Hello Universe.
My name is Michael Thompson, and I am a 17 year old year 12 student at Ballajura Community College, Western Australia. I study computers with my brother, and since year 9, I have had a wild fascination with the development of computer games. I have since been in the planning stage of one of my games, and have recently set up a website, http://flashstargamecreations.webs.com for my game creating hobby.
Anyway, I first heard about this project when I started to learn about making computers and so on, and I was interested in learning how to make a server. In an article outlining how to create a server, it made a reference as to some projects that the reader could do, one was SETI@HOME. I never really considered taking a look at it. Anyway, then on tuesday the 17th of may 2011, my computing teacher taught the class about distributed processing, and mentioned SETI@HOME as an example, and how he had taken part in it. Having learned a bit more about the project, I decided that I would download it and take a look at it... Now I run my computer all night just to do SETI@HOME and Rosetta@HOME (or something like that). I like giving back to the community, helping other people and so on. I guess that is why I did it. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

1. Because I want to help the world in as many ways as I can.
2. I think it is great, as we will need to find life ssoner or later. saying it doesnt exist is like saying micro-organisms dont exist... just because you have never seen then doesnt mean they dont exist, how man livable stars are out there??? just by our standards? there could be some sort of extra terrestrial lifeform living in the sun for all we know!
3. None at all. |
