I work at a sixth Form College in Leeds providing IT hardware support. I now have 7 machines running seti@home 24/7.
I live on my own in Bradford in West Yorkshire in the UK. I like it like that as I am free to do the things I like to do. Who knows one day someone might arrive that "Floats my boat", but untill then I am here with my two cats Toya and Rio.
Other Intrests.
I make 16mm films both live action and animation.
I make video films.
I record local bands.
I have a passion for Auschwitz and in the process of putting together a website all about it. As well as making an interactive DVD of the camp.
If there is anyone in the local area that is intrested in helping then please PLEASE get in touch I need all the help I can get.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
As to there being extraterrestrial life, I feel that the human race is being a little shorted sighted if not arogent if it thinks that we are the only intelegant life form in the universe. The other question is of course will we ever recieve such a transmission and if we do will we be able to communicate with them in our life time. I feel with the current technology we have at present the answer will be no. But if you had told my great great grandmother about television or man walking on the moon she would never of believed me. So technology is advancing at a fantastic pace so what we cant do now we will almos certantly be able to do in the future.
As for the project I take pride in the small contribution that I can make and hope that one day we will have the answer. But if not it was great fun helping out and meeting new friends.
