Personal Information

Born in Thisted on February 7th 1971, grew up mostly in Brande, later Thy. I have two kids that live with my ex-wife just outside Århus, Tobias (3½ years) and Clara (14 months).

I would love to find a job that enable me to move to Århus.

Protocols

HTTP, TCP/IP, SMTP, DNS etc. I know what I need, and if I don’t I learn, it really isn’t that hard in my experience. The hard part is learning to configure software and devices to speak these protocols and do what you want, which brings me to…

Even further back

Graduated with a HF exam in 1994 from Thisted Gymnasium & HF, upgraded it and studied Mathematics and Physics at Århus University from 1994—1998, with a winter of working on the harbour as a carpenter, loosing the tip of my right thumb in an accident with a saw, making me officially 5% handicapped.

Way back when I was 17 to 20 I was trained as a skilled forest worker, then conscribed into the Danish Civil Defence and was trained in first aid in disaster areas and as a firefighter and smokediver. Lots of fun.

Other Less Easily Categorized Facts

Open Source

I am active in the open source movement in Denmark. I used to be on the board of BSD-DK, the Danish BSD User Group, and was a member of the coordination group behind Linuxforum 2003–2005, but since I became a father I’ve stepped down.

Triathlon

I did a lot of Triathlon from 1992–1997, culminating in 3 Ironman distance races in 1994, 1996 and 1997 with a personal best of 10:07:17. Since 2005 I’ve been training again, but “just” marathons now.
