| Personal background |
|---|
| My name is David Southerland and I currently live near Charleston SC. My work has afforded me the opertunity to get out a little and see the world, but I will always call SC my home. I am a field service engineer currently assigned to aircraft maintenance simulators. I spend most of my time at work dealing with computers and their controls over hydraulic, AIO, DIO, servos, and electromechanical applications. In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, sports and anything dealing with music. I enjoy spending time either on the beaches near Charleston, or in the mountains near Ashville or Chattanoga. On a nice day, you'll be hard pressed to pry my hand off the throttle of my Harley but every now and then you'll find me working under the hood or cruising in my '67 mustang. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I'm currently operating a P4 2Ghz over clocked to 2.73GHz with 512M of Corsair memory on a Soyo P4S main board with ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 8500 running on a striped Western Digital 100Gig and 20Gig x2 RAID. It stays up all the time, either under winXP or linux (redhat 4.2, hey what can I say.. I'm old school). With so much idle time, I'm glad to put it to good use with the SETI program. I originally registered with SETI back in May of '99 on an old 486DX266. It took me 6541hrs to accomplish 210 work units back then. I'm pleased with the advancement in 3 years time. Any project that can utilize resources such as this one has my admiration and my support. I can't wait until the Australian scope is online and ready for trials. I'm truly excited about it's capabilities over Arecibo. |
