which makes me 33 years old.
I am married to Kate with two children. Jack, aged 5. And Phoebe, aged 2. And the three of them give a point to life.
I am the managing director of my own Bouncy Castle and Softplay manufacturing company. www.abacusplay.co.uk Which I started along with my wife in 2000. Not hugely profitable but it keeps me of the streets. And out of the pub.
When I do get free time I like (as often as I can) to go climbing, With a good friend Jon another Seti.uk and Team Lookers member.
I used to ride a motorcycle but after a rather hairy accident (in which I was very lucky to keep my leg) I decided that it was a pastime I could live without for a while. However I fully intend to get back in the saddle one day when the kids are a little older. I do miss it. Especialy when the sun is out.
Aims for the near future would include finding enough RELIABLE staff members, blessed with a modicome of common sense (not a quality found in abundance these days i'm sorry to say) like the one staff member I have already. Then maybe I can take a step back from the manufacturing side and promote the business a little more, and have some more time with my family and friends. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
On our own planet we are regularly being suprised by the extremes at which life can exist. So it seems to me to be impossible that life outside of earths atmosphere doesn't. Only man's arrogance could allow any other conclusion.
The real question I believe is whether "intelligent" life exists outside of earth. If you are of a gambling nature, then the odds are very good indeed. The sheer number of stars that are out there make it, in my opinion, unlikely that we are the only.
The only way we will find out is to keep looking, and maybe, one day, we will strike it lucky. Or unlucky. Who knows they may turn out to be even more immature and emotionally unstable than we are. And that is of course if they want to be found. Who is to say they haven't found us already and are avoiding us. Waiting for the human race to mature and stabilise before making contact.
Space has always interested me. Infact nature in general really. The how, why and where did it all come from. The immense similtainious powers of both creation and destruction with such spectacular results, that you just can't help but think "How insignificant are we?".
Ultimately I believe contact would be a good thing for mankind. An alarm call to the fact that we aren't the centre of the Universe.
Long live Seti & Seti@home. May we one day find what we seek. And with a bit of luck it will be friendly. Or at least benign. |
