About

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).
