Personal background
Hello,

My name is Patrick Hankinson. I come from a very small village of maybe 200 people in Weymouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm using a PIII 866 MHZ, 256 MBs R.A.M, and my video card is a GeForce 32mb. I'm trying to figure out how come it seems Seti@Home is only using a very small portion of my computer because it takes and avg. of 50 hours to scan one of those files. I plan on soon on releasing Seti Community, a chat program that I've been working on for the past year, if SETI@Home will let me. If you know Visual Basic and want to help me finish Seti Community e-mail me at: diablo1003@hotmail.com with the Subject of Seti Community or if you have a Windows Server, that could be useful also... Hope you enjoyed reading about me. ;)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1) Yes, like people say if you pick up a grain of sand it represents 1000 stars or planets. So our planet earth represents 1/1000 of a grain of sand. Imagine how many grains of sand there is on our world. I think aliens will look similair to us, but they will be adapted to there planet. Like us humains many of us look different but I still think Aliens will just look like your avg. US Person to a Chinese Person. Only time will tell!

2) Really... I'd have to think more on this question...

3) I run SETI@Home hoping someday I'll sit done in my chair, look at my screen and it will say you have found E.T. Then it will follow by multipe-strokes... :) But not only that everytime I look at the sky and think:
Maybe other planets with Alien life is not advanced like us so that's why we haven't found them! I wish we could find 1 thing that proves that we are not alone.
