Seven facts about me
The first code I have ever created was a simple text based program which printed a star field onto the screen. It was written in AmigaBasic and just had 3 lines.
I am currently studying computer science at the TU Dortmund and working as a freelancing developer and author.
I have more than 8 years of PHP experience
In my spare time I build and fly R/C helicopters. The list of different models is huge. It ranges from really small ones -- just as big as a human hand -- to quite big ones with about 1.2 meters of wingspan.
I tend to create all kinds of crazy stuff in PHP and other languages. Like a live javascript 3d renderer or a desktop widget system entirely written in PHP.
Since I bought a DSLR camera at the beginning of last year, I really like to go out and take all sorts of photos with it. Digital photography is one of my favorite hobbies since.
For my homepage I may have created a new layout a zillion times, to replace the current one. Unfortunately I always disliked it almost immediately after that. (I hope to finally have found a solution I like and will put online soon)
Passing on the baton
According to the rules it is time to pass on the baton I received from Kore and Mapi to seven other people I know:
Nils Adermann for inspiring me with his ideas and solutions to a lot of PHP problems, every time he stops by in Dortmund to meet his old friends of the usergroup Dortmund.
Godot alias Christian Reimann for his weird but really cool ideas, as well as his mathematical and technological background knowledge.
Poofy alias Peter Koch for always having a good time with at our weekly ug meetings. I always think something is missing when he is not attending.
Hartmut Holzgraefe for having written peclgen and all the nice chats at conferences or out of the order meetings.
Jan Lehnardt for introducing me to CouchDB, which I love since then.
Fussel alias Fussel. A guy I just know from irc. He is always an inspiration. Everything he says reflects his wisdom and his craziness. Often I am not quite sure. But nevertheless he has the gift to enlighten me. Oh wait he is just a chat bot based on a neuronal gas. This does not make him less impressive, does it?
