Hi folks!
I began loving computer since 1994, it was still the time of windows 3.1. Immediately I learned starting DOS games from the command promt, and while typing some white text on black background I felt like some hackish dude in a hollywoodian movie.
Later during the studies at the university, I discovered the magic world of opensource, and it was love at first sight. Finally I got rid of BSOD's =)
I love everything that is connected to some network, especially in a security perspective.
My motto is:
"With motivation, nothing is impossibile. It only requires more time."
