I'm 32, and am an astrophysics student at the University of Colorado. I'm hoping to teach, but the lure of research is strong...
I am an amateur observer, technical hobbyist, rock climber & hiker and avid reader...but I stil spend way too much time sitting in front of my machine, watching my work units accumulate. Go figure. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I've recently built a new PC, on which I run both Windows XP and RedHat Linux with kernel 2.4.18 and KDE3. Currently, I run an AMD Athlon XP 2100 (not overclocked) with 1GB of very fast Corsair PC2700 DDR CL2 RAM that I have running at CL2-2-2-2 timings at 166MHz (a 4:5 bus:mem ratio), and this helps to let me manage about 3.0 to 3.5 hours per work unit...not bad, considering I used to run a small-cached PIII at 700MHz.
When recently asked what I might do if I won the lottery, I replied "build a new big bowl antenna somewhere radio-quiet" and then, thinking better, replied "...or maybe I'd just fill a warehouse with rack after rack of built-for-the-purpose SETI cruncher machines!" |
