| Personal background |
|---|
I live on a Radical Faerie Spiritual Retreat Center in rural southern Oregon, and telecommute to South Carolina as a 3D graphics software developer. Even though I'm seldom connected to the net, seti@home uses all of the cycles on my Linux notebook that are not eaten up by rendering graphics.
I fetch new data just a few times a week thanks to the Linux cacheing scripts. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
The Seti@home project is, for me, a symbol of organized cooperation among diverse people toward a common goal. I want to support it with my CPU to show that the concept of non-realtime distributed processing works in big ways.
I also believe strongly in extraterrestrial life, and hope that the SETI project will help the cultures of Earth to look beyond the confines of our own cultures.
I also dabble a bit in astrology and astronomy. It's fun for me to have another object to track in the sky: the location where the SETI data that I'm currently processing originated. Sometime I can look up into the sky, find the point where the telescope was pointed and wonder, "What if...?" |
