Seti:
SETI and distributed processing is such a good idea just hope it make a difference, sometime.
Books:
Cant help reading Science fiction books, good or bad. Read about one every two days, you can be sure i'm out of good books now. I Sound like a geek and maybe i am but i need to read whenever I can.
The world and its absurdities (May add to this whenever i feel like a rant):
1) Too many wars, too much famine, not enough to go round etc. Yet there is still a priviledged few who squander resources like they are endless.
2) Rock concerts in aid of global warming that actively cause global warming.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I've been running Seti@home since November 1999 with a fair amount of excitement about the project initially. My interest started to wane in 2003 and i'm now just trying to rekindle it.
I used to believe we were not alone but i'm not so sure now. Depressing thinking I know.
Even if we are not alone the distance and times for communication are so prohibitive that our society will not benifit (or be harmed by) any contact for centuries. To be honest i think we will have succeeded in (or be in the process of) making a good job destroying ourselves.
Sounds a bit downbeat but a quick question. How many users run their PC overnight just to get the stats up? Thats not very green is it. |
