I live in Bergen, Norway (60°23′44″N 5°19′02″E / 60.39548°N 5.31735°E / 60.39548; 5.31735), but was born and raised in Hammerfest, Northern Norway.

My interests are way too many to completely list here, but includes music, computing, photography, philosophy, genealogy and various sciences. I have been programming and used computers since 1982, PC since 1985, had some years with DOS and QNX after that and have been using Linux since 1995.

I'm pretty involved in the FOSS community, at the moment mostly as a Norwegian translator (Vim, Subversion and Skolelinux).

I'm also a part-time musician, have played the guitar since 1981, and have played semi-professionally since around 1990. Long-time photographer, started borrowing my stepfather's SLR when I was around eight years old, and have had it as a hobby since then.

My OpenPGP public key is available from http://www.sunbase.org/pubkey.asc if you want to communicate with me and keep Big Brother outside the conversation.
