Profile: Phaid

Personal background
My name is Graham Tyson and I am 33 years old and live in the UK about 7 miles outside Manchester city centre.

I work as a Communications Analyst in the IT dept of a large insurance company in the centre of Manchester.

My hobbies, well I like reading (mainly sci-fi, fantasy, horror & humour but also anything that gets my interest), much the same goes for the TV & Films I watch too. My music taste is wide ranging (from classical to heavy metal) but tends to be pop, dance or rock/heavy metal. I enjoy watching football (that's soccer if any Americans read this), ice hockey and motor sports and am a supporter of Manchester United football club (have been since I was a kid) and Manchester Storm ice hockey team.

I have been running Seti@home since the project started and find it a far better way to use my idle PC time over other screensavers plus it makes me feel like I'm contributing to something.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think extraterrestrial life does exist, the univers is far to large a place for us to be the only life in it.

I also think we will discover it but I don't know when as it all depends on how advanced life is out there. We have only been on this Earth for a relatively short period of time in geological terms, so there may be races out there that are far more advanced than us and there may also be races that are less advanced than us. It depends if they are actively trying to communicate or like us are flooding space with electromagnetic radiation as a by product of everyday life.

I run Seti@home so that my idle PC time is put to better use and it makes me feel like I'm contributing to something worthwhile, and who knows I may even be one of those that detects ET.
