title: Helping With the Search for Extra Terrestrials
---
Well, my RC5DES client (for
distributed.net) is
finally back up and running, although I still can't join
Darren's team. For all you security freaks out there, I
installed and configured PGP --
you can grab my public key right
here.
The really funny thing is that I'm now contributing to the
search for extra terrestrials -- ala the distributed approach
taken by the likes of
distributed.net and
all those
Beowulf clusters out there.
Courtesy of
Seti@Home, I
can now contribute my extra CPU cycles to the cause -- searching
the skies for the unknown. Okay, it's cheezy and stupid, but you
gotta admit it's kind of cool. Anyways, it's almost 4am, and I'm
going to bed.
