On myself----------------------- Who am I?Please find my public files here ----------------------- Where am I?What's ".ch"? Or, "Are you really in China?" .ch is the top-level domain name for Switzerland. "Huh?", you say.... Well, though this is a small country (population about 7 million), there are four national languages, in each of which the country has a different name: German: Schweiz On bank notes and official documents there's plenty of room to include all the different languages, but coins, license plates, and domain names lack the real estate so the abbreviation of the Latin name "Confoederatio Helvetica" (Swiss Confederation) is used, which avoids giving preference to any of the national languages. Hence the ".ch" domain name, postal code, and country stickers on automobiles. China is .cn, by the way, and Chile is .cl. ----------------------- ProjectsIn this section, you'll find information about my current and past projects. Linux/PPCATMEL Sim (Semester Thesis ETH Zürich)AT M over Shared Media Networks (Diploma Thesis ETH Zürich, German)----------------------- HobbiesMy interest s are widespread, so I probably have more hobbies than I can really pursue seriously - maybe you just don't want to call these hobbies. Anyway, the most recent hobby is experimenting with digital video. Amazing in what one can do with simple means and limited budget. Go here for more on that. Nice books is another tick of mine. I have far more books than I read, but from time to time I still manage to finish a book. The last one I finished is Cryptonomicon from Neal Stephenson (yes, I do know that he looks like a freak - he probably is a freak. But what the heck?) - very fascinating, exciting and entertaining! Highly recommended! Currently I'm re-reading Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams, who unfortunately passed away May 11, 2001. ----------------------- Curriculum VitaeMy CV is available upon request to cna@cna.ch |
