Ever since I was little I have liked to sit in front of the computer. First it was mostly the games that took my attention; Back then the games came on magnetic tapes (also used for music) or big floppy discs - and my computer was a Commodore 64. I have been sitting in front of that since I was 3 years old. My favorite games was Paperboy where you simply had to deliver papers, and avoid the dangers on the routes (dogs, cars, trashcans and holes), and get the paper to the doorstep or direcly into the mailbox - and avoid to throw it direcly through people windows... I have ti adnut I often tried to crack the windows. I couldn't start the games on the C64 by my self, so I needed my father to start them for me.
But that changed when I got my first Commodore Amiga 500 Plus which was a keyboard where all the components was inside; you inserted games in the side of the "keyboard" and then you could use the program that you have started. I have had two of the Amiga 500+ models (an Amiga 500 wich was upgraded to 1MB (MegaByte) RAM(, and played almost every day! For a birthday one year I got a game from my father; MicroProse Gunship 2000. Ever since, I have had a great interest for helicopters, but more of that later. On the I also played other games; mostyl it was Bundesliga Manager Pro which was in German, Sid Meier's Pirates, Oil Imperium or Hill Street Blues which was loaded - but many others was insertet.
When my father bought his first PC - an IBM Aptiva with OS/2, and I got his Commodore CDTV; it could use the Amiga 500 games if you had an external floppy drive (this could also be used for the A500 so you didn't had to change discs so often), but apart from that it could also run programs by CD-ROM using a caddie; we only had one game, which was Defender of the Crown - and we would rather use the CD-version,as it had better graphic than the floppy version. The CDTV had an external keyboard and a remote "mouse" connection by infrared. When my father upgraded his Aptiva, the old one was made to computer for us all - but I still kept my CDTV (which also could play music CDs). Tht CDTV never had a good breaktrhough - maybe because it came just around the first payable personal PCs, I think.
Some years after I builded my own PC, and ever since I have been building PCs for myself and for others. THe one I have now is a basis of one I builded when I was 18, and have been changing components when I felt it was time - but it can go on forever!
And now for some short facts:
I have had a very turbolent school time: I have been at around 7 diffirent ground schools and tried out more than 4 different edducations - and in a period of my life, I didn't even was in school because I simple didn't wanted to: I was tired of it.
I was bullied most of the time through my child hood, and that was a part of the many changes of schools. It may also have been a part of making me who I am as a person and human being. But in the last half og being a teenager, I decided not to give up and go forth to victory and become something.
After a Ground School Exit with a fair avrage score, I tried to become an automechanic, but already in the foundation classes, a teacher asked me "Are you sure this is what you want? When I look at your assignments, I see you have potiential to become much more", and recomended to be become a journalist or something simular. I kept going on anyway, and saved up for my drivers license so I would have better chances of getting an aprintenceship. After som years, I dropped out and wanted to be an auto sales man in stead, but finding a place where I could work and get edducation at the same time wasn't easy, so I ended up getting an apprentenship at a male dressing shop. Here I was in about a half year before I got fired and didn't really know what I then wanted to do.
During a stay at a collective, I notised alot of problems with a computer, and to solve the problems, you needed the admin-account which was one of the five accounts on the PC. But noone knew the password for it, so I start to brute force the passwords one by one. And at last I got some money for which I should build a new computer; and this opened up a new oppertunity for me. An IT-guy who have hear of me, offered me to let me become his assistent and wanted to teach me a little while I was there. He teached me HTML and quickly notised I had flair for computers and that I quickly learned what I was told and could quickly calculate what should be the next moce. He offered to get me on an edducation as system administrator, and we went to talk with the school to settle the deal. This also granted me the International Computer Drivers License, which I completed in about a week, and at the same time became the school's systemadministator's assistent. During my edducation I ofte builded and fixed the computers for both students and teachers and worked as supporter. I even had my own workshop at the school and one time I had the responsibility for an apprintence. The edduction ended well with highest marks (12/A) for my main assignment and exam.
I applied for many possitions as a systemadministrator, but without any luck. I then found a job-ad where the National Hospital searched for a supporter, and I choosed to try it out even tho it wasn't the kind of job I really wanted. But I got it, and it gave me foot inside a good network, where I 3/4 years before I came to the mother organistaion, Capital Region as a systemadministrator.
This is my pressent job. Here I administrate different hospitalssystems, including systems used for lab. analycis, patient information and journals and different administrative systems.
I also work in projects. One of them I am boooked half of my time in 2011 to reprogramming of journal template system used by nurses to state the finds they do on there patients. Here I work in .XML and Java.
For now I have no plans of changing jobs, but should I get offered the dream job, men I might change.
Free at last!
When I am not at work, I spend my time on rest & relaxation: either by doing nothing at all, do something unmoving (like watching a movie or read a book) - or just something that makes me happy.
One of the things I would do, could be fishing. Right not it happens too rarely, so my gear is stored away - same as my stamp collection and my hardball weapon and tactical gear.
I use alot of time on my motorcycles and moped: I have a small collection, which also can be seen here on the site, and almost every week from March to November, I take a ride on either moped or motorcycle. I also use alot of time where I repair, restore or rebuild them, and I almost always have a project going on. Some of the projects, can be seen on this site as well, or on my weblog.
I am a member of the vintage moped owners club Stemplet (Danish for "The Piston") where I also work on old mopeds and ride some trips. I can also be found on the Danish Yamaha RD Forum, and on other moped and motorcycle foras (including one as an Administrator).
One of my other interests is fotographing; I especialy like to photograph with analog cameras, with real film, and I have a small collection of cameras from the beginning of the 1900s and onwards. My newest analog camera is a Canon EOS 1000 FN. My favorites are a Canon AE-1 and a Sovjet camera called Zenit EM - both for 35mm film.
