News archive - very old stuff

I travelled a lot during this X-mas season: First to my girlfriend, then together with her to my parents, on the way paying a visit to some of her close friends. Travelling with me: a sore throat :-(
Nonetheless, we had a nice Christmas, and I got to see my former schoolmates on the 10-year reunion, which also took place.

After a long time, I have finally updated my website. The most important change in my life can be seen in the photo above: My wonderful girlfriend Yuko.

I am ingo@karkat.de. If my life was a game of Jeopardy! my seven dream categories would be:

• Software Engineering practices
• Commodore 64 and its historical home computer legends
• Monty Python, Woody Allen, Douglas Adams and more weird humor
• Particle and quantum physics, theory of relativity and cosmology
• How to have lots of money and vacation days and not let it affect your life in any way
• Computing - from the most concise vi shortcuts to the best MP3 encoding format
• Introversion - how to get along with few friends and no sex life

(This enumeration is inspired by Douglas Coupland's book Microserfs.)
