Personal background
I'm a male pupil in High school here in the UK, i'm just about to enter my GCSE final year, I'm academically talented and i work pretty damn hard for anything i think is worth working for.
I'm currently single (not just unmarried) and one of the younger members of Seti@home.
I have recently been working to promote Firefox and am a member of the Spreadfirefox group.
I'm an avid Photographer, swimmer and electric guitarist, and I have a great passion for good music.
I have tried before to get people onto the seti@home project, but so far, without success.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run seti@home permanantly on the background of my computer, i only recently learned of the new release (4.09) and was previously using the 3.68 version, i upgraded and now, i see my results streaming out of my computer! i have had twice as many results in the last week as i have in about 2 months before it!
I realise that the project is fairly unlikely to succede as we are constantly moving further away from any other systems and galaxies, the chances of picking up a radio signal are fairly unlikely, but that still hasn't put me off yet! My suggestions would only be to keep the code coming as well as it is, and a slight issue- on the old seti@home, we could see the total number of results, now we are left with the results page, and we have to count them! anyway only slight, but just an indicator on my status screen to say 'you have xxx results and are xxxxxth in the world, xxxx in your country and have completed more units than xx% of our members' just like the individual results page on the classic seti@home page, and if you are in a group (as i have just recently joined BOINC Synergy) the same would apply. only small, but would be a great idea in my opinion!
