| Personal background |
|---|
I'm Assistant Planning Archaeologist and Historic Environment Officer for Leicestershire County Council.
I waste a lot of time playing World of Warcraft (finally managed to get one of my characters to level 60!) and apart from that I do quite a bit of church related stuff (lively evangelical church, nothing boring!).
I play the bass guitar and have a pretty big CD collection.
Can't think of anything else to say!
Oh, I got married in September 2004. :D |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I don't think there are aliens. I love watching Science Fiction, but I'm sceptical when it comes to real aliens. There's so much silly nonsense, with so many people believing that they've been abducted... Why would aliens want to abduct humans? It makes no sense. Honestly...
A beacon transmitted from Earth would always be a problem. After all, how would you transmit anything that made sense? Although I suppose that a transmission of any sort would tell them that there's intelligent life living on Earth. Or at least life capable of sending radio transmissions. :)
I run SETI@home for several reasons. First of all, because I don't believe there are aliens and this is a sort of proof. Unless it turns up something. Then I suppose I'll just feel stupid. Secondly, because my friend Mark runs it and he thought I ought to as well. I downloaded it a couple of years ago on my old computer and it took so long that I stopped doing them, but now I have a faster computer I thought I'd try again. Thirdly it's an interesting sort of competition to see who can complete work units the fastest. And lastly it's a cool thing to do with my computer, I'm part of something big, and it's very geeky. Which can only be a good thing. |
