...me

Every homepage needs a section where visitors can find information about the author. After all, this is Web 2.0. Below are some pictures of me. The first one shows me sitting in a comfy chair and adopting the usual I-see-infinity posture that is befitting for these kinds of photos. The second is a more artistic depiction of me receiving the official geek distress signal while lurking over the rooftops as a software vigilante. The red hat does not indicate a preferred Linux distribution.

Me, sitting in yet another chair A geek's distress signal

See what some random tests say about me:

You are Assembly. You enjoy your work, and enjoy doing it as fast as you can. You have a hard time getting attention. Try showing off a bit more.
Which Programming Language are You?

You are .pdf. No matter where you go you look the same. You are an acrobat. Nothing is more important to you than the printed word.
Which File Extension are You?

Furthermore, according to Fantasy Herald, I am a Lawful Good Halfling Mage Druid. Yet another test, however, made me a Lawful Neutral Elf Wizard (3rd Level) with the following abilities:

Strength - 11
Dexterity - 12
Constitution - 12
Intelligence - 19
Wisom - 14
Charisma - 12

Contact me

If you want to contact me you might want to send an e-mail to bastian@annwfn.net.

I should also be on Jabber regularly; look for canmore@jabber.org.

I prefer encrypted conversations. Please use my public key.

There are other people with the same name out there. If you stumble over my name anywhere else, it is most certainly not me.

...this website

I have used the excellent ikiwiki wiki compiler to create most of these pages. The original content has been ported from static HTML pages.

The site is hosted on a virtual server by Host Europe. So far, I am quite satisfied with the quality of their services.

Some of these days, I'll add more content to this section.
