There we go, a new challenge to explore, as a writer.

No, not a book but just plain articles. Trying to maybe find a new addiction where I can share my thoughts and findings. Nothing great, nothing exciting, maybe even boring, who cares.

Let me start by introducing myself. I am a, currently, 60 year old dad, husband of a lovely lady and the father of two sons. We where originally living in the Netherlands in one of the youngest towns of that country named Zeewolde. After nearly 30 years we moved to Germany. We live in a small town called Neuenhaus, located in the 'Grafschaft Bentheim'. A relaxed area where people have an eye for theirs and ours, where they great you with 'Moin' in some cases or just with 'Gutentag'. A friendly town.

I used to work in the IT area as a coder/engineer/database/learning dude, I did what was needed with a preference for nix based systems. I stopped supporting MS Windows years ago since I simply did not like the closed environment that is used to sell their software. Currently I am not working anymore and I spend my time using open-source, enjoying Photography and our Garden. I try to do my best in the Kitchen to prepare some meals, bake some bread and other treats.

This account will not be used to discuss politics, pandemics or other news where I am not able to change what is happening, it will be more or less of a personal blog.

I can also be found at the following fedi sites.
