About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I can be alone for a long time and I don't even notice. I enjoy not meeting people. However, meeting them is also fun, sometimes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hesitate to talk about teaching things, since for every single thing I do I know people who now are way better than it. However, if there was an opportunity, I could probably teach some programming stuff (from embedded and numerics to scripting and web programming, from methodology to everyday coding), some printmaking and other "artistic" techniques (at least the very basics), some nuclear engineering basics (general concepts, power plants, spent fuel management, neutronics). That should be enough.

Although I am really interested in photography (I use my Nikon FE-10 with 50/1.8 and I am not going to change that soon, although I might be getting a 24mm in near term as a companion on my walks), B&W with all the processing by hand, I am not sure that I would be able to teach. However, if someone is interested and has never tried, I can probably give an introduction on the subject.

I can share my passion for one's own home, language and country, my passion for deep contact with the land under your feet (which is in my opinion unable to be experienced from your car) and my fruitless yet neverending effort to be less selfish and more generous.

I hope to learn that there are different ways to live your life. Although I am trying to get rid of many of my standpoints, I am often too much locked up in my own views an ways. Show me how you do it and I'll try to understand that it's good.
