Personal background
Hi, I'm known as Unts on the net. I'm a member of the ttz forums at http://ttzforums.com

I'm a monster techie there (that's good) and a member of their Seti alliance.

I 15 and into anything to do with computers. I build them, fix them, but the thing which is the most fun is destroying them when they are dead! (mwahahaha!)

My current computer is an Athlon 850 and can do a unit in 8-9 hours. The first time I ran Seti@home it was on a P4 1.6 at school and took 40 hours! That has had a bad influence on my average processing time!

The rig I want to build is a 64bit AMD Athlon Clawhammer (when they come out.) I'm saving for it now! That will be one hell of a Seti cruncher!

Anyway that's about all I can think of saying now, apart from if you see me playing Red Faction online be VERY afraid!

This is Unts signing off!
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I reckon there is life out there, because the universe is so large. Even if the probability is so small that a planet can contain life, I'm sure in a universe the size of ours, there are plenty with life on them!

I think if we want to get in touch with life more intelligent than us, then we need to send out a beacon of some sort. They may well know we are here, but leave us alone until we can prove we know what's going on out there! I don't know what we'd send though, probably something mathematic: something any intelligent life form could understand!

I run Seti@home because I like the idea of life being at there, and would like to contribute to finding it. Seti@home is also a good use of my computer's idle time because it's on a lot but not always using 100% of it's CPU time. Seti@home is also a great way of checking if my computer is running stable and has adequate cooling!

I think the Seti@home project is a great project and will continue to grow. As long as it continues we are actively doing something about finding life out there and that's good!
