About

My name is Daniel and at the time of this writing I am 26 year old, a computer science grad student and a developer for embedded systems. I am a happy unix user, mainly using Mac OS X and FreeBSD. In my free time I like to watch movies, play basketball as a forward in my university club and have long breakfasts.

I had already given blogging a try some years ago. However after some postings I found myself updating my wordpress installation more often than I actually wrote something. Eventually I gave up writing completely. Earlier this year then, I discovered github.com and the possibility to generate web content with jekyll. Since I had always wanted to write again, but never felt like hassling with some blogging platform again, the jekyll system finally felt like the right way to start over. So now this site is generated with jekyll, hosted on my own server, mirrored on github.com and took great piece of structural inspiration from al3x.net.

I do not have a general topic for this site other than that I write down everything for which I find the time to. This will most likely include a lot of technical topics but not exclusively as I also want to use this site to keep my written skills in shape, which sometimes get neglected during all the the programming.
