Normally you should find some more info about my private life and my private interests on this page. 

Beside hanging around in front of computers a lot, I am interested in sports (fitness training, jogging, cycling, swimming) graphics and art, cinema, traveling, literature.

Because I regard all this as pretty normal hobbies, I won't tell you much more about it.

== Computers ==

Nerdy stuff ahead: This is of course important enough to be mentioned here ;-)), as I would not be able to write and publish these pages without my machines.

I run way too many [[my computers|computers]]. Five IBM-compatible PC's and one [[Google Pixel 2XL|Android smartphone]] plus an Intel Celeron with onboard graphics, which serves as a cheap surfing-machine for my parents, running [[Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Desktop |Ubuntu 18.04 Linux]] and thus preventing a lot of headaches regarding trojans, viruses and other [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware malware].

My current desktop is an AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT with 32 GB RAM and a nVidia GeForce RTX 3070 running [[Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop | Ubuntu 20.04]].

Read my [[Gentoo Linux|installation]]-[[Fedora 10 Linux|notes]] regarding [http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo-Linux], [http://fedora.redhat.com/ Fedora Core 3], [http://fedora.redhat.com/ Fedora Core 6], [[Fedora 8 Linux|Fedora 8]], [[Fedora 10 Linux|Fedora 10]], [[Fedora 13 Linux|Fedora 13]] and  [[Fedora 14 Linux|Fedora 14]] as well as my [[CentOS 6.2|CentOS page]].

See also my [[Linux|review]] on Linux on Laptops which I compiled for the two machines I have used for my [[Postdoc|work]] as well as a less outdated page about [[Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on Lenovo Thinkpad x230|Linux on Lenovo Thinkpads]].

There are three pages related to my [[Palm Pilot|Palm]], [[Nokia E71|Nokia]] and [[Google Pixel 2XL|Android]] phones, but they are not too exiting and pretty outdated by now.

For some time I had to cope with a [http://www.apple.com/powermac/ Mac], but you won't find any info about Apple-computers on my site anymore.

[[Image:tux_cs.png|left|[[help:contents|Counter-Tux]]]] I play [https://web.archive.org/web/20060826172536/http://www.unrealtournament.com/ Unreal Tournament 2004] (no, not really any more), [http://www.counter-strike.net Counter-Strike] and [http://www.x-plane.com/ X-Plane] (if I have the time).

If I don't play, I toy around with Linux and [[Postdoc|bioinformatics]]-tools, [[Python|programming]] stuff and playing (again :-)) with my [[XBMC HTPC|media center]]. I used to run a [[Linux|game-server]] on local LAN-party's with friends (6-15 people at most). In between I became a bit more fundamentalistic regarding operating systems, and had to setup Wine and Cedega to get some of the Windows-stuff to work on my FC3-box, but this changed again and I am either playing Linux-native games or stuff on Windows 10.

STOP! That's it! Really! Nothing else to tell!

Pretty boring, eh? You have been warned.
