Yeeha! Now some data about me, maybe at least one outside there is
interested in it...
Ok, let's start with a nice baby-picture of me:
It seems as I wasn't that interested in being photographed, but I cannot remember anymore why.
I was born on October 2, 1981 at 12:47 (12:47 a.m.) in the 'Clinic North' in
Nuremberg.
From there on I was playing with LEGO (TM) and went to the kindergarten in Oberasbach.
After the kindergarten I decided to go to school.
Education:
In fall 1988 I came to the elementary school in Oberasbach
(a town near Nuremberg). I was a rather good pupil, also as
my mother always paid attention that I made my homework right!
In September 1992 I changed to the secondary school in 'Stein'
('Stone'). You can visit their
boring, run-down website here. In May 2001 I made my final examination (called 'Abitur').
Now, since October 2002 I visit the university in Erlangen
(a city near Nuremberg, where the mp3 compression was developed).
I'm studying computer science, what is really interesting me.
I think that computers will be the tools to build our all future
and that's why I want to take part in there. Later I would like to
create artificial intelligence using neural networks.
You can visit the
university's website here.
Hobbies:
My favourite action is programming. I do this almost all my free time long,
since I started in June 1999 with my first large Visual Basic program,
the Trojan horse 'Noname99'. I programmed on it and some related programs for 2 years.
Noname99 has a remote control, but this one does not only work through a direct TCP/IP
connection like usual remote controlable Trojan horses do, Noname99 can also be controlled
through an email-remote control that works time shifted (thus it doesn't matter if you
don't know when the target machine is online). Furthermore there was the 'HD-Explorer',
a really nasty tool to manipulate the target machine's files in real time
through the Internet (no panic - Noname99 was hardly used, it was merely a kind of
programming practice as I didn't find victims where to install it on).
I decided not to publish Noname99 as it is difficult to use and does not work if
it is not absolutely correctly configured. You cannot download Noname99,
but as it was that a 'fun' to program this program I made a little poem for you.
You can view it
here.
In summer 2001 I started my next large project, Toricxs. Toricxs
is a tool to clean up your mp3 collection. It was meant to become famous, and I programmed
for 13 month on it, but now there are in average 2.5 page visits per day :-(
But like Noname99, I see this program as a programming practice. Furthermore its components
like the skin engine can also be used in further projects. This was a real lecture for
my life, don't do anything when you're not sure people will like it!
From this time on (that nobody loaded it down) I also rejected the idea to maybe
set up a firm one day (surely this wouldn't work, too). But my programming-passion is
still unbroken!
From time to time I also play gardener in my little aquarium with carnivorous plants.
Some of them ceased, but most of them I have already since several years.
I like these plants because their ability to move makes them to very special plants.
There are many types of fly traps, for example the clap-traps (venus fly trap),
vertical pipes where the insects fall into and don't come out again,
traps with digest-water in it (where insects drown), traps with glue, traps that work
with vacuum (underwater only) and traps where insects go into and don't come out again
because of 'hair-valves'. You see, there are many ways for flies to die a 'natural' death.
Now the moral question comes up if one should breed those plants, since they are meat-eater.
But I can calm you, my plants didn't catch a fly since two years, they're also growing
well without meat. And furthermore nobody forces the flies to go in, they would do it on their own.
Since August 2002 another hobby of me is photographing. Together with my friend Richard I often
visit various places to take photos at. Fell free to visit the
gallery to view my best photos.

In summer I also ride with my mountain-bike, a Hercules Yuma HS (1998). It has a Headshock Fatty D
fork, Magura Johnny T. hydraulic brakes, Synchros Altrax fellies, DT Huegi naves and Shimano LX/XT
equipment. The favourite action of my friend and me is driving in Nuremberg, particulary troubling
tourists and racing down the castle-hill.
<- here you see the Yuma.

I also tried myself in drawing, but this was not really such a fun like programming and I let it be,
as well as composing.
Click below to hear the one and only song I've composed (you need a Yamaha XG midi mapper or the
instruments will be partially wrong).
