| Personal background |
|---|
I'm 20, working full time as a programmer. I'm also studying in the computer sciences department in the univesity of Helsinki (Yup, thats where Linux was born =). I live togheter with my fiance, and we've now been going out togheter for over 4 years (engaged for 1,5 y =).
For hobbies, i play in a band called Gallery of Tragedies as a guitarist. When i'm not doing that, i'm tuning my web/mail/sql/ftp/dns/other servers, spending time with my girl and my friends, and so on.
Thats it in a nutshell. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I'm positive that e.t. life is somewhere out there. There are so many planets, that if even one planetary system out of all galaxies had a planet with suitable climate for life, there would still be billions of them. And I think that if life on earth was an "accident", there would still be an enormous amount of possibilities for another "accident". Also, there may be life in a format unknown to us. Maybe entities of pure energy constantly move through or bodies. Maybe water is just one big life form, unable to communicate with us. Its just that we humans are so self-oriented, that we cannot believe what we can't see. Science is the ultimate proof, and its never wrong, even though it has been proven otherwise thousands of times.
For the beacon, there is no use sending any beacons anywhere, before they can be accellerated to a speed, which won't take 50 years for the beacon to reach the next galaxy. Or maybe we should concentrate on crating a huge powerful beacon, which signal would reach the outer limits of known space. A beacon would cover such a small portion of space...
SETI@home is the only software i run at my pc all the time. Of course i never turn it off because of the webservers and other, but data analysis is always running. It's also running on my work pc. I don't care if I find ET or not, but i want to be of assist in the project (and to compete with other unit crunchers =). I still would hope more user-spesific features in the account area (like a map to view which areas of space YOU have covered, all spikes and gaussians detected by you, etcetcetcetc. =) But as a sql programmer, I understand that due to the heavey load and the size of your databases, this is somewhat impossible.
Good luck with your project, may the gods of ET look upon us. =) |
