Profile: Jerry Zaza

Personal background
I am a 43 years old computer engineer currently managing my own company that provides Networking and SysAdmin services here in Eastern Venezuela.
I work with Unix, Linux, MacOS and the various Windows OSes.

I have been a Licenced Radio Amateur operator since I was 16, call sign YV6BFL and obtained the City and Guilds Certificate In UK while attending College over there.
I love building radio controlled models, cars, planes and helis and also love woodworking and have a fairly well equipped carpenter shop.

Finally I love fishing, salt water, river, lake you name it, I live 100 miles north of the Orinoco river and there are several large affluents with lakes where you can fish the biggest bass you can dream of.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Are you kidding? If there is somebody that still thinks we are alone in this Universe he lives under the sand, as of when we discover or make contact with them, I am sure that in another 20 years our technology will have improved so much, that we will be able to detect them, looking for their Beacons, the same ones we have been sending out for the past 60 years.

I run Seti@home for several reasons, First I am a Radio Amateur, that is reason enough for me but I have found that it is a marvelous benchmark tool that allows me to test performance levels on Hardware and Software, totally unbiased.
I run it all the time in my 3 home machines and also run it at work to check performance.

This kind of collaborative project should be used as an example to others to come up with solutions to the problems that hinder our civilization, like war and hunger.

Keep up the good work.
