From my childhood on I have already been interested in computers und during my life my hobby became profession. After belonging to the game playing Windows users in the first time, my interest for Linux awoke in the beginning of my studies. Nowadays I do not belong to the Linux amateurs anymore but I am also not a kernel hacker. Starting with computer assembly my skills extend over the setup of Windows-/Linux workstations and servers, the networking of (cluster) computers right up to programming in different languages. This is why many friends ask me for help in private if they have any problem with their computer - I am always willing to help.
To compensate my narrow computer relation I try to make as many sports as I can and to care as many social contacts as possible (no virtual ones). This seems to work pretty well, because friends do not ask me if they have any problem with their computer but also if they have problems on a personal level. My social relationships are therefore complex and of long continuance.
