Personal background
Hi there!

So... I'm to tell you all about my backgroung huh? Well... here goes nothing. I am 18 years old and I come from the westcoast of Norway. (The nort-western part of Europe.) You can usally find me by my computer when I am at home. Otherwise ou can find me at my apartment with my friends watching TV and just taking everything easy. Needless to say I'm a tech-child... a person devoted to computers and technology. Also I'm an animé fan! The SDF Macross series, Tenchi Muyo and other animé takes up my everyday life. Just as school does... except for the home-work that never gets done. :P That's me in a nutshell I guess... Feel free to contact me at any time if you want to.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I have always been fasinated by the stars, so when I read about this project in a magazine I hurried to my computer and downloaded the software needed. I belive that there is life in space... so therefor I run SETI on every occasion I have. SETI@home is a great project. Even if we don't find anything, we can at least say that we have tried to find something.... or someone out there.

I can not predict wether or not we will ever find someone out in space, but I live in good hope. Someday... sometime... we'll have the technology to find someone. Or to travel to distant solarsystems. If they don't find us first that is...

There are many benefits and dangers to such a great discovery... and I don't dare to wander into that subject. It's far to wast for me alone to discuss. Instead... let's just hope that if, or when, we find someone, or someone finds us, that they aren't hostile.

We could start broadcasting our own "homing beacon" signal, but actually we have done that ever since we started using sattelittes... we are already a noisy planet... I leave that question up to the governments of Earth to decide.
