Well...
Normally you should find some more info about my private life and my private interests on this page.
Beside hanging around in front of computers a lot, I am interested in sports (jogging, cycling, fitness training, badminton, skiing, climbing) graphics and art, cinema, traveling, literature.
Because I regard all this as pretty normal hobbies, I won't tell you much more about it.
Computers
Nerdy stuff ahead: This is of course important enough to be mentioned here ;-)), as I would not be able to write and publish these pages without my machines.
Meanwhile six computers have piled up on my desk, five IBM-compatible PC's and one Palm Centro phone. One P90 with 32 MB RAM and a SCSI-hard disk which runs fli4l as a router for my DSL uplink at home. An also hopelessly outdated PII/300 with 256 MB RAM and a Matrox G200 graphics-adapter which now serves as a cheap surfing-machine for my parents (running Gentoo-Linux and thus preventing a lot of headaches regarding trojans, viruses and other malware), a AMD Duron 700 with 384 MB RAM and a GeForce 2 MX graphics-adapter on which I have installed Ubuntu-Linux an AMD Athlon64 with 1 GB RAM and a nVidia GeForce 6600 GT card running Fedora 8 and a new and shiny AMD Athlon64 X2 with 2 GB RAM and a XFX Geforce 8800 GT running Fedora 8 and Microsoft Windows Vista (eeek). The P-133 I used to prepare my diploma-thesis has been recycled finally.
Read my installation-notes regarding Gentoo-Linux, Fedora Core 3, Fedora Core 6 and Fedora 8.
See also my review on Linux on Laptops which I compiled for the two machines I have used for my work.
Until recently I had to cope with a Mac, but you won't find any info about Apple-computers on my site yet.
I play Unreal Tournament 2004 Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike Source, Operation Flashpoint, Unreal Tournament 3, Quake 4 and X-Plane (if I have the time).If I don't play, I toy around with Linux and bioinformatics-tools, programming stuff and playing (again :-)) with POVRay, Blender and LaTeX . In addition I sometimes run a Game-server on local LAN-party's with friends (6-15 people at most). In between I became a bit more fundamentalistic regarding operating systems, and had to setup Wine and Cedega to get some of the Windows-stuff to work on my FC3-box, but this changed again.
STOP! That's it! Really! Nothing else to tell!
Pretty boring, eh? You have been warned.
