About Me
I'm a German Expat, born in the Year of Woodstock (1969).
For most IT Jobs in Germany I'm already to old.
My skills in programming and web-design
Are "retro" - but that also has some advantages ....
Actually I belong to the so called "New Poor".
I can't afford the prices in Germany (esp. housing and energy).
So I took my savings andtravelled to the Balkans.
Actually I live in one of the southernBalkan States.
Life is more affordable here than in Central Europe.
I do Street- & Travel Photography for some years now.
Now I'm beginning to combine this with Blogging & Info.
Recently I started to publish my photos
On this Website andon my Twitter-Account.
About twenty years ago, in the early 2000's
I learned about Static Web Design with HTML & CSS
On an IT-Schooling (FAI) by theArbeitsamt Aachen.
I like Classic (Frontend) Web-Development
andFOS Software.
For all basic tasks on my computer
I useFree Software, which saves a lot of money.
I have growing collections of different categories
Of free, open source, public domain & creative commons material
In my Free Stuff Section
Generally:
On this Site I publishmy Photos
And what I find out
On my Journeys
And with my Recherches
In Articles, Books, Videos and the Web.
All Information is free.
Everyone is free to donate some coins or not.
I don't want to make lots of money with this.
I just try not to become homeless
when my savings are gone.
Because ....
Since I left Germany, I live off my Savings.
I'm unemployed and I don't get any social support
as long as I live outside of Germany.
So I also don't take away any money
from german tax-payers at the moment.
If I would return to Munich, I easily could get back my social support,
but it's almost impossible to get an appartment there
in the actual housing crisis.
So I still would have to live on the streets.
Thus ....
