Personal background
I'm a student in business management at the university of Zurich. Besides this I work as an IT professional for some companies, including my own, which does website hosting. Some weeks ago, I received this fine dual processor Athlon beast from AMD, which is doing the number crunching now. Quite impressive the speed it achieves. I do some coding in C , PHP and Perl and like those penguins.


Well there are also other things in my live than computers (yes I collect also old computers, the last I got is a AMIGA 3000...):


First of all my wonderful girlfriend - Sabine - She's suffering quite a lot from my full agenda

Then I like to make music and of course to listen to music

I'm addicted to good cuisine and fine wines (not what you mean know...), that's why I like to try lots of recipies

I'm a hobby photographer

I like to do long walks

Garden work is another hobby

ahem, and yes books of every colour and nature...




You see, much interests and still just 24h a day... Sometimes I wish a day had 40 hours or someting.



And last but not least: I'm living in Zurich, Switzerland (no not Sweden, altough I'm taking swedish lessons now. Oh goddess another hobby!)


Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I don't know if there is anybody out there: HUHU do you HEAR me? But when I'm sitting in front of my computer it doesn't hurt anybody crunching those numbers and yes, I shut down my computer when I sleep...



Perhaps you guys will catch one of those aliens, who knows?



Anyway, I think alone the technical aspect of the whole thing is very interesting, you did a great job!
