| Personal background |
|---|
As a web admin for my organisation I dabble in scripts to make all the little bits of our websites work.
Nothing exciting, but it pays the bills and leaves me time to do the things I want to do, so I can't complain.
Hobbies include reading science-fiction, basic astronomy and computing - oh and listening to rock music as loud as I can :-)
What else.. - I'm 37 and married and need a haircut.
My website is at http://www.cix.co.uk/~pmurphy if anyone is bothered. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
With all the stars out there how can we be the only ones that are around? It may be that we are the most advanced race, but even so we need to be the ones doing the exploring, cultures that are on the 'discovered' list invariabley lose out.
Whatever preditions we try to make the tuth will be something else - we'll probably be visited by someone trying to find the previous residents!
We can't help transmitting a beacon - we've been doing it for years and will carry on for a long time yet. As and when we start mining the asteroids etc. we'll be even worse..
I run Seti@home to be a part of something larger - it's captured my imagination as few other things have and I see it as a way that ALL of us can contribute to something that individually we wouldn't have been able to do.
Congratulations to all of us. |
