Hobbies
This is a small collection of assorted blog-posts and links, grouped by category.
CS studies
Well, this isn’t really a hobby, but I do study Computer Science at RWTH Aachen University since the winter of ’05. Most of what I did has been categorized by Flo already, so I’ll just post the link here:
- List of typical courses for CS undergraduates at RWTH Aachen
- Infostudium.de, a german forum for people studying CS at RWTH Aachen
- Skriptesammlung Informatik, Skripte/Mitschriften/Prüfungsprotokolle für Grund/Hauptstudium Informatik an der RWTH.
- I work at the RWTH NOC, which is the Network Operation Center, as a HiWi.
Photography
I’m an avid photographer. I’ve been known as the guy with camera in his hand when I was still in school. After starting university my passion took a hit (not having a camera), but I recovered when I got a DSLR (Canon EOS 400D). Having tried many different solutions for hosting my photos online I decided on a two-step approach. Complete galleries (i.e. of events/trips) can be found on my own site at http://photos.heipei.net. Selected and annotated shots (sometimes without any context) are posted on my flickr-account. I release all my photos under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 license.
- My holiday in the US/Canada with Katrin, a few of my best photos were taken during this holiday.
- My photos have been used by people on their websites and in their blog-posts.
Development
I’ve done little development that is public.
- GitX, after finding a small bug in GitX I gradually became more and more involved in the development and am now contributing on a regular base. I feed the mailing-list with most of the stuff I’m up to. My personal GitX nightly can be found at http://avalon.hoffentlich.net/~heipei/tmp/gitx/, check the date to see how new it is.
- Github Commit Badge, a small JavaScript badge to display the latest Github-commit on your website.
Linux
I’ve been using Linux for at least 8 years and have to come to love everything about it. To that end I often blog about linux-related topics and have set aside a special page describing my terminal-setup. If you’re fed up with not having complete control over what your computer is doing you should consider running linux. It will make for a lifetime of discoveries and technically enlightening encounters, however corny that may sound ;)
