Personal background
I'm Steve, 32 years old and live in England in the U.K.

I have worked in I.T for 15 years (Seen it grow up a bit) and still enjoy my job. When asked I can only liken my job as solving a rubics cube puzzle, whilst doing a crossword.. It's all about the problem solving with nothing tangible to show afterward but get it wrong and oh dear 8)

My main hobbie is believe it or not computing, yes I work the 9 hours a day problem solving, and then come home and normally do much the same only this time the problem solving is for me.

I have a son who is seven and a little techno child if ever I saw one, he is currently building a robot and when old enough wants to be scientist and work on the moon, what ever happened to being a bus driver or a fireman 8)

If E.T lands I hope it's over in the U.K as we have less guns over here so the little bug eyed monster stands less of a chance getting it's head blown off before it gets a chance to communicate, still better I hope SETI get there first.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Does extraterrestrial life exist, I am very confident it does let's face it the Universe is near enough infinite and with that amount of numbers the conjure with the probability I feel is 99.9%. Thing is the intelligent life may have been and gone and we missed it this time. I think the probability of us as a race being sentient during a time that another race is also is dramatically less.

You have to think how old the universe is, how old our little Galaxy is and how far away we are from the event horizon of the Big Bang to realise that many empires have been and gone before. Let's just hope that we can leave something behind us for others to remember us by, except a smoking burnt out planet.
