About
Hi and thanks for stopping by! My name is Roland and you have come to theblackzone.net, my personal place on the web.
This website is the umpteenth incarnation of my personal homepage, which has been around in one place or another since 1996. It is maintained just for fun and serves no particular purpose.
Every once in a while I blog about various topics, mainly technology, software, internet, productivity, scientific stuff or whatever else is currently on my mind.
At present I work as system administrator for a medium sized company. In my spare time I do some freelance software development (mainly C/C++, Python and Perl) and web design. As these activities suggest, I have a strong interest in computers and the internet. Of course these aren't my only interests, but they surely take most of my time.
I live in the South of Germany in the beautiful landscape of the Allgaeu, an area which is popular for vacations.
How to contact me
The preferred way to get in touch is by sending an email. My address is:
theblackzone@gmail.com
You may also be able to contact me on Google Talk/Jabber IM by this address. But since this requires my authorization it would be better sending an email beforehand anyway. Other ways to get in touch may also be requested by email.
About this site
This website is running on the foundations of the Habari weblog system, a relatively new, yet powerful blogging platform. I’ve chosen this platform because of its scalability and clean structure. Before that, I had used various other publishing platforms (mainly WordPress, but also a bunch of others).
Is there more to know?
Nothing I can currently think of ;-)
So, enjoy your stay!
