Profile: Richard John Purves

Personal background
I'm a 20 something year old computer geek and film maker. Yes, I know that sounds like an eclectic combination but hey, you'd be suprised how much they collide. I listen to music ranging from Pink Floyd to The Orb to the Kronos Quartet and i'm generally one weird terminally single guy. Oh, and i'm English!
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
To be honest, i'm just simply glad to help out. As a former computer engineer i'm aware of just how much spare computer processing cycles there are out there untapped in people's machines. With the advent of gigahertz processors available to the home user, a collective effort such as this must increase our chances of finding "someone out there". Plus, it saves building huge supercomputers! Sorry Mr. Cray ...
