| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I came to find out about SETI whilst working for a client (Wilco Telephony). A programmer there had the Seti Screen saver - i was hooked from that moment on, i have been an active advocate ever since. The number of machines I have running varies from week to week. But I try to get it running on as many machines as possible. The thing I love most about the project is being a unit in the most massive distributed computing system - ever. It shows the real power of the net, how an idea can sweep across nations becoming truly global and the real future for computing. If you look at what has been achieved (with a mere 3 million or so machines. Think what you could achieve with every machine on the planet ! The second thing I liked was the science achieved and yeah maybe finding where the other life is in the universe will be a nice little bonus. |
