| Personal background |
|---|
I live in New Hampshire, where I've spent my entire life.
I went to the local schools, then graduated from Assumption College with a BA in Computer Science.
While I was at college, a friend there introduced me to the Palace, and soon I was hooked. I became part of an extended "family" of people at a certain Palace site, The Castle.
It was the Castle people who, in turn, introduced me to SETI@home. At first my computer was too old to join in, but eventually I got it running at work for a couple of weeks on some older machines. Just getting a couple of units in at a couple hundred hours each was a thrill that lasted as long as I held that job. That was a couple of years ago, and after that I made no progress for a long time.
A couple years later, I snuck SETI@home onto one of the computers at the town library, and got a dozen or so more units completed until they wiped the computer and locked it. Just recently I finally got a good, new computer and am running SETI@home... @home! I've rejoined the group now that I'm making progress, and hope to coplete many more units. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| I'm not sure I believe in extraterrestrial life, but I *DO* believe in the *possibility* of such life. I run SETI@home because it's fun and useful at the same time. |
