I'm a Chemical Engineer and worked for Brazilian Government as a Research Senior for many years. Now I'm retired and my hobby is computer programmings. You can know a little more about myself on my site at: http://planeta.terra.com.br/religiao/unidual/
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I've already ran SETI@home a few years ago but I have to reformat my computer several times because of viruses. Also some program work took all my time until today when I read on a page of Nature's about some signals found by SETI from a point 1000 lightyears distant in the midle of nowhere and that awake my interest again.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
