| Personal background |
| I'm a 39 year old IT-Consultant from The Netherlands (Europe, next to Germany). Usually you can find me sitting in front of my workstation (Self-built off coarse) trying stuff for most of my day. If not there, I'm swimming, driving my motorbike, cooking or working.<BR> |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
I became interested in SETI@Home back in 1999. Chris Pirillo pointed out this program in his <B>Lockergnome</B> magazine. Since I'm running a complete testnetwork at home, usually consisting of 4 systems, powered continiously I thought it would be a good idea to make use of those clockticks which were ticking away unused.<BR>
I like the thought of having those machines doing something usefull in the time I am not actively using the network. I think the SETI@Home project is <B>the</B> way to bundle the enourmous computerpower we have in the world in a 'low-cost' manner. Since I believe we are dumb enough to call ourselves an intelligent lifeform, there must be a species in the galaxy that actually deserves that title!<BR>
As of 2005 I enrolled in several other BOINC projects, which are also important to me. Since then I have <i>infected</i> quite some systems by running BOINC on them. |
