HEY...CLICK ON PIC TO ENLARGE IT!!Hi, I'm Trev, a 48 year old second generation refrigeration and air conditioning mechanic in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. I recently employed my son, Tristan, as an apprentice, as I see the youth as the future.
I play golf BADLY and enjoy a beer or three on a hot/cold/wet or dry day.
I sometimes take my boat out fishing in our beautiful Queensland waterways. Life's good.......and getting better. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I do believe that extraterrestrial life exists and by SETI utilizing 4.5 odd million (idle) computers to create a "super computer" to process all the data recieved is a small step towards us finding the history long question of "are we alone".
It would be naiive of us not to believe in just the possibilty that ET exists.
Being a non believer is like having your head in the SAND; unless we look and observe we will never know for sure.
I (now) run Seti at home on 1 x 1.4Gb (Tristan's), 1x 500Mb and 1x 400Mb processors, networked. I recently retired my old 133Mb after being in (stand alone) Seti for over two years.
The older machines drag the average data processing time down but EVEN if it takes 150 hours to do one unit I consider that to still be progress.
I read in my local paper that SETI is to have a dish in Boonah (about 15 miles from me) and I'm keen to offer my assistance in any way shape or form to make it possible. We need to study the Southern Hemisphere as, until now, very little is known of the skies over my head.
A philosopher once said that "a jouney of a thousand miles begins with one step" and when you put this idealogy to the concept of Seti we are still tying the shoelaces!!.....
Stay Cool........
Trev......
P.S.......It wasn't me who stuffed the ozone layer but I am helping to fix it!! |
