Personal background
None of you know me so i'll pretend to be someone fgamous that you all can relate to. Hmmm let me see...





I know I'll be kylie Minogue.





Born in Melbourne, Australia on May 28th 1968, Kylie first came to the British public's attention from her appearance on the soap Neighbours. She released a cover version of Little Eva's Locomotion which was a big hit going to number 1 in Australia and England. This was quickly followed up by I Should Be So Lucky. Kylie was now signed up to the hugely successful production team of Stock Aitken Waterman.

Kylie's sister Dannii, herself a pop singer though not achieving the same level of success has had some singles in the British charts. The press claimed that there was some rivalry between the two but this has never been substantiated.

Kylie's love life has always been a source of fascination for the press. Her early liaison with co-star Jason Donovan an example of this. Kylie later had a short but well-publicised dalliance with the late Michael Hutchence, former front man of Australian band INXS before he met and married Paula Yates. Most recently Kylie has split from her model boyfriend James Gooding.

In the 90s Kylie went through a phase of different collaborations in order to try and shake her squeaky clean image.

These included appearing as a floating corpse in a Nick Cave video as well as working with the Manic Street Preachers. None of these proved too successful so Kyle went back to her roots as a pop/dance diva when she released Spinning Around in 2000. Again, this single reached the number 1 spot in Australia and England. The following year Can't Get You Out Of My Head, written by Cathy Dennis, herself a former pop songstress, proved a turning point yet again for Kylie. The song with it's catchy rhythm and excellently choreographed video brought the Aussie star to centre stage yet again.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
We on't discover aliens, they will discover us but theres no harm in trying. Hmmm dangers? well i spose they could arrive at earth offering to solve all our problems of world poverty and starvation and disease and stuff then after a few years when everyone is healthy, come and slaughter us all for sale back home in some meat market somewhere, possibly.




Should we transmit a beacon, hmm yeah why not.




I run seti at home on a few computers now as a bit of a benchmark but then also to keep my machine doing something when i'm not and also i just really love the little green icon in my sys-tray.




Thats all folks, and just in case she reads this - Kylie i want to have your babies, oh wait, did i get that wrong.....
