First of all, let's define the "hacker" therm for me:

As I don't want to be considered to be a geek - I'm just to good looking - I want to call myself a hacker, which sound much better for me. ;-)


Hardware history:

• something with a green screen
• Pentium III 600mhz (overclocked and destroyed)
• MP3 Player PC (incl. hardware hacked car-radio-panel to keyboard and LCD mod)
• Athlon XP 2400+ Thorougbred (heavy 20kg+ loud 8 fan box with several mods)
• Shuttle XPC P4 2,7 Ghz
• Core2 silentPC, my special assembly with sound insulation and quite components/cooling
• MacBook Pro (finally satisfied with a HQ laptop supporting OSX, WIN and Linux)

This stuff cost a lot of money, but by repairing PCs and solving software problems I could earn well.

I keep my computer knowledge up to date to evaluate and take advantage of the latest developments. Also being very fast in learning and integrating new software for work helps me a lot.

Software brain storming:

• win: MS Office, MS Project, Cinema4D, HTML, VBA, ACAD, Paint Shop Pro, MathCAD, Mathematica, Opera, Firefox, Thunderbird, Fluent, utorrent, EcoTech GBR, MapSource, Miranda, Skype, ProE Wildfire, Solidworks 2008, Autodesk Inventor 2008 …

• linux: for fun, experiments and tracing the impressive developments - switching is possible!
