About me & Home Page
I studied computer science and now work in a small but fine IT company near Mainz (Germany), mostly doing web application development there using Apache, mod_perl, MySQL and LDAP, mostly on Linux and FreeBSD boxes.
See http://abe.home.pages.de/english.html or my German Wikipedia user page for details.
How I came here
I'm also a (non-professional) writer for Symlink (http://www.symlink.ch/), a Swiss-German news site in the style of Slashdot and focused on Open Source, IT politics and data protection. I often needed some hyperlinks for details on some topics and Wikipedia often gave me exactly what I looked for... Maybe I also heard first about Wikipedia on our own news site.
Wiki experience history
IIRC I had my first Wiki experiences with the Emacs Wiki (http://www.emacswiki.org/), the tcsh Wiki (http://www.tcsh.org/Home), and the POE Wiki (http://poe.perl.org/). On the last one I also have a Wiki home page (http://poe.perl.org/?XTaran). Now my Wiki activity mainly focuses on Wikipedia in German and English as well as our company internal Wiki, a TWiki. :-)
