Aaargh, you must have misclicked somewhere; you really don't want to be here! But welcome anyway! :-) This is the hobby-site of Michai Ramakers, should you wonder.

Furthermore, I'll focus on content rather than eye candy - there's enough of that already. For example, I just spent 20 minutes googling for a pic to make this graveyard look a bit less like one, and in the end figured it wasn't worth it.
Instead I could have done this[2] and this[3] or even this[4], although neither one seems like much fun.

Thank you, Jari Tuominen[23], for the sheep
Of course you want to know why you are wasting your time with this nonsense - well here you go:
First, some facts:
- almost every place has internet access these days
- WWW is, imho, the public interface of internet and therefore seldomly blocked
- duplication of volatile information is bad
- my memory is bad
Therefore,...
- I need a personal, centralized, web-accessible information store.
Note that I have left out a few steps in my reasoning, but who's counting. :-)
The main purpose of this site is to have a quickly-editable web-scratchpad. My memory is rather bad; therefore my ultimate, yet humble goal is to eliminate as many barriers as possible for recording thoughts, ideas and nonsense onto a permanent medium (unlike my own memory) from almost anywhere in the world.
Compare this to the goal of e.g. world domination - mine's easier.
Consider this site to fall back on when you...
- are bored
- can't sleep
- have already done every possible other thing
- need inspiration
- need a good laugh
- want to boost your ego by looking at something you could have done better
- are me, and are actually using this site for what it's meant for
Apart from nonsense-content, there may actually be something of interest to you; the topics[25] may well be your best bet, since a LOT of stuff was lost during last disk crash.
I learned a lot from readily-available information on the internet, such as David Tait's PIC LED-flasher[26], forming an ideal primer for PIC-controller enthousiasts, from introductory text to schematics to 6-instruction asm-source to Intel hex-file. IMHO, There should be more stuff like this on the net - to the point, yet complete. Well done, David!

Q: why did you mention techy crap while I'm not AT ALL interested in that? A: just READ ON.
I am michai[27], basically.
| gender | male |
| age | 33, hmpf. |
| height | 192cm (depends on gravity) |
| mass | approx 100kg and increasing OMFG!!1 |
| width | still smaller than my height |
| sense of humour | installed, but comes with manual |
| mood | acceptable, unless early or hungry |
![[image]](http://michai.dyndns.org/pic/slowpoke.gif)
I like...
- pizza
- to sleep late
- to stay up late
- Li Choo (my female unit :-)
- to watch cartoons
- to do "computer stuff", in particular programming and toying with simple electronics
- some impressive buildings
- to walk every now and then
- Unix
- simple and elegant things
- X Windows System (which is not simple and perhaps not elegant, but ok)
- miserable and rough weather
![[image]](http://michai.dyndns.org/pic/dilbert_telekinesis.gif)
while I don't like...
- hot weather combined with physical activity
- overcrowded and screaming websites
- people who repeat themselves
- mindless marketing fuzzy wuzzy buzzword talk without meaning
- people who repeat themselves
- wine
- things escalating to rediculous proportions
- people speaking when there's nothing to be said
- small and irritating dogs
I hope that was useful.
Since 1.1.2007, I work for a small Dutch software company, and I am very happy there (not just sucking up!) My job there is, basically, programming. I have worked in some other places, mostly doing computer-related stuff, which is what I like. "Nerd", you say? scr3w j00.
The most social-related (side) jobs I ever had were...
- working in a small shop, which unfortunately no longer exists. Somehow I feel my qualities lie in working with inanimate objects instead of customers, but I had a good time there anyway.
- application support / helpdesk at a hospital. If anything, I learned to appreciate well-written documentation to avoid the need for answering the same question over and over again, and to be able to respond quickly and systematically to situations.
