Personal background
My name is Alf, and I'm from Norway. Me and my wife live on an island called Averøy, west of the town Kristiansund. I am 35 years old. Both my wife and I are medical laboratory technicians, but for the time being only my wife has a job now. The music in my life is blues. I started a blues club a short time ago, where I am the leader, and have now about 30 members. I love to play my guitar, but my fingers still hurts after a few hours, so I guess I just have to keep on playing till my fingers hardens. My lovely wife is not that interested in music, and not to happy if I play to loud, but she loves me and understand my passion about blues and has a lot of patience. I know my english is by far perfect, but I hope that it will not annoy to many people.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I recognize that the project produce a huge amount of data, and need help analyzing it. I love their idea where a vast amount of PC's can analyze bits of data. I have for a long time been thinking of letting the SETI-program use my computer and analyse bits of their data, since it's not constantly in use. And the software dont use a lot of computing power anyway now that PC's has become more powerfull.
I finally logged on to the internet and seached for SETI, and read about SETI@home. This I downloaded and it's now running good and well. I belive that we one day will discover one of the signals that will be the real deal, and that will prove that intelligent life is out there. There are a lot of dedicatet people that are part of this in one way or another, and I want to have been part of it all, even if my part in it will be small. Never the less, I will then be one of the participants. It's such an important project that we all should take part in it one way or another.
I belive in this project, because it has the potensial to answer, in my oppinion, one of the most important questions in human history: are we truly alone in the universe? I belive that we have to keep on trying, even if we in the end will find out that the intelligent beeings out there are broadcasting information via another technic, maybe a kind of laser or what not, but we still have to try. Someone said that absence of proof is not proof of absence, and I belive this has to be an importing reason to continue the project. If I had a lot of money, the SETI program would be one of the project I would give some of it to. But I guess it helps a little when I let my computer run the SETI@home program.
