Profile: Nik Munday

Personal background
I`m a thirty year old English male.
I enjoy target shooting, amature astronomy, reading, listening to music, watching DVD`s, surfing and my home computers.
I have a few PC's, my main workhorse is an Athlon XP 2800+
I shoot Field target competetively, using the BFTA rules. I happily shoot along with a group of like minded others for my home town.
I am a whisker short of 6 feet tall (181 CM), and weigh 200 Lbs (93 Kilos).

Have a nice day.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think extraterrestrial life does exist, and firmly believe it is naive to think otherwise. There are just too many points of light in the night sky, to assume that there is not some form of inteligent life inhabiting a planet orbiting at least one of them.

Humans have been transmitting signals from earth powerful enough to leave our own corner of space for 70 years now. Other than the simple one sent from Arecibo years ago, and the disks on the voyager spacecraft, none have ever been sent deliberately. I think it is about time that was changed. The information to be sent should be simple. "Here is intelligent life", would suffice until some form of communication is set up.

I have been running SETI@Home for nearly six years now. I started to run it because I wanted to be a small part of a large machine. A machine designed to search for extraterrestrial life. It also, by design or otherwise, brought together people from many nations, leaping many borders, leaving national bounderies, to help a few believers at Berkeley to find, or at least try to find the elusive signal. Along the way, it also set a new worlds record. Keep it up ladies and gentlemen, the show should go on.
