<B>Curious info about my Fantastic Career and Forthcoming Empire</B>
|
||
<P>
|
||
I have been born in Hamburg, Germany at 3rd June 1972, grew up, and still
|
||
living in Hamburg. Learned programming from my father, quitted school when
|
||
I have been around 20 years old, teached myself more about computers, and
|
||
spent some time on inactivity, on civil services, and more inactivity.
|
||
<P>
|
||
Then got bored about computers and inactivity, and visited a school for
|
||
kindergarden teachers instead. Unfortunately that's been mostly theoretical
|
||
stuff, they didn't even show us at least pictures of children. After one
|
||
and a half year of underlining words, and discussing these words with my
|
||
neighbours, I decided to stay in bed and to quit school again.
|
||
<P>
|
||
Well, at that time I had sold no$gmb registration keys to the first
|
||
commercial users, allowing me to survive without money from my parents,
|
||
and without having to care for a 'real' job. The downside about programming
|
||
at home is that you sometimes loose most social contacts, and if you get
|
||
paid for it then it's even more comfortable to get trapped...
|
||
<P>
|
||
Uh, I hope I find a better way to manage my spare time (if any) sooner or
|
||
later, preferably soon. At the moment I am looking for a new flat in
|
||
Hamburg, and and everyting will get better when I found it (hopefully). The
|
||
problem is that I'd love to live in a quarter that appears to have established
|
||
itself as mainstream quarter, so the few unoccupied flats in that area are
|
||
either too expensive, or get rent to people with 'real' jobs.
|
||
<P>
|
||
<B>The Nocash Concept</B>
|
||
<P>
|
||
Well, I did choose this possibly silly pseudonym a couple of years ago, but
|
||
alltogether it still represents my lifestyle quite good. Nocash is meant as a
|
||
statement against consum and luxory.
|
||
<P>
|
||
In case of computers that means that I am partly amused, and partly worried
|
||
about the craze for newer and faster computers, and for more bloated and
|
||
inefficent programs. And the people <I>really</I> believe that they would
|
||
need the hitrash stuff. I mean, give list of five million numbers to one of
|
||
these guys, and tell him to add all that numbers together, how long would that
|
||
take? One week? A month? But he would still treat a computer that handles that
|
||
calculations within a single second as 'slow'.
|
||
<P>
|
||
In my programs I attempt to point out that the quality of a program doesn't
|
||
depend on it's size, or on the hardware. Yes, yes, that might be a senseless
|
||
attempt, but I like it that way.
