| Personal background |
|---|
I live in Missouri City, Texas, a small suburb of Houston.
I am a Java software development director for a small,
data visualization company called INT, Inc.
I enjoy participating in SETI@home and hope you guys and
gals keep up the good work. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I do think ET life probably exists. Given we have only recently
gained sufficient technology to investgate ET life (50 years
or less), I think we may gain evidence of such life in the not
too distant future (100 years). Radio or similar EM sources will most likely
be how we discover it. The impacts to society of knowing we are
not alone would likely be profound to some while disturbing to others.
I do feel we should transmit a beacon with a clearly
non-natural pattern of some sort. I think the separation of
space-time will (has) keep (kept) us a safe for a while. ;^)
Conversations, of course, are another matter. I think
we are like microbes separated from our counterparts by
oceans of water. We may know we share the universe but
we will likely never share the same space.
I run SETI@home since I can help you search with all those
free cycles I have laying around (most of the time anyway).
My only request is that you create an all Java version
that will run on my dual SMP Linux boxes. If you need any
help with this, then please let me know at this e-mail.
I would be more than happy to lend a hand.
