Personal background |
I'm in my mid 50's and wondering where my life is going so quickly. I have lived in Perth, Western Australia since 1994 and am proud to call myself Australian. I was born in Romford, England in the middle of the last Century, (that makes me feel even older), grew up on a diet of Heinlein and Asimov, and eventually left the hustle and hassle of England for the most beautiful city in the world and space to live. I have three children; two, Steven and Louise, both married and living busy lives in England, and one, Marissa, in Perth, married, and to the family's delight gave birth to her first child, Emma, in late 2003, and second, Joshua, on 2nd January 05. Grandchildren are great! Once I was a lawyer, but eventually saw the error of my ways, and now I am MD of an enamel badge/promotional company I started from scratch in Perth, (see the www. version of my Email address if interested). I work all day with my beautiful wife, Valerie; there are two cats ruling the house; possibly the best Golden Retriever in the world doing his bit to balance things up, a pool in the garden and food on the table. Life doesn't get much better than this. Hobbies are limited, (ask anyone who has their own company!), but I love my garden, am a keen Freemason, and just LOVE spending an evening relaxing and eating Pasta in Fremantle. I run a P4 3.2gig system, running 24/7, and my wife's P4 2.4 is linked and helping too. |
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
Freemasons refer to God as 'The Great Architect of the Universe', which I think is a rather apt description for a Deity. It seems to me that an architect wouldn't take the trouble to design and build a whole Universe and then not use what was available in it. Therefore it should follow that we aren't alone. At least I sincerely hope we are not, and so I am pleased to do my bit in the SETI project. Whether it ever finds anything, given the vastness of the search area is debatable, but I buy a lottery ticket every week, 'just in case', and every time a new work unit downloads it could be 'the one.' I can't imagine that any sentient being who could reach us should pose a huge physical threat, it might well be more of a problem for the world to mentally cope with contact, but it is in the nature of man to enquire, and we mustn't be afraid of the answers. All concerned with the setting up and running of the project are to be congratulated for their vision. |
