If my job, my family and my primary hobby (playing with and writing about tech) leave some time, I'm also a hobbyist writer of fiction (mostly Fantasy or SciFi). I'm a curious person who likes to go on adventures (both digital and in the real world) and trying out new things (which might be why I'm on Gemini, too!). ## Contact I run the domain __elderlinux.org__. Feel free to drop me a mail. The address is: mynick AT mydomain. No XMPP or other messengers currently. ## What I like * Playing with computers - i.e. discovering interesting new programs, optimizing my workflow, make systems be less aweful then they were before, ... (right, the occasional game, too. At least once in a while. Aww, ok, perhaps more like twice a year...). * Learning new things. My field of interest is far to broad for one life, so I'm usually left to choose between way to many things... * Reading. Reading fiction now and then is a luxury, but tech books or any kind of good articles can be great as well. * Heavy Metal (most sub-genres but not all) * Moments of silence and regeneration in nature * History in general and ancient civilisations in particular * (Civilized) discussions on "hot" topics - be it politics, religious belief systems, etc. * Open-minded people who understand that a holistic world-view has room for multiple contradicting truths. ## What I dislike * Extremists (people resorting to violence). I'm fine with radical positions and ideas. But there's a hard line which is not to cross. * Hypocrisy (nope, not the band). * Illogical thinking. * Completely unreflected positions... * Indifference towards the environment and carelessnes about the way "modern" society impacts our planet. ## What I hate I try not to. Hatred is a purely negative and devastating emotion. It's all-devouring, not only to the (possible) harm of the hated object but also to the corruption of the hating subject. Nothing constructive or positive can breed from hatred, ever. => gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/users/kraileth BACK TO MAIN INDEX
