CURRENT MISSION

Life-long learner - wannabe student still when retiring

ABOUT ME

I am geek, used to be musician, now playing with computers and getting paid for it. Still doing part time studying, but because job, I have no hurry to get diplomas anytime soon.

PHILOSOPHY

There is only limited amount of fairness that you can give out before it back-fires to you. You therefore cannot save spreading it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer couch.
I haven't yet have possibility to host any visitors from CouchSurfing circle. Often people request couch, but my place is probably so far from city centrum (it isn't, 20 minutes with local bus!), that other places will precede it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

These things best kept secret, but smething spectacular: Welcoming citizens from East-Germany to West-Germany at 7 am on border zone on that day when the iron curtain fell down in Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I may teach you some linux, if u let me. Maybe I still have some musical skills hidden beneath, since they have been archived for years. I own fretless e-bass, trombone, keyboard, several block flutes and some electrical 'devices' but have not been playing them anymore. I have built working synthesizer out of bare components in two days with guidance at our Hackerspace. Had no or minimal soldering skills before. Amazing feeling, when you learn something really new.
I am open to learn something totally not my cup of tea. Also welcome are small but clever hacks, that may not be of use for everyday's life but still make your day.

My cooking skills are limited: I know how to not burn your pop-corn down and given eggs can make something of them. Nevertheless I enjoy and respect food.
