About

Hi!

You probably want to know who I am.

First thing you should know is that I am a geek.  I love gadgets, I am enthusiastic about the things I do and try, and hell, I do a lot of things!
You might want to know that I currently live in Belgium, in a small place near Ghent. But I am not particularly attached to the country (although I love the people and beer here). I actually want to go abroad for at least a couple of years. I want to learn new languages,  learn how other cultures work, and learn how to be a real world citizen.

My hobbies include: biking, listening to music, hanging out with friends, travelling (which I try to combine with going to interesting conferences) and cooking.
Apart from these ‘normal’ hobbies, I am also very interest in how (open-source) communities work, and how I can help these communities to create better software or services.

For this reason I am actively involved in 2 projects:

I am currently job hunting. So if you know a place where they need a Linux system administrator, let me know :)
