Hi, I am a Technical Design Engineer from Ireland. I basically design and spec networks, from the structured cabling to the LAN/WAN equipment etc etc. I am originally from South Africa ( Durban ) but have been living in Ireland for 2 years now. Big change from the surfing hot weather culture in SA. I have a number of machines running my SETI program and would like to contribute what i can.
I m interested in the ideas behind SETI and space and life outside of our planet's is something that I have always wondered about.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think that in a Universe as Diverse and vast as this, I cannot believe that there is not any other life that has at least evolved to the same state as us. I think that we are only going to find out if we try so ... here we go.
I think SETI is a good idea - and why not use surplus processing power - its there and not being used.
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.
