| Personal background |
|---|
I was born in San Diego in 1965, moved to Vegas in 1992. Been an IT Professional for nearly 10 years, I currently contract for various firms installing and maintaining networks, down to the pc level. My interests include astronomy, science fiction, gardening, reading fantasy (yup, Harry Potter -- DON'T laugh, J.K. Rowling's books are great!), techno-thrillers and an occasional Trek novel if it's longer than 250 pages! Speaking of pages, I've done a little website design but nothing too serious. Maintained a couple of company websites too. I've also a passion for the old "iron horses," steam locomotives. My son and I share a model railroading hobby. Check us out at http://trains.jdhnv.com!
Previously, I ran SETI on 2 XP (AMD 900 & 950mHz) and 1 W2K (P3 650mHz) boxes. Recently installed an AMD Athlon XP 2800 PC with 512M DDR SDRAM and now it screams! Still run on 2 other machines, but the 2800 cranks out about 10/day on its own.
Feel free to email me, aliens and humans alike! ;). Seriously, a pen-pal or two might be fun. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I believe SETI is a logical and appropriate program to seek out new life and civilizations. Although, I do favor a more aggressive approach, i.e., concerted efforts at improving our Space Program and discovering new ways to physically reach into the Universe. If we would collectively concentrate more resources off this world, then perhaps humanity would be better off. Who knows what solutions may be found in the depths of space? To assume such a notion that there is no life "out there" is the height of arrogance and ignorance. For all we know, Humanity's roots may originate on some distant planet far from here. In Star Trek: First Contact, it's suggested that aliens haven't really taken notice of us until the first warp test of Zephram Cochrane. Perhaps we aren't of any interest to advanced civilizations because of what could be seen as a passive approach to advancement. Humanity needs to evolve, but we will either stagnate or die on this rock if we don't aid that evolution by making more efforts to reach out into the depths of space. |
