Introduce yourself!

Post by **VilleK** » Thu May 14, 2009 7:53 am

Most forums have a thread like this so I figure it is time for us too. After all it feels like we got a nice little community here with both great teamwork and a friendly, helpful atmosphere so it makes sense to introduce yourself.

Feel absolutely no pressure on posting in this thread! I have full respect for people wanting to be anonymous on the internet.

Here goes a little about me:

Name: Ville Krumlinde
Born: 1971 in Stockholm
Home: Stockholm, Sweden
Occupation: Software developer (I write software for business applications)
Hobbies: Videogames, movies, music, concerts, literature, comics. You know, all the geek-culture stuff that software-developer types normally are into

Me looking unusually serious on a street in Slussen, Stockholm last winter:

Me i'm Jph (jeff) Wacheski

Born: Windsor, Ontario, Canada (cira 1970)

Occupation: Unemployed/Unemployable (awaiting the collapse/implosion of the current badly corrupted and destructive social order) I lov to debate this subject

for a bit of where I'm coming form read; [ http://www.thesanitycheck.com/BobsSanit ... fault.aspx ] The system is broken,. monitary reform is essential! i.e how money is created and what it represents (value or debt?)

Activites: gardening (permaculture advocate), working old analog/digital/electro-accustic sound generating devices in the pursute of experimental music creation, photography, mountan bikeing urban and off trail!, beer brewing and drinkin, tequila is my favorite spirit!,

I am a good cook and like to do so,. all styles from vegan, to bbq,. yummmmy. I love korean, and veitnamese food in resterants (i try, but they do it better and for reasonable price),. Pho and Kimchee!,

I took film making /documentary in university, and would lov to have the opportunity to make/work on a larger film. (subject likely what is below)

I am (when I get my site back up) going to start a new project to formalise my ideas and present a proposal to build/organise an artist community/eco village/learning center. The project's idea being to bring together a small group of reasonably like minded people to work to build an offgrid eco-village that will use permaculture techniques to produce food and shelter (i.e. strawbail/pasive solar/wind, etc.) while striveing to balance the eco-system and human needs/wants in a sustainable way.

This is to be an experiment in altentives to the current system,. for human organisation (being an anarchist/socialist[with a bit of lov for some capitalist priciples] I favor autonomus collectivism), food/energy production, work life balance, and a creative lifestyle not focused on war domination and greed.

How people are so easily mislead I do not know,.(i suspect lazyness, fear and greed) but presented alternatives perhaps they would choose the better way,. .

Well, there you have it,. just another revolutionary dreamer.

Hello - My name is Stephen H. France
That's the first confusion when meeting me because I'm Welsh, more than anything else. Some say that no one under thirty should be allowed to name children. Apparently my parents wanted to bring back ancient history. You be the judge.

Born Victoria BC Canada , 1949
Living in Canada's retirement capital - no, not Florida,USA - the Okanagan Valley BC

My working life could be characterized by what they called me in my Teamster persona - "Gypsy Trucker". To me, learning to be a "Jack of many trades" in different places kept a general laborers life interesting, so I had many diverse, albeit short, "careers" . This life was my lot as my youth was a constant series of new locals and schools, and I got lost academically.
On the bright side, the author of my nomadic youth left our family the accumulation of his single-minded attention, when he passed on, and allowing me to retire at 50.

And so I was freed to my own devices and have since taken my wandering ways to cyber space. So now, over 10 years later, I'm a jack of many softwares also.

These guys need me, as a translator. I love 'em all, but often they write in "nerd-speak", or from their own particular developed viewpoint. I try to convert this to a generally recognized form in my .chm project, that is, as soon as I understand it myself.:

-----------

just another revolutionary dreamer

- Well, I was an original '67 hippie. It was a time of a cultural split. "Mellow Yellow" vs Vietnam ( can you blame us? ).
I support the greening of Canada - I recycle. Go for it, JPH. Just watch you don't lose your way in the bad habits of likewise loonies.

(Made the intro in other post )

Born: Montevideo, Uruguay (1970)
Occupation: Information Security blah blah (booooooooring) at a broker company.
I live with my family (wife/sons).

I try to teach myself of every topic I like.
I love to play/compose music (study piano for a couple of years), but I get bored and I tried to get learning myself.

I love to play games, specially 3d vector ones or solid/old/flat polygons.
I love to program games, I have more ideas than time, so I doodle a lot.

I'm very happy and inspired with ZGE...

PS (See attached the reason of so little time to program)

Hey there,

it took some time, but here it goes: my real name is Philipp Dikmann, I was born 1983 in Germany and still live here, in the Ruhr Area. I literally just (2 days ago) finished my Diploma in graphic design :D Other interests are (computer game) programming (of course), electronics & electronic music and some other creative tidbits. Here's hoping I find more time to play with ZGE in the near future :)

Hey diki, congratulations on that diploma! Your webpage have got a bunch of cool projects in a interesting mix of styles. And you have already contributed much to the ZGE-community
