Well, thanks to my dear friend Andr�� Obelink, I've been tagged and am now a participant in the blogsphere version of Tag. Jeff Pulver started this meme and now we're all in.

Reading my blog you probably noticed that I spend a huge portion of my time traveling around the world and seriously learning all about cooking and cuisine and restaurants and ... but here���s my ���Five Things You Didn���t Know About Me":

1. I live in Germany (in Bavaria or even more precisely in Franconia, THE place to be if you're a beer fan) but I don't like beer. I never did. I will be grateful my whole life to the person who invented a "Radler" (a mixture of beer and lemonade). This saved my life many times before ...
   
2. I have been drawing comics since I was four years old, but I never managed to decide what to do in my spare time ��� working on large-format paintings on canvas or working on the completion of a one hundred page comic book. Nevertheless I earned a lot of money in my teen age drawing popular comics and most of my friends own my personal comic remark..:-)
   
   
   
3. One thing that changed my life ��� CNET Networks, an indispensable source of knowledge about internet, profiled me as one of the most interesting- and influential-people shaping the digital world in year 1995... Bill Clinton too ���This award seriously changed my whole (short term) future and turned me into a addicted netizen and a dotcom guy.
   
   A few years later I was cured ... but this is another story. ;-)
   
4. Before becoming involved in the Windows world in late nineties, I spent years developing and debugging Unix software (AT&T, Unisys, SINIX, HPUX, AIX, Sun, etc.) and working on those systems as well... During my study at the University I was even responsible for our local computer center (CIP-Pool if you're German and this means something to you) equipped by Hewlett Packard with HPUX machines. I wrote several manuals on TeX/LaTeX and DVI and I felt in love with SGI workstations.
   
   I hate bourne shell and I love tc shell. I had a fortune in my login script and I produced a bus error core dump on a Unisys machine with my very own code. Strike! In my office there is a claim ���No RISC, no fun!��� ���
   
5. I grew up with a bunch of soccer players but I became a very passionate basketball player. I used to play in a team but an ankle injury destroyed my basketball dreams many years ago.

That���s it! Who to victimize next? :-)

I tag Redo, Neno, Frank, Kay and Nicki.
