| Personal background |
|---|
| I am 48 years old with two grown up children, and am a proud grandfather! I live with my wife Susan in Kurri Kurri (which in Aboriginal means "The First Place"), a small town some 40 km's west of Newcastle. I was a shotfirer (explosives) in a coal mine but was injured and retrained as a DTP pre-press tech. My involvement in computers goes way back to the early 1970's when you only built the things yourself. The biggest pain was the machine code! Oh how tedius! Today I use a Graphite G4 /500 dual processor machine. This by the standards of 2003 is getting on a bit. But the thing cost me 8 grand and by God i'm going to use it til it's dead! On Jaguar the thing fair rocks. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't throw it away. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I think it is quite possible there are intelligent beings out there somewhere. The chances that us earthlings are the only intelligent lifeforces are quite rediculous based on such an immense number of possible locations!
Do I think SETI is really doing good? Hmmmm... maybe, remember you have to start someplace and this I suppose, is it.... You also have to remember these space folk are also getting re-runs of gomer pyle and old flintstones episodes too. Only thing is.... these poor buggers are scoring the FIRST episodes by now! You know it makes me wonder, what do those folks think of us. That TV was pretty weak. Maybe when they score the Simpsons? But will they understand the politics???
My God you poor aliens!
Anyway if we SETI crunchers just keep plugging along, we may find something. And look on the bright side, it gives your computer something to do when you are not playing UT!!!
Keep crunching folks! |
