title: Helping With the Search for Extra Terrestrials
---
Well, my RC5DES client (for
<a href="http://www.distributed.net">distributed.net</a>) 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 <a href="http://www.pgp.com">PGP</a> --
you can grab my public key right
<a href="/~pabs/public_key.txt">here</a>.
<br /><br />
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
<a href="http://www.distributed.net">distributed.net</a> and
all those
<a href="http://www.beowulf.org">Beowulf clusters</a> out there.
Courtesy of
<a href="http://www.setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/">Seti@Home</a>, 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.
