About me
I'm a Swedish speaking self-proclaimed amateur programmer (as opposed to self-proclaimed expert) and webmaster living in Finland. (You probably don't know this already but Swedish is an official language in Finland, but it's only spoken by ~5% of the population.) I also speak a little German, but it's even worse than my Finnish.
In my spare time I hack (according to a correct definition), and usually in my favourite language Python which is a general purpose interpreted language, like Perl but less ugly. I made this site with a relatively simple script (mkhtml), which does have several issues but good enough for my purposes.
Disclaimer: I do not claim to be a hacker and no one has ever called me a "hacker".
I'm undecalingual, but only four of the languages are spoken:
- Swedish
- If you somehow haven't noticed it already, I speak English.
- Finnish
- Very little German
- XML
- (X)HTML(5)
- Some CSS, but, if you somehow haven't noticed already, I don't do much fancy stuff with it.
- GNU/BSD Makefile
- Some POSIX Shell (
/bin/sh) - C, but it has a tendency to be an abbreviation for "crash".
- Python 2 and 3
Still not bored? Well, here's some of my history
I'm an entirely self-taught programmer. I started with writing some lame games in Basic (I was baysick at the time :). I'm quite sure I started with Basic, but the rest is a blur.
Then I learned some Intel x86-16 assembler and DOS interrupts. Around the same time I started learning C++, HTML and JavaScript, and I also started dual booting.
That was at 2011 or earlier, I think. And about a year later I switched over entirely to GNU/Linux.
Sometime before I started "monobooting", I began with C. I still wrote the silly games, but with much less success. (= If you are baysick, you will certainly be seasick if you go out on the open water.)
Then, on a summer break, I found The Art of unix Programming
and I have since been hacking in
Python
