Profile: Grail

Personal background
I spend all my time with computers, I read not as much sci-fi as I would like, and yet I've been historically slack at downloading the seti@home program.
Meh.
What do I do?
I eat, sleep, work, and surf.
From May 31st, the work one won't be so certain, as I'm moving, gotta find a new job and all, but I'll be moderately cushy for a couple of months, more than enough time to slack about.
Going to Bushinryu Karate a couple of times in the past weeks has prove that I'm currently as weak as a very weak thing, or as weak as that last sentence fragment, whatever you prefer. I'll make a semi-effort to take up some martial art etc when I move.

My semi-perfect existence would probably be enough food to live on, corner to sleep in, and two things: a good computer, and access to a good library.

Hmmm... how much would I have to save to support such an existence?
2 minute noodles at 30 cents each, or rice with soya-sauce...
woo hoo!

Meh.
Perhaps I exaggerate.
Social contact is perhaps a requirement, hermit-like existence is very... faded eventually.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
First and formost I like the concept of all that volunteer processing power being put into this project, and second, I like the thought that this could help us understand how the universe works.
And even find some aliens.
Which would exist somewhere, but maybe not even within our galaxy, who really knows the odds?
Uh, greater minds than mine have decided little pictures of earth, the solar system, males, females, chemical equations and possibly genes are the most appropriate things to send out into space. Meh. I just saw Species a few days ago, not too crap a movie, the 12 yr old seemed a better actor than the model. *shrug*.

1.18am. At work... the cool thing about work is probably the couch.
But I need food.
So I'll go home now, and convince myself not to walk *over* the bridge and fall off...

Bye.
