Just a 20something average geeky type, recently complete a BSc (Hons) in Music Technology from BCU (Birmingham, UK). Now working in the music industry making huge wads of cash and doing various Class A drugs off the backs of hookers... No, hang on - it's more like earning just enough to survive and keep on getting in to work, eating instant noodles and dreaming about my ideal home studio setup! That's more like it.
I've been contributing cycles to SETI@Home right back from 2000; I moved away from the project for various reasons but came back to it recently when I finally had some decent machines to run the client on. So, SETI was plonked back onto any capable device I could get my mitts on - and off we go!
I currently run two machines at home, plus devices dotted around at work, and all BOINCified. The new graphics card in my main rig also handles CUDA crunching, so that's getting some work to stretch its legs as well when I'm not playing video games ;). And why not? Seems a waste to have the machine on and not doing anything of use.

Namaste,

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

What would you rather do, burn through the electricity having your machine sit idle, or have it put to good use for your money? Better to use the AC and CPU cycles for something at least a little productive (other than counting Electric Sheep).
And who knows, maybe you *will* find aliens? |
