This is what I do on my spare time!
Leisure activities
I'm one of the fortunate persons who have his hobbies as his major source of income. Since my biggest interest is PC's, networks and operating systems I'm quite satisfied to have them as my primary tasks at work... At home I'm constantly messing with the local network and some of my machines. I'm running a tasteful blend of different machines and operating systems. I'm certainly a geek, but I'm happy with it and my family can (so far) cope with it.
Computing
My favourites amongst operating systems are constantly changing but FreeBSD and NT4.0 is two bright shining stars. FreeBSD is my desktop-OS at home, but there is Windows Me and Windows XP as well.
Biking
Well, this isn't one of my "leasure"activities to be honest. I've been lucky enough to live close to my work. The last six years or so, I've riding by bike to work. In early 2000, I decided that my vife's old bike had reached the end of it's lifecycle. The frame broke for the second time, and I discovered that the welding-ponts were filled with small cracks. So I gathered a bit of information on the net and then I walked down to my nearest dealer and ordered a new Cresent Niak. I had some issues regarding the size of the frame and the factory had some productionsproblems so not until three months later the bike was delivered.
CP/M
I have always had an interest for older computer. I guess that is has its root back in the early eighties when computers were something that just barely had started to become accesible to ordinary people. I remember watching every computer ads back then. Drooling over facts like CPU, amount of RAM and different OS. One of my favourites back the where the famous Z80. I always wanted one of these fancy office-computer instead of the home-computer I had access to. Therefor, I alvays keep an eye open for surplus equipment and always investigate the possibilities to give old scrap a new home. As for today I have one CP/M-machine that really is something of a dream. It's one of the last manufactured machines, a JET-80. I don't think these models ever made it outside Sweden, despite it's nice figures. It's a 6MHz Z80, running CP/M 3.0 and has 64 Kb of RAM, two built-in 5.25"-drives in a really sleek chassie. The floppy interface supports both 5.25"- and 8"-drives. On top of that is a SASI-interface, a nice serial-network coupling and a parallel-port. Of course there is a terminal-port and a auxilary serial-port.
