Personal background
I'll always rember the moring when my father woke me up. It was the 21/7 1969, i was just 10 years old. It was very early, 4 am, and the sun has just come up. He said we should whatch TV, and there it was a picture, in black and white ofcourse, of Armstrong climbing down from the Eagle and putting his foot on the Moon....Wow, but in those days i actually did not understand the magnitude of all this. I remember i thought it was an episode of the ScienceFiction show "The Man from Mars" - how wrong i was....

And today 23/10 2005 i saw a TV program about the whole Universe, a broadcast from Swedish Public Service TV, and in this program there was a clip from SETI, and this project SET@home, so i thougt why not....

Today i'm 46 and have been working with IT since 1982, first as a programmer and since 1995 as IT-manager. Besides my family, my wife Ã…sa and our 3 children (Fredrik 21, Johan 18 and My 13) i have been traning Judo since - 1969 - i got my 1dan 1996. I'm also very interested in cycling and i saw an another "Armstrong" in Paris this summer 2006 - Lance Armstrong - winnig his 7:th Tour. He is the greatest. A side hobby is Rock, Soul and Jazz. My collection is about 1200 LP, still playing those on my Fisher 800C tube amp, connected to a pair of homemade QWP. And another hobby is my gardenpond with Koi's. Surf to my site http://dammen.just.nu and see the life in the pond in real time. You can choose an B/W cam or a Color cam. If you like it sned an mail to me. rolf.svensson@schapter.zzn.com

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
See above.

I think it is a greate way of how to use the power in a worldwide network, and should we ever come up to a sign of life - well it's just to congratulate.

No suggestions at this point.
