Profile: Pandemonium

Personal background
I'm from Cambridge, England, age 26, a British Born Chinese. I'm a web developer for the local newspaper. Computing is my main hobby and I love chatting with friends online, playing games and browsing the web. I also love all things sci-fi.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. I'm not sure whether ETs exist or not. I'm a Christian, but I'm also a scientist. I don't think that the existence of ETs would disprove the fundamental truths in the Bible.

2. Why not send a beacon? Our radio waves have been leaking into the cosmos for decades anyway. I guess that's all that's required to give any potential ET a flavour of humanity, of how varied it is.

3. I'm running SETI@Home as I just got some new computer kit and I wanted to know how many work units I can get through in a day! I think that SETI@Home is a very innovative way of using excess computing power. The average user doesn't need an AthlonXP 1800 like I have. When I want to play games, I switch SETI@Home off. It doesn't interfere with my day to day usage of the Internet.
