| Personal background |
|---|
I am a software engineer specialising in real-time multi-threaded software, mostly telecoms related. I started in electronics back when radios still had valves in them and moved into software some 25 years ago (when circuits you could mend were replaced by chips you couldn't). I've worked for the last 20 years for a software house in the south of England. We currently produce Type Approval Test Equipment for mobile phones (GSM, GPRS, EDGE, 3G and LTE).
I am interested in science, science fiction, war gaming (SFB, Battle Tech). I enjoy badminton and go to the local gym. I am on the Sports and Social Club committee and organise several events a year - at least one of which always involves a visit to a curry house.
My favourite author is Larry Niven (but you'd guessed that already hadn't you given my email address and handle) and yes, sad as some of you will think it is, I am a Star Trek fan. I play Star Fleet Command (SFC) a lot. SFC is a wargame set in the Star Trek universe, based on Star Fleet Battles - a board game of enormous scope and complexity.
Using Bionc, I now run SETI@Home and ClimatePrediction.net. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1) Why do I run Seti@home?
Carl Sagan said it best "There may be intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, but somebody, somewhere had to be first."
2) Should we transmit a beacon?
I think our military radars are doing just that.
3) Suggestions?
All of my previous suggestions were implemented within the Bionc version. Thankyou. |
