Personal information.

Born September 29, 1965, my father was in the Danish army, which means you move every 5-10 years, so I have lived in most parts of Denmark: Although my parents are from around Copenhagen, I grew up in Sønderjylland (South-Jutland), living first near Rødekro, then near Sønderborg. Very beautiful part of Denmark, with nice people, although they take a while to get used to strangers. At the age of 19, I moved to Copenhagen, to attend The Technical University of Denmark, near Lyngby. I got my M.Sc./ENG. in 1991, and have worked for SEAS, a power supply and transmission company, as a software engineer in the wind-energy department. From March 1997, I worked for Context, as a programmer as well as maintaining a Linux server and doing a bit of HTML. I decided to leave the HTML behind for more Unix/Linux-related work, and thus I have been working for Finn Frogne A/S since Nov. 2000 as a programmer.

Some more personal stuff.

• Music.

  Either the electronic variety, such as Tangerine Dream, Vangelis etc., or the heavier stuff, mostly Led Zeppelin, as they are one of the few heavy rock groups with enough talent. Both strands of my taste seem to merge in my interest for Emerson, Lake & Palmer. No-one can (mis-)treat a Moog or a Hammond-organ like Keith Emerson.
  For a while I thought that modern music had nothing for me; after all, nobody makes Progressive Music like they did in the seventies ... But my interest in heavy music, coupled with whatever sense of humour I have, have led to me buying CD's by artists such as Limp Bizkit or Rammstein (yes, I understand German!)

• Science Fiction.

  Either movies, like Blade Runner, Alien, Close Encounters etc., or books, like the Foundation series by Asimov, the 2001 series by Clarke, the Chanur series by C J Cherryh, hard SF like Forward and especially books by Charles Sheffield. Of course I'm also somewhat of a Star Trek fan, mostly of the original cast, although the newer TV-series have better production values. Don't underestimate the Star Trek books!
  

• Tolkien.

  Actually, I got to know this impressive author through a Sinclair Spectrum computer game, based on the book The Hobbit, as the book accompanied the game. Now, I have a fairly complete Tolkien / Middle Earth collection (and haven't played the computer game for many years :-).
  

• Computers.

  I spend most of my professional life working with DOS/Windows, so it is quite refreshing to play around with other operating systems, such as QDOS or Linux, which haven't been contaminated by Bill Gates. See my page of links for more information on either QDOS, the operating system for the Sinclair QL, or Linux. I started using Linux with Slackware Linux 3.1, which I got from a 6-CD set by Infomagic, with additional patches downloaded from Walnut Creek. Since then I have used more recent versions of both Slackware and Red Hat Linux
  

• Comics.

  Of the high-quality variety, like Carl Barks, or Calvin & Hobbes, or more specialised stuff (but still high-quality), like Ralf König (see next item) or Leonard and Larry .
  

• Being gay.

  Yes, I'm a chubby-chaser, so now you're warned :-) In December 1996, I met a nice Swede; Hans F., and I'll let him introduce himself here. In March 1998, I met another nice Swede, Johan L.
