Personal background
I m from Perth, Western Australia. I was born July 1965, and currently work as an IS Project Leader for a large global aluminium company. I enjoy keeping fit with my wife, and we both love sailing on the Swan River, as well as getting out on the ocean when we can.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I finally started participating in Seta@Home when a work colleague 'bugged' me about enough times. I started running Seti@Home Classic (Windows GUI) on my home PC and tried a number of methods of increasing my work unit completion rate, starting with SetiQueue which I couldn't get configured properly, and have now settled with SetiDriver/SetiSpy. After getting an upgrade laptop at work I decided to install it on that, and then increased the rate hugely. I am now investigating Seti@Home/BOINC, and now that it is in production and seemingly stable I am running that on my work laptop during the day, and leaving SetiClassic at home and on the work laptop after hours.
Ever since the early Star Wars movies I have been interested in virtually everything space. I do believe that there is both intelligent life, and a level of unintelligent life out there. I also believe there is plenty of unintelligent life here on our home planet. I think ET's have been watching us for years, and I am positive plenty have interacted with us in some way, and that governments are keeping it all from us. (By the way my wife thinks I'm a bit alien sometimes.) One day when we get to a welcoming level, they will contact us more directly. BRING ON 2012!!!!
We need to keep searching for ourselves, and Seti@Home is a start. We also need to work towards sending a definite signal to let other beings at the same technological level as us know that there is somebody else out there.
