About Me
- I was born in Oberhausen, Germany, where I spent the first about 20 years of
my life.
- I studied physics and did my PhD in theoretical physics. (In the – rather
unlikely – event that anyone is interested in it: Here is my PhD
thesis.)
- I live in Frankfurt, Germany, with my wife and my small son.
- I am (mostly) vegan.
- I love freshly ground and brewed coffee.
- I love the OpenBSD operating system (see my
OpenBSD page and the vi editor (see my vi page).
- I strive to keep things as simple as possible in most areas of my life (one
example being this website).
About This Site
This site does not serve any definite purpose. I have it just for fun, and to
share things I find interesting. It is neither focused on a single topic, nor
guaranteed to get updated on a regular basis.
This site is:
- Plain and simple on purpose.
- Generated by statatic from
these sources. statatic is a
very simple static site generator which converts Markdown files to HTML files,
written by myself and tailored to my needs. (Before that, it was generated by
sasg, a very simple static site
generator which converts AsciiDoc files to HTML files. And before that, for
quite some time, I did not even employ a site generator but hand-crafted plain
HTML files. See here for the rationale for this approach.)
- Completely static – no code is run, just plain HTML files.
- Written entirely by a human being.
- Devoid of ads, tracking, and cookies.
- Hosted on OpenBSD Amsterdam and served by
httpd(8) via
relayd(8).
