| Personal background |

The picture I provided for this profile shows my son Arthur, 3 years old, on my knees. The picture was taken by my daughter, 6 years old.
Well, I'm drom Bordeaux, one of the few cities from France known all around the world, for the best wine ever. But the region is also the "California of Europe", Bordeaux is the twin city of L.A., our position in the continent, surf conditions and high tech enterprises make us rather similar, they say.
I was born on August, 16 1968. Do the math, that makes me 25 for ever, now ! ;o)
I'm a (currently looking for a job, make your proposals to thierry@mac.com) Project Manager. In french, "Chef de Projet". I worked for 7 years for my company, porting games to the Mac platform and even creating new ones for Mac, peecee, game consoles, before a client didn't pay and put us out of business.
My hobbies. Well, trying to spend quality time with my kids and the woman of my dreams is already the best hobby I can think of. Other than that, my friends are important to me and I love contemporary art, litterature, movies, music (going out and dancing all night on House Music), opera and good wines and food.
And I spend a lot of time, when I'm alone, on my Macs. Simply the future of computing, has always been and will always be. People just need time to notice, I guess. But 5% market share doesn't mean we're less interesting, only that we're elite. ;o)

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. I think extraterrestrial life has to exist. How can it be possible, in an infinite universe, with an infinite number of possibilities, to imagine that life can have happened in only one place ? Or maybe, one of the infinite possibilities is precisely that this incredibly low probability came true. But my guess is that there is life elsewhere.
However, the kind of life there is out there might be so different or so far that our search through SETI@home is hopeless. But it's worth the try anyway.
I simply hope that finding them will happen when humanity will have made progress and be beyond our current stage of barbarism and low IQ presidents, war for oil and we'll all be more like Michal Moore and Steve Jobs and less like GW Bush and Bill Gates !
2. I definitely think that humans should transmit beacons for others to find, just like I hope others do the same. Let's transmit our position and as much information as possible to provide them with some kind of Rosetta Stone.
3. I run SETI@home because this project is simple and beautiful and our computers have so much power that is not put to work.
The project is also a way to discover and analyze interesting space objects, other than ET life.
Why not add this kind of features to the analysis it runs ? |
