Since I sometimes get asked about my business cards (which were
composed using LateX),
here's an example source
file as well as how the final
result should look like. Probably not the best one could do, but
hopefully still useful to some. Comments welcome, of course. (Note
that I'm not affiliated with the OpenBSD project, neither does my
own business card contain its logo. I just choose Puffy for this example,
because I like the system quite a bit.)
Krav Maga
is an efficient technique of self-defense, developed by the late Imi Sde-Or in
Bratislava during the 1930ies to help the local Hebrew community defend
itself against the havoc caused by fascist and anti-Semitic
groups. Later, it evolved into the close combat system of the Israel Defense Forces. Apart from
that, it's probably the toughest and coolest workout I ever did. I'm a
practitioner of Krav Maga in Ralf Ulbig's Kampfkunst
Studio in Munich. Ralf is not
only the first German to become a Krav Maga expert by the standards of
the International Krav Maga
Federation (IKMF) and Director of the IKMF Germany, but also a Kung-Fu Master.
I'm a GNU Emacs
user and over the years, I've built up this emacs.el file (here's a screenshot of how
it looks). It's tailored for use with Mac OS X 10.4
Tiger, but some of its contents might actually be quite useful on
other (especially Unix-like) operating systems as well. Don't get
fooled by the hype about any other text editor... GNU Emacs has been
around for over 20 years and still rules the crowd. If you'd ask me
for a personal recommendation: Apart from compiling from source
yourself, the Carbon Emacs
package by Seiji
Zenitani is by far the best Emacs distribution for the Mac.
Although in the meantime, I am running most of my machines
on RedHat Linux
(and my PowerPook on OS
X), here's how
I installed Debian
GNU/Linux 2.2 (potato) on my old
Notebook, an Acer TravelMate 730TE. I am very proud that this Document
has been listed at Kenneth E. Harkers fabolous Linux-on-Laptops-Site.
Some rather
personal Impressions (german) of a study trip to the city of
Verona, Italy in which I participated in Summer 2000.
Not sure how to pronounce "Linux"? Here's an example of the
man who really should know...
