| Personal background |
An Englishman Abroad, a Strange Stranger In A Strange Land, and they don't come a lot stranger than Los Angeles, so I feel right at home. 25 year veteran of the Royal Air Force, still having fun deciding what to wear for work every morning!
I'm a freelance Business Systems Architect/Project Manager/DBA based in the San Fernando Valley, an inhabitant of the environs of LA these past 4 years with, for the first time in my peripatetic life, absolutely no intention of moving on.
My interests include creative writing, cooking, *real* American cars - my current passion is a 1975 Lincoln Mark IV, auto mechanics, generally tinkering with/modifying machinery, travel, amateur dramatics and I am a particular fan of Terry Pratchett and the late Douglas Adams. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
| As to whether extraterrestrial life exists, I don't know, but I know that I want it to exist. I can't bring myself to accept that Earth is or has been the only inhabited place in the entire universe. I'm not convinced that contact will ever be made, let alone in my own lifetime, given the enormity of the physical barriers that we have yet to overcome. Perhaps the time will come when our understanding of the universe will transform our perspective and diminish those barriers. In the meantime, I am thrilled to be a minor component in such a truly global enterprise, and to contribute my own resources towards this imaginative venture that has produced a computing engine of such awesome magnitude by sweeping up unused cpu cycles across the world. |
