Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Q: Why do you run SETI@home?
A: It started back in 2000 when I was curious how it worked. Internet was pretty
interesting, and specially everything that included distrubuted network work,
just like Seti@home. After a year, I ran it because I found it pretty cool :)
Then, after some time I took a breatk from Seti, since I had to move for a
while, and while I studied I had no chance of running Seti@home. Now, I want to
start up again. and, by luck I found my completely outdated email adress, and
my password i found too far inside my head after days of hard thinking.
Now, im back! So beware!!! :D

Q: What are your views about the project?
A: I have always \\"known\\" that we are not alone in this universe. First, the universe is simply too huge - unbelievingly huge - and that we should be the sole planet among millions upon millions of planets, I find pretty unthinkable.

I think its only human arrogance to believe we are the only intelligent being in exsistence. Humans have never really been smart, and just a look on the world through the past centuries, milennias and earlier times proves how stupid and arrogant we all are.

I dont know if we will find any \\"ET\\'s\\" out there. But at least we are looking. And even if we are not finding anything, we might find other interesting things, we can take with us, and what can help us in other areas of the daily life.

Q: Any suggestions?
A: Not really at this time. But you are all doing a great job :)
