Personal background
I work at a big company that makes cell phones and systems.
There are lots of computers here, and my work is to collect leftover bits and bytes that sometimes leaks out of the computers.
I now have a collection of really vintage bits from years back.
A fine one is a bit from a VAX11780 running Adventure.
My favorite is one from a M6800 1MHz CPU that leaked from a Tektronix analyzer back in 82.

Sometimes I help designers shake network cables if a bit has got stuck, or level the cables if they want to speed up the network.

Once I got lost in the cellar. That was horrible. I't took a hazmat rescue team two months to locate me.
I had to live on bugs that I found by reviewing old code from a stack of striped paper that fell on me.
Fortunately I found an old vending machine wich was loaded with coke. I broke it open with a 5 kilo battery from an Ericsson HotLine.

I was very lonely, but occasionally I heard faint rustling noises behind me which cheered me up a bit. Sometimes I saw a dwarf eating coal in some distant dimly lit hallway, but he scurried away when I tried to feed him coke. Seems like dwarfs eat only coal.
There was also a really big green snake, but a little yellow bird scared it away.

That was a real Adventure. Know what I'm talking about??.. Naah?..Ask your mom or dad, they know!

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes of course ET exist. They are already here, but disguised as humans.
Unfortunately it is difficult to check who is ET since you have to unscreew the head to find out. I have found that most suspects will object if you try.

No, we shouldn't dial back, they may find it safest to exterminate us if they find out about us.

Why am I running Seti? As I said, I'm collecting rare bits and bytes.
