Single, living in Belgium, I devote most of my time to Software Engineering, movies 'n music, and friends. In winter, the puter takes up a lot of my time, during summer however, I choose to roam the country on my Harley with a bunch of silly friends.
SETI is a wonderfull project, and I do hope, one day, I'll be the one to be crunching the package that contains the info we've all been looking for ;)
Here are some of my favourite thingies:
- Best Programming Language: Java and Powerbuilder
- Best OS : take your pick ;)
- Best Harley : mine!
- Best movie: sheehs, a whole bunch: Starship Troopers, Terminator, Contact, Dogs of War, Pulp Fiction, Star Wars,...
- Best TV Series: Space: Above and Beyond !! Bring it back!
- Best food: italian and mexican
- Best beer: Jupiler (Belgian beer!)
...and it goes on like that ;)
I'll see you all out there and, remember, watch yur six !

Tricky questions...
Off course, ET-life exists! I wouldn't dare say it's intelligent though... But then again, what is intelligent eh ? I just hope it is, that way they can contact us first, because I believe we're a loooong way from going out into space in order to explore it (speed-of-light is a b*tch ;))
Knowing mankind, there are any number of differences between our various races, and some of us could really get along with alien species, other would'nt, and there's nothing you or I can do to change that. Thus, we must realize that an alien species' perception of our world will probably depend on what part of the world they come in contact with first!
And yes, maybe we can transmit ourselves, using radio or light, but I'll leave it up to the scholars to figure out what exactly we should transmit (send them a map to Pluto, so we can observe them there, just don't give them Earth home addy yet!)
All in all, I _am_ interested in ET-life, and that's the main reason why I run Seti@home ;) |
