I am an Industrial Electrical Eng and an Analog Electronics enthusiast. I can calculate the anguler velocity of a sin wave but can not spell it. Computer programing is among one of my hobbies and distributed computing and p2p technology interest me. Contact and Pool Hall Junkies are probly my favorite 2 movies with Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Time Bandits not too far behind.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run Seti@Home for three reasons. I realy belive that ther is ETL out ther and would love some confermation. It makes me feal good about owning sevral computers and haveing a real acientific use for keeping them running all the time. I also love the development of new and usefull computing technologys and like being a part of ther development.
I would like some more definition of the analisys of the WU's and better statistics. I realy hope that they keep the stats page for the anaversary dates as this gave me a small number of people to compare with.
I would also like to see more comparative stats on benchmarking and such. This would be interesting to the hardware fanatics as a neat platform/database for hardware comparison. Even if it was just Homebrew Vs. Big Computer Manufacturers or prossesor brands.
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.
