| Personal background |
|---|
I am geek. I have many interests, from web site construction and maintenance to Unix/Linux/BSD system administration. Some are new, some are long term. I have many sites. The two main ones are Geek's World, and the second is Geek Blog. The first has many sections, the Hacks of the Abnormal Geek, Comments, Statements, & Arguments, and the Geek's Tips. All are excellent, if a little barren due to a newly launched redesign, as well as a move to a new server. Therefore, you may find things a little slower around my sites, while things propagate and transfer.
On the personal note, I am a 24 single guy who lives in Winnipeg, MB, Mosquito capital of Canada, if not the world. My interests are, of course, tech, as well as Country music, some Nascar racing(select Winston Cup races only), and TV. My favorite shows, though not nearly a complete list, and some shows are even off air, are Babylon 5, Buffy, Angel, Alias, The Agency, West Wing, WWF(for the comedy of the 'acting'), Level 9, Charmed(the sisters are hot and powerful), and many, many others. Musically my interest are as varied as my TV tastes. I think Garth is a great musician, but has grown more then a little too commercial, Alan Jackson is the best old style country artist out that is under 60.
Metallica had some good music, and a lot of great music from before the Black album, but cannot be forgiven for their betrayal of the fans. Alabama is a great band, while Brooks & Dunn are my favorite old school tag team. Beethoven was an awesome composer, while DC Talk have some great inspiring music, and Jars of Clay as well. If you had asked 7 years ago who my favorite band was, I would have answered Mortification for light metal(the more spiritual companion to Death metal) and Tourniquet for the lighter stuff. That was the lightest stuff I listened to them. Things change, I guess. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Hmm. Do I think there is intelligent life out there. Well, as it has been oft repeated, if there is intelligent life out there, they sure wouldn't come here. I do think there is such thing as another species, though I am not sure if I ascribe to the BS, E:FC, or ST version of them. I prefer to say when they come down, shake my hand(or blow me up if they choose) then I will know what an alien looks like. I think that if half the abduction tales are true, then the little green/grey men cannot be the only intelligent life out there, that is if you believe they are indeed intelligent for having come all this way time and again to see little old us.
I do not think we should broadcast our location into space until such time as we have the ability to protect ourselves. Invariably there will always be a more violent version of any peace wishing race we encounter, and knowing the luck of the human race we will eventually hit on the race that would just as soon vaporize out planet, then come down, shake hands, and mutter well wishings.
I run Seti because I hope to one day hear of someone I know who has hit that magical transmission, and I can say I know the person who found life out there. The Seti project is a good idea, listen rather then broadcast and wait for some other race to find us. I do think that if aliens have been visiting, then we will never pick up their transmissions, because they have obviously found a way to hide them from us. Therefore, I feel you need to ascribe to the fact that either they are routinely visiting us, and could well have built a space station above us for all we know, and therefore Seti@home is a waste of time because they have found was to become undetectable, or that aliens have never visited us but are out there, and we should listen up so we do not ever miss the transmission. I reserve judgment, so I don't look like an ass or moron when I am proven wrong. |
