/* Personal */
Well let's see... I'm 21 and in my third year of university studying Computer Science, currently working on my BSc with honours. I can sum things up really nicely like so: Student on weekdays, sabre fencer on weeknights, and a butcher on weekends and during the summer. Though I can't leave my out the being social aspect, which is generally after fencing or during the day (inbetween classes and during some classes - you know how it is), and not with many other computer science majors: 98% of them are too... well... to much of a computer science major for me to handle. As I don't speek l33t, or brag about that "n00b that I pwned in IRC". Though the other 2% are good, down-to-earth guys.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
When I found out about SETI@home, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Plus, I always had my computer on, so I figured I might as well put it to good use, and this is definitely classifies as a good use. The whole concept is a fantastic idea, in both the goal of the project, and how they are going about doing it (using mass computers to form a super computer)
I've been running SETI since '02. I lost it for a while as my computer's hard drive crashed, then when I went back to get it, I found they changed it to this whole BOINC thing: which is an improvement (I think so anyway). It was a bit of work to get it all set up and running again, and I took a look at the other projects, but I couldn't justify taking any CPU power away from SETI. What can I say? SETI for life. (pun intended) |
