Is there intelligent life out there? You can help to answer that question. Contribute to the SETI@Home project and join the Diarist.Net team! With a bit of software and a few idle hours of your computer's time, you can join the incurable geeks of the world in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

The SETI@Home project, based at the University of California at Berkeley, harnesses the power of thousands of ordinary home computers to plow through massive amounts of SETI data collected by radio telescopes. By particpating, there's a small but captivating possibility that your computer will detect the faint murmur of a civilization beyond Earth.

Getting involved is easy. Just follow these few simple steps:

Download and install the software. The SETI@Home client is available for Windows and Macintosh platforms, and is only 170k or 290k in size, respectively. It can run as a screen saver or continuously in the background.

Retrieve your SETI@Home password, which is randomly assigned by the server when you first set up your account.
