Personal background
I'm a 55 year old IM/IT consultant in Ottawa Canada. Current development focus is 960 Grid system(WET-BOEW), WCAG, PHP, MySQL and still maintaining several large Classic ASP apps.

Best gig: Stentor Canada (telecom) from 90 to 2001. Great environment. Great people. Great pay.

Worst gig: Audited a US Bank's telecom usage and billing. Found out they were owed millions in overcharges. The problem? The phone company I audited was the bank's biggest customer. lol. The bank and phone company were throwing lawyers at me left right and center. Remember the Bambi meets Godzilla clip? (http://youtu.be/n-wUdetAAlY), well I was Bambi.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Why:
I run SETI@home because I want to prove that we ARE alone. Might take a while, but hey.... how else can I do it?

Sure there's life. Microbial, plant, fish, mammalian. All kinds and maybe even a few new categories (silicon based). But intelligent conscious life with free will and the ability to believe without seeing? Nope.

Intentional or not, we're an aberration and freak of nature. The universe is our playground, and ours to do with as we please.

Views:
Very cool. Keep it up and prove me wrong. I want to believe and convinced!

Suggestions:
You guys need a new website.
