I'm a senior software developer in his early-50's who lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I started running SETI@home back in 1999.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Why do I run SETI@home? Why not? :-)
Although I am a bit saddened that SETI@home has now ended, I understand that this was but a first step in our overall search and I look forward to humanity's continuing quest to find intelligent life Out There...
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.
