Personal background
Hi, G'day from Australia. You know. It's that large hot lump of earth down the bottom of the globe. I haven't reached the big 40 yet but will soon be. Working in the I.T. industry has had it's many rewards and being able to churn workunits for SETI@home has to be one of them. (Gee is the rest of my life that dull ?)

Actually I come from a Ham Radio background so I'm most intersted in the whole SETI@home process. Sending/receiving radio signals has been my hobby for many years and to extend this to outer space is a natural progression. So much so in fact that I am in the process of building my own transmitter to bounce signals off the moon. Who knows maybe my signals will continue on passed the moon and reach E.T. (Hope he knows Morse Code:)

Interestingly enough Morse code for E is . (dot)and for T is - (dash)
The shortest possible code - spooky.

So I look forward to communicating with .- very soon.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I had heard about SET@home on T.V. and a workmate reminded me about it recently, so we jumped on the net and chased it down. Now our office caters for 11 SETI@home users and we are all churning units at an enormous rate.

I'm sure we will find something eventually, it has to be there. The time will come and the outcome will prove all this was worthwhile. In fact it's amazing that we do as little as we do to acheive this goal. Must be frustrating for those in charge of the likes of SETI@home.

Lets get out there and start sending signals specifically for the job of "contact". We should have permanent station/s doing this and at the speed of light, radio waves will get there much faster than any space shuttle.

E.T. Lives, I just hope we get to hear from him in my lifetime.
