To begin with, I am a 1976 born student of Japanology
at the Free
University of Berlin. My affection for electrical
equipment (back in these times most families did
not own a home computer) began quite early. My parents
are still telling stories that the best toy they could
give me was a electrical-cable.
It seems that during that time I began realizing my
career. My computer career (is this really a career
??. To be honest, I don't think so) started
when I was six years old, when my dad bought the Commodore
64 (price: $550 !!) with a Commodore
1541 DiskDrive (price: $500 !!). On
this system I made my first basic experiences with BASIC
(what a mighty language this is.... phew).
My first self-owned computer was the Commodore VC-20
a kinda light version of the C64. But my real
hacking/coding activities started with the invention
of the Commodore Amiga. This system started a
new generation of computers with a nice GUI (Windows
was far from what it is now back then).
My primary programming language was Assembler.
We did some demos but nothing really fancy. It was the
time of my A-Level exams when I owned my first
PC (I never wanted to have a PC but when SVGA
came the Amiga was no longer superior), but during
that time I was quite fed up with computers since I
attended a Communication Electronics School so I concentrated
on the other side of life.
Gladly this happened, I have really been what people
might call a computer jerk but gladly I changed.
It was during this time I started surfing and
skiing. I also started training Karate
which is a wonderful martial-art which trains the whole
body but also the brain-hand coordination.
Privatly, I never got back as deep into the programming/coding
as I have been in my Amiga-times. But after starting
working at Siemens
this changed a bit. I learned Java, Perl and
some proprietary Protocol-Testing Language. But
my spare-time is no longer being used for programming
or anything like that.
Before I forget, right now I am single but I was never
searching for a girl in my life. Love is where love
falls. One day I will meet a girl with which I consider
spending the rest of my life together.
Whether this happens sooner or later, I cannot tell.
Well, I do not know if this was what you wanted to
know.. But anyway.. I just told it ;)..
Have fun while browsing my site. BTW.: A photo
of myself will follow shortly..
