Hi All
I currently work as a photocopier engineer, providing support to other engineers, and doing most of our network installs. I have always had an urge to tinker with PC's since my parents bought an Amstrad 1640, which was followed by an Amstrad 2026, Amstrad 386 and then a generic P160mmx. I currently have a constant throughput of spares I buy to try, which I'm sure drives my wife up the wall. I've been given old office PC networks to play with (P2's etc.) and collected servers and other bits of kit from my workplace when they upgrade other companies systems.
I have my own sideline www.appleupgrade.co.uk, which is not getting very far, but I've enjoyed setting the website up, only my second attempt!
Currently using an old Dell GX1 desktop as a server (it's very quiet), which crunches 24/7, and actually has cooler HDD temp's when it's flat out!
My main PC is an AMD Sempron 2400 running as a 2800, keep eyeing multicore Opterons up, but can't justify the outlay as I don't really do anything to justify more than a P3 1Ghz, hehe. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I like being part of something big.
I'm sure there are other entities out there.
I think the chances of us looking for a signal at the same time as they are producing one is very small.
Motherboards with 10 Via eden processors should be made available. This technology could be used to build woldwide clusters of immense power. I would happily pay £300 for a board like that, where you could set asside 5 processors for seti, 2 for gaming, 1 for email etc..... Efficient, quiet and cofigurable.
We just have to keep slogging along, looking for signs. |
