I'm using this account for my old computer in order not to mess up my avg. time on my primary account (about 400WUs there...).
About myself:

I'm studying computer sciences at the Technical University of Ilmenau and I'm interested in everything that's got to do with computer/internet; in music and I love to go out in the nature... :)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
A friend told my about SETI and I very much liked the thought to dedicate my mostly idle CPU to something useful. I definetaly think there's life out there, most likely intelligent life as well. As it was said in the movie "Contact": "So many stars out there and no intelligent life? What a waste would that be..."
I yet can't quite imagine that we'll meet them somehow cause i know a little about physics and with our current knowledge it seems to be theoretically impossible. But maybe we haven't yet understood the whole thing so who knows... But anyway, even if we don't meet them we might be able to communicate with them or just find out that they ARE there. And that's definately worth doing all this.
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.
