Jason you work at NRO?
That would be a cool place to work.
I used to crunch numbers for SETI before they went BOINC.
Yeah, I started there in 2001 right out of college. It is a really cool place to work. I was a co-op student there when SETI used to use the 140 foot(the one in the distance in my last pic, for those who don't know). That's pretty cool you used to crunch numbers for them.
Now I can ask you the question people ask me sometimes.... "So, did you end up finding any aliens? You can tell me, I won't tell" LOL.
Darn if I know, I ran Seti @ home on my home network (8 computers) for five years or so, I was one of the top crunchers for WV for the last year or so.
Brooke County School system was the top cruncher for the state at the time.
The way BOINC was set up when it first can out, there was no way I was going to run it on my computers.
No way to control when the program updated, so you would never know when you were going to have a computer crash from a conflict.

No. I was working at West Virginia Steel when the contractor needed some large plates and steel detailed and fabricated, for the base, if I remember right. I remember looking at the construction plans, there was alot of steel. That was a long time and many jobs ago.
