Interest areas
Some topics that interest me most:
- Perl (rarely used for CGI) - There's more than one way to do it!
- Perl is really a great programming language. I'm happy to be a Perl6 user soon! :-) Well, I'm programing everything I need in Perl.
- VisualBasic
- Well, VB isn't really a hobbyhorse of mine (guess why), but I'll keep it here for nostalgic reasons...: I started programing in 1995 - with VB3. My first program was an encryption tool 'Enigma' with some simple enciphering methods like 'Caesar'.
- The Net
- It's a pity that I've discovered the Internets services only on 15th of June 1997. But only a half month later, my first page (not personal) went online... ;-)
- Photographing...
- Since I've bought a Sony DSC-F707, I've taken several thousands photos... :)
- Personal genealogy
- There are 636 relatives indexed in my genealogical database. Many thanks to my father and a few other sedulous people which have spent a lot of time in these researches!
- Open Directory Project (dmoz)
- My favourite web directory that I can improve and work by myself.
- As former editor beat I was responsible for some few German categories: W/D/Computer/Programmieren (in special Perl/CGI, JavaScript and VisualBasic), W/D/Computer/Datenformate and W/D/R/E/CH/Zürich/Gemeinden/Meilen. Unfortunately, I don't have the time anymore to work for it.
Most important stations in my life
- Inventage AG - where I have been working since May 2007
- Zürich (CH) - where I'm living at the moment
- ETH Zurich: Department of Computer Science - where I've studied for five and a half years
- Swiss army: Transmission school Kloten - where I was told how to hold a gun and more... (my plan)
- KZO Wetzikon - the school where I studied four and a half years
- Meilen (CH) - where I lived with my parents until 2007
- Wetzikon (CH) - my birth place, lived there until 1997
