| Personal background |
|---|
I am a computer programmer.
I spent most of time at work plugging away at the keyboard being creative.
I spend the rest of my life with my Wife and Son and plugging for my own
website. I have several computers at home running
Seti@Home all the
time. I have a dual AMD processor, 2 GIG RAM, 200GB drive space and every
other toy a computer geek wants. It chunks through a packet in less than 4
hours. 6 per day, 42 per week, 2, 184 per year. While I was running
my own business I had it running on about 12 boxes. Unfortunately, I
cannot find my old login, so I have to start all over.
Long live computers, let's just
hope we don't end up with "The Matrix." It is true, that an imperfect
thing can create the perfect thing. As long as there is human
intervention, something will be wrong. I am programmer, believe me I know.
Even when you think you have it all figured out, BOOM, there is something that
blows up in your face.
Let me share a few quotes.
9The reasonable man adapts
9himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the
9world to himself. ~ George Bernard Shaw
9Imagination is more
9important than knowledge. ~ Albert Einstein

99I wish for you a life of
99wealth, health and happiness; a life in which you give to yourself the
99gift of patience, the virtue of reason, the value of knowledge, and the
99influence of faith in your own ability to dream about and achieve worthy
99rewards. ~ Unknown

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Is there intelligent
life out there? Most definitely!!! Why should we be so naive as to
think we are alone? The shear number of galaxies, stars, planetary systems
would make it almost mathematically impossible.
To me the question is
not is there intelligent life out there, but rather where is it? Within
our galaxy? In one of the many other galaxies, most definitely! Do
they believe there is life beyond there civilization? Do they want to
communicate with us? Are we advanced enough to truly understand?
Are we ready for the implications to religion, history, science?
Some think that
intelligent civilizations other than ours would be against many religious
beliefs. I don't think so. If there is a supreme being, why would
they
only create it here on Earth and not spread life everywhere?
Each answer leads to
two or more questions, as such with most philosophical questions.
