Hi!
I'm Claudio de Biasio, an Italian guy working in IT field since... ever! Kidding. I started playing with computers back in the 80's, and then I made a profession out of this hobby. I like computers since whenever they go wrong... *you*, as the programmer, did something wrong... and you cannot blame it on anyone but yourself! Well, ALMOST ALWAYS... heheheheehehe.
Anyway. I have also always been fascinated by science, math, physics, black holes, and so on. And actually I studied math and physics for three years, before choosing computers as a profession (nope, I didn't get my PhD... maybe later, OK?!)
SETI is a great project, and since computers grew more and more powerful, I always dedicated some of their spare time to that project. Not as much as I should or could have, I know... but, a few years are all there.
My idea about it? I think we will NOT discover something using this method. Yep, I am almost positive that the coincidence frame is way too narrow to make us "win the lottery". But, I'd sure be glad to be contraddicted! And so, here we are, with a neat PIV/3GHz/1GB crunching at full speed data on this project.
Wanna get in touch? Write me! That's cdebiasio@team97.com, or just come visit my site (http://www.claudio.debiasio.name). There's an Italian and an American version, so you should feel comfortable with that part.
What else? Have a great day! And, let's hope that in the future everything will be just... one!

Whoooops! I guess I replied to this section above! Anyway. Suggestions? Include in the project SOME features to make it a little bit... various! E.g., a map of the stars where it's scanning... or a view with complicate equations used in fourier analysis scrolling aside lots and lots of numbers - as you can see in the Sci-Fi movies. I am a programmer, and I know that NOTHING slows down a computer more than user visual feedback. BUT, as a programmer, I also know that NOTHING is loved and cherished more by users than see their little "CP" (pronounced "seeppy"!) performing (at least, VISUALLY!) like those supercomputers in Star Wars movies.
Another idea? Use LCARS - as in the Star Trek screens. That is LOVED by Sci-Fi fans - and we all are like that, or we would NOT run SETI@Home!
Byeeeez!
