- Following the PragProg advice I try to learn a new programming language each year, but make it only every 1.5 years or so. Last year's was Python.
- I am a vegetarian.
- I have a super-secret side project that I can safely reveal here (because no-one reads this blog). I was fed up with reading a lot of feeds to get to the relevant tech news and I'm therefore working on my own meme tracker: it's called minimeme and online at minimeme.org. It's a nice hobby for learning more about natural language processing. It's not really really official, yet :)
- I ran 3 marathons so far.
- Back in 2003 I was mentioned on CMSwatch's home page: I own the world's largest collection of cms baseball caps. Originally, the collection was online at cms-head.com, but for the sake of this post I have brought it back to life here. (sorry about the popup, it's ue to the stupid web counter)
- Every man's most noble duty is to support a completely hopeless football club. Mine is Karlsruher SC.
- I studied physics in Karlsruhe and at Imperial College and hold a PhD in stochastic data analysis.
- I sleepwalk occasionally.
- First Computer I used: Apple III (with an Apple II emulator), first computer I owned: Atari 400XL
- Just like the villain in James Bond's The Man with the Golden Gun I have 3 nipples.
