Hmm,tell 'us' about myself is it?
Well, I come from a small Country, tacked on (for some bizarre reason) to England, goes by the name of Wales.
I'm passionate about Science and Space - I'm also passionate about computers, Celtic History, knowledge, humour and knowing when to laugh out loud.
Several years ago I joined the original SETI@HOME but, sadly, lost all ability to access my 'old' 0nlooker account (not least because the company I founded, foundered, which left the email addy drifting in the Internet ether).
I'm older than I feel but, younger than I look ;-) I seem to have been surfing the highways and byways of the Internet forever now, more than 20 years - argh! (remember ARCHIE anyone?) and can still remember a day in 1991 when I first used a WWW browser (on a 9k modem - that was fun!), over the years I have created (and lost) so many profiles on so many message systems that my split/multiple personality complex is feeling inferior to my Internet personality complex :-)) ha-hum - whats important though is that I still recall in May 1999, the very first time I encountered something on the Internet that really made me sit up and pay attention - a site that had been set up in the States, with a fantastic new idea for doing something useful with all them CPU cycles, SETI was its name... Hooked on the concept ever since and will be a supporter for as long as necessary to find some proof (for the absolutely certain fact that...) ET is out there.
Meanwhile, keep going everyone and remember - keep laughing! Its good for you! Oh yes - join "the final front ear" as well coz their great :)
Luck to you all

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I run SETI@HOME in the hope of driving a nail into the coffin of the luddit-loving, bible-breathing, 7day creation-craving individuals who (to me) represent everything negative about humanity and our capacity to think, dream, feel and rationalise. I also maintain a significant hope that we will achieve some kind of (passive) contact in my lifetime.
The project is one of those singular, "sit up and pay attention" examples of how we can, as an international group of _humanity_ demonstrate the classic statement of the Whole being greater than the Sum of the Parts
My only significant suggestion would be - don't be tempted to lose the sense of wonder that the site evokes, the more professional/corporate the tendency, the less humanistic it is (IMHO) |
