Me and my interests
I work for a small company which does webhosting and provides support for open source software to various companies.
I'm a regular skydiver. My home drop zone is PCMN (http://www.pcmn.nl/) in Hilversum, the Netherlands. My favorite disciplines are freeflying and wingsuit flying. I started jumping in April 2001 and now have just over 300 jumps under my belt.
Recently I started building and launching water rockets.
I am also an avid Linux user. Although I have Windows XP installed (dual boot), I rarely use it. I mostly use these open source applications: KDE, Mozilla Firefox, The GIMP, XMMS, and Kopete.
I frequent Slashdot and Fark.com, occasionally submitting to the Photoshop contests there.
My favorite music genre's:
- Goa trance music
- Drum and Bass
- Trance
- Metal (occasionally)
Wikipedia stuff
Articles I've written from scratch:
- Alan R Hawley -- A great granduncle of mine.
