I'm a database administrator on Microsoft SQL Server from Denmark. Married and farther of two.
My sparetime is also used for my hobby site: SQLAdmin.dk.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. If ET exists? I don't know, but on the other hand it might be the most interesting discovery - after the keyboard ;-)
2. We have already send the beacons. One of the first is Hitler speaking :-((
3. I have spare processing power, and find the project interesting. Both the technology with distributed processing and the possible result.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
