Around thirty years ago I saw a huge hall with an enormous 24-bit computer in it. From that moment I rarely did anything else than watching computers gradually gaining more understanding of how the things work – from soldering ISA cards and writing video card and printer BIOS to comprehending Windows systems. Since Microsoft is developing his products faster than I am able to properly learn them, the fun never seems to stop.
I like to share my knowledge with other people, which results in publishing book and articles, active participation in scientific conferences or just telling others what I think about the IT. It is hard to say why but since 1999 I am almost completely absorbed by the issues of IT security and currently employed by ISCG, which I greatly enjoy. From time to time I manage to take a break from the every day pressure and travel to some distant destination, however, finding a place without computers proves to be quite difficult.
