| Personal background |
|---|
Once upon a time my parents gave birth. Well my mom gave birth, my dad was prolly smoking or watching TV or something.
Suddenly, I was 25 years old, and I had no clue as to where I was going or who I\\'ve become.
I search everywhere for clues to my identity- deep within myself and in the reflections of myself in others.
also, i'd like to add that i've been using seti@home since '98, only that i couldn't retrieve my old account information on my latest install. Which is too bad, really, considering all the work i put my old 486 through.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. because i hate my computer running worthless empty cycles. WORK WORK WORK!
2. i think that this project is almost where it needs to be in order to promote scientific data processing in fields other than SETI, as well, it seems that the new BOINC interface will, at some point, allow for multiple project types- perhaps computational simulations for pharm/chem companies, or genetic profiling, who knows where the limits to multi-portal processing actually lay.
3. I\\'d like to think that, someday, when other organizations get ahold of the BOINC portal to allow the average joe the ability to process data that we\\'d start seeing a few cents a credit here and there- no sense in having work done on a system we own only to have our work splay off as mere heat radiation (metaphorically). While, I admit that I wouldn\\'t charge SETI a dime, I\\'d have absolutely no moral complications demanding a few cents a credit for, let\\'s say such giants as Phizer or GM, should they every buy into this super-processing dynamic. It\\'s all, after all, a purely thermodynamical system. As well, would there ever be a way to utilize this software for user end computations? Being a 3rd party cosmologist modler, I admit that having this much power to work with would definately be worth the time spent setting up a packet generator. Of course, i\\'m, utterly, a non-profit organization, so I don\\'t have the cents to throw around... |
