Your personal background.
I am a 60-year old truck driver, H.G.V.1 this side of the water,18 wheeler on the other side. Starting in 1975 I was running overland from London to the Middle east before the European union was formed.9 Frontiers 9 languages 9 currencies.
That is where I first began to appreciate the night sky,in the middle of the desert. Five years of that before the mid-east went pear-shaped,then another ten driving thro' Europe.In the mountains in winter the view can be even more captivating.
I grew up in Glasgow,Scotland so as any city dweller will say,"what sky?"
Now I just stay local.
Your opinions about Einstein@Home
I run Einstein because I think it's a worthy project.I don't have any degrees,but anything that helps astronomy can only be a good thing.
The only thing I would suggest is not to sit on all our data once it's analysed.Check it out as our work comes in.
