Personal background
Right then, what to say...

As my ID might tell you, I'm Welsh and what it doesn't tell you is I'm 35 and a physics teacher.

Assuming that line hasn't put you into a coma I enjoy messing with PCs (which was good, as it was a job I had a few years back...) and generally causing trouble. I can occasionally trying to climb one of the local mountains, and almost as often falling off, them as well as being down the pub holding up the bar putting my hard earned cash into the local innkeepers retirement fund.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Seti is unique. How many other items have revolutionised the way in which we look at computers or technology in general in the way in which seti has?

It removed the image of supercomputing as something that could only be done in an expensive, dark lab by a bunch of mad scientists into something which is done in a cheap, dark bedroom by a bunch of mad geeks. OK, maybe it isn't that revolutionary then...

The project is powerful and so far the only real method into looking whether we (that is humans) are unique or just common as smelly socks. As for the future, it is guaranteed to have a future as long as some geezer (e.g. me) looks up and just thinks about anything more than if he will get wet on his journey back from the pub that night.
