My non work interests. I’m a huge retro computing fan, and traveler.
Retro Computing
I’ve been emulating and restoring retro systems from the 80s as a long term passion.
- Apple II+. I have original hardware, and a massive collection of emulated disks.
- Classic Macintosh systems. Original SE/30 area hardware and emulated hard drives.
- Windows 95 era, Win 3.1. Dosbox. Win XP is still my alltime favoriate.
- PlayStation (PSX, PS2). Complete systems. Batocera rocks
This passion blends technology history with hands-on exploration.
Hobbies
Life Outside Work
Technology and Travel drive almost all my hobbies.
Homelab
I run a large homelab with self hosted solutions for storage (NextCloud), WordPress, Home Assistant and more.
Underlying paltforms are all built on Proxmox and TrueNAS.
Travel
I've been almost everywhere other than Antarctica. Hiking addict, including Kilimanjaro, Everest, Bhutan, Inca Trial, Patagonia, Dolomites. My favorite place on planet earth by far is Thailand, from the food to the beaches to the people.
Scuba Diving
I've been diving almost as many places as I've traveled. Highlights are definitely Galapagos, Fiji, Barrier Reef
