Personal background
I am a 37 year old father of 2 daughters, and I am obsessed with PCs and gaming. I am also shamelessly addicted to my keyboard, and enjoy being connected 2 multiple IRC networks and learning to speak the languages of those others who visit the chats. I am a cat lover, with 4 cats that keep me constantly on my toes. Previous pets include German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, numerous fish which met premature doom (see cats above ^_^) as well as 2 Chilean Rose-Haired Tarantulas. I live in Alabama, which makes me the target of much good-natured ribbing from those outside Alabama.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1)I run SETI@home because:

a) It's a neat program with nice grpahics, although I don't believe in E.T.s
b) It's an opportunity to use my PC for stuff other than gaming/goofing off

2)I really have no views as such about the project, other than I feel it's an opportunity for people from around the world to collaborate on a project.


3)Suggestions:
Even though I am a self-professed geek, I feel the BOINC interface is a bit unwieldy, with options and preferences being located under different sections rather than being grouped into tidy clusters. I feel that a "dumbed-down" version would be beneficial to myself and others like me. I can tell that a lot of effort went into its creation.
