| Personal background |
|---|
I am a student at a technical college (2-years, no usable degree...woo-hoo) and I'm majoring in CIS.
I plan on applying for University of Delaware after getting fed up with DelTech.
Though I am currently taking CIS classes, I want to be a linguist. My main interests are Japanese, German, Ukrainian, and Chinese. I doubt I'll ever succeed with Chinese, so the first three will have to do.
I don't work, I live with my parents, and I can't drive. In short, I am a loser. My cohorts generally have me believe otherwise, though.
In my free time...well, my free time is generally wasted either by pointlessly sitting in front a monitor of some sort, or by some other equally useless activity, such as riding a bus, exercising, or pining for some overpriced piece of hardware/pre-fab system.
I like videogames, particularly RPGs, dancing simulations (DDR, PIU), and survival horror. Fooling around with musical instruments and music composition software is quite fun, too. Poking around inside my computer is pretty interesting because I always find end up wanting to learn more about hardware that way. I also like Nutella. Contrary to popular belief, Nutella is the best stuff on Earth, not Snapple.
In seventh grade, my tech. ed. teacher told us about SETI@home. At the time, I had an aged Packard Bell and it was slow, so I only downloaded it for a short while and completed no WUs. Now I have my own computer and I've also placed SETI@home on the family computer as well without their knowledge.
Though I remember having heard of SETI@home in seventh grade, that would've been six years ago. I don't know if S@h has been around that long... o_O; |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I think extraterrestrial life most definitely exists, but more likely than not the vast majority of such life forms are not of the intelligent variety.
Personally, I believe that transmitting a beacon for other civilizations to find would be somewhat pointless. There are many other things that could be done with the resources such a project would take.
One of the reasons I run SETI@home, admittedly, is because of the small level of competition involved. My Community College has a team and they're currently 13th over all other Junior Colleges. I like the idea that I'm slightly boosting their WU total. ^_^
