| Personal background |
|---|
I moved around alot, generally, but have been in the D.C. area for over a year now... got married here and pretty much settling in. My hobbies are many, my degree's include AMT/Robotics and EET but have been exposed to electronics since i was 4yrs of age with my fathers tinkerings, I am still wondering what I want to be when I grow up (mind you I am almost 35).
Heh... my background, job wise, is almost as broad as my hobbies. I've been a pressman, janitor, mechanic, programmer (like on my website) construction... basically whatever you can break down a robotics degree into, that's what i've been. although the janitor job was cool... got alot of good cheap tech to build stuff with on trash day.
Yeah my job choices from highschool on career day...
1. Robotics Technician (done it)
2. Astronomer (that was a minor)
3. Preist (not yet)
My first choice originally was an individualist, but my teacher told me that wasn't a valid choice, BTW, where would America be without them? |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Hmmm.... numbered questions... k
1. Do you think extraterrestrial life exists?
"Kinda has too... universe is too vast and old for it not to have been "accidently" created, by either act of god (one of his other pet projects), or by chance."
If so, when and how will humans discover it?
"Hmmm more than likely it will just land in our laps and freak us out, but the pegasus constelation looks good."
What are the possible benefits and dangers of such a discovery?
"Benefits... someone to share an opinion with, or play a good game of UT with over the net, hehe.... Dangers, waking up and not having a good day or they take that game of UT serious (like my brother when he used to get angry at a nintendo)"
2. Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find? If so, what information should we send?
"Why bother? We're already a beacon of RF energy generating a tonage of pure noise... let them figure it out, also they have probably watched every broadcast of "I love lucy" nothing we do is gonna impress them now anyways."
3. Why do you run SETI@home? What are your views about the project? Any suggestions?
"I have ran Seti@home since i saw the news story on cnn, that was back before Drblackross@yahoo.com, when i was blackross@sgi.net (which was a typo, originally it's blackros@sgi.net), for over 3 years now. Back then it was a slower system and hog'd a mess of cpu, my system then was a IDT winchip. Now i run with a 1ghz+ Duron Seti@home doesnt dent the cpu usage.... My views? hmm seems to work pretty good dont know never looked at the source, and no i dont have any major suggestions, other than allowing it to run on MPICH system, lol" |
