Profile: The Truss Household

Personal background
Age 37, corporate software developer - SQL, HTML, java, c#.

Have always been interested in astronomy and physics but lacked the time and money to study these academically. Have spent many hours reading stuff on the web related to these subjects.

My only regular hobby is body building.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
As a programmer, my computer time is spent mostly writing and debugging source code. This doesn't use much resources on a dual-core processor machine with 2Gb of RAM. Rather than all those resources sitting idle, the spare processing cycles could be doing something way more important (in my opinion) than any work I am currently doing and certainly much more exciting.

SETI@home gives me the ability to use my computer for something that relates to the human race as a whole.
