Chris, I totally agree that running services will be time consuming, though I don't think I mind so much. I almost like playing sysadmin :). We'll see what happens. Thanks for your feedback, though!

If you want to do charity, sell it and donate it to GiveWell (which researches other charities and donates to the most effective (in terms of lives saved or a few other measures) one). Not that SETI is bad or anything, but you should get the most out of your charity dollars that you can. Whatever you do, don’t do SETI.
