Greetings and salutations! I am an ancient (wrong side of 50, hehe) radio broadcaster living in South-East Asia (based in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia). Presently I work as Human Resource Development Manager for an international media training organisation. I love life in general (one should, really, maybe it's the only one we have...), South East Asia, its people and cultures, Isan food, digital cameras, fast computers, old books, ripe mangoes, broad smiles, dark-eyed women smoking water pipes in obscure Syrian cafes, the smell of charcoal roasted sateh and my "fool on the hill"-type apartment overlooking Kuala Lumpur and watching the reflections of gigantic tropical thunderstorms far away. If you want to see some pictures you can have a look at http://wt.xpilot.org/cgi-bin/kuala_lumpur/track_changes/
And of course the music of Frank Zappa...Never will I forget that melancholic moment when - while walking through a misty autumnal German town - I suddenly read the timeless graffiti "Zappa come back" sprayed on an old wall.
Then for instance: role playing games (Might and Magic I-IX, although the last one was a shame, at the moment (August 2002) it's "Morrowind", one of the best RPG's of all times...Anyway, tempus fugit and computer games eat a lot of time...
When nostalgia hits really hard I sometimes play the old Infocom text adventures from the 80ies again - all of them classics meanwhile. Anybody remembering "Jinxter" or "The Pawn" from a forgotten British company named Magnetic Scrolls?
Good operation system emulators can also be a source of neverending fun: emulating the Commodore Amiga or C64, Apple's Mac or the latest game consoles on your Windows machine is more than a gimmick...
So, plenty of sanuk to all seti@home users - and may you live long and prosper! And if you one day encounter an alien life form: keep cool and smile...

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| There should be some form of extraterrestrial life somewhere, that's pretty sure. Whether it's intelligent and whether we can communicate with it - I haven't got the foggiest. Whether it will turn out to be like "Mars Attacks" or more like "ET" - let's leave this to Hollywood directors and SciFi authors. But it's a good feeling that your computer is working 24 hours while you can afford the luxury of some spare time and enjoy your life and hobbies with your beloved ones. |
