welcome
Hi guys,
thanks for stopping by to have a look at my page. If you want to know me better you should probably try to find me somewhere and ask me something 
about me
I'm just another linux enthusiast and so called evangelist.
I do linux and security trainings as a freelancer since 2000 and did my UCP (ubuntu certified professional) as well as the ubuntu official instructor test in may '07 (during which I had a great time in Stuttgart, thanks again Billy and Chris).
personal stuff
Just some personal stuff:
- I'm 31 years old, married and have one lovely daughter and now even one lovely boy so far.
If I am not working on someone's PC (including mine) I most likely will be humming an 80's song - sometimes I combine these two hobbies
If you've come to know me in IRC you should know I am the man for (try to be) funny remarks and overlengthy descriptions for things that tend to finally work
good example for that is [https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+question/8091 here]
my projects at this time
These are some of my projects:
http://parpwatch.sourceforge.net - PARPwatch is a python arp watch daemon mostly for windows which logs to the eventlog.
http://blueproximity.sourceforge.net - BlueProximity is a security tool to detect your presence near your computer via bluetooth for automated locking/unlocking of the screen.
trying to understand packaging for Ubuntu and Debian by packaging my BlueProximity package myself.
starting to have a look at [http://mythbuntu.org Mythbuntu] as they want to integrate BlueProximity too - and it looks quite nice.
actually finishing my BSc degree at the [http://www.uni-hannover.de Leibniz University Hannover].
working on right now
thanks to persia I am trying to get rid of gtk1.2 in favour of gtk2 in old packages. Some notes on that:
- change Makefiles
gtk-config --cflags => pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0
gtk-config --libs => pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0
- change Source
- Drop calls to /gtk_tooltips_set_colors/
- Exchange /GTK_WINDOW_DIALOG/ with /GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL/
