Where are you from, and where do you live now?
Living in Denmark, city of Skagen
How long have you been programming?
Hmm good question. I started making small programs on my commodore 64 back in the good old 80's, this lead to amiga in the 90s and then came a long break from learning. Late in the 90's I began learning html and last 4 years I have been looking at php (a little on/of) until now that is.
What is your expertise?
Actually my main computer skills are placed along the sound editing area, which is pretty far from php, but still getting better (I hope) at programming.
What got you to XOOPS?
I was updating the website of "Tiger FM", a local radio station, but people still needed me to post news, pictures, edit streams and post them. From Google I stumbled upon http://www.xoops.org and realized that if I tried this, they could do most of it themselves from the radio.
What do you like the most about XOOPS?
The potential. Dusins of people working together to improve every aspect of the project. There's basically nothing you cannot do with xoops.
In what area of XOOPS do you contribute and why?
Still working on my first module (100% xoops coded) and I feel every time I write 1-2 lines I learn something new. Hopefully with this new knowledge I can help someone having the same obsticals I have/had. I am pretty curious from nature so these problems I havent encountered yet I am sure I will plow into at some time.
What you you major achievement in programming that you're most proud of?
This award obviously. And of course the feeling you get when making onair and you see it working.
What are your hobbies, when you're not coding?
Music. Used to work as a DJ but had to give it up. The weekend is short enough as it is. I still have a few shows at the local radio station and still do some odd jobs mixing music, making ids etc.
You favorite dish and drink?
Food in general is my favourite. Havent tryed anything I didn't like yet. Coffey is a must have! But I would never turn down a cold beer. (I recommend Zagorka or Red Carlsberg)
What about movies and music?
Definitely horror / mystery movies. As for music basically anything goes.
As for music I like almost anything. From Händel - Lascia ch'io pianga to Illdisposed - Dark.
If you would have a chance for a 30 seconds commercial with a message to the world, what would you say?
Don't be afraid to take chances or to make changes but take your time to use logic in the time between (30 seconds is a lot of speaking for a commercial )
If you could choose a place and time to live, what would it be and why?
"Right now" and "right here" feel pretty good for now, but ask me again Monday and I'll give another answer probably.
Who is the person that you would like to meet and why?
Hmm don't know, there are so many but there is no one I would just die to meet. Plato maybe ..but I don't speak Greek.
