I have lived and worked in Houston, Texas most of my life. I have worked with networked PC's since ARC net was the standard. I remain fascinated by computer hardware. Therefore the inclusion of C and UNIX was logical. My first C project was a home security program. Now the program would be classified as client - server running on MSDOS.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
When I ran across SETI@home in the mid 90`s, it was a must have for my Linux firewall. My account name has changed a time or two but I continue to run SETI@home. I set goals on this last startup and recorded each milestone as each goal was passed. I look for news about SETI in print and television. It is quite a feeling of accomplishment to be allowed to participate in this project.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
