Welcome to my blog!
Welcome to my little personal blog and homepage Micski’s Blog and Homepage, where I publish my notes, howtos and articles about system administration, photography and other interests in a read friendly and database driven format for myself and others to use and benefit from. If you have any questions or simply wish to get in touch with me, then feel free to contact me via email to . I greatly appreciate contributions, feedback, queries and personal messages.
The name Micski comes from the large chat network IRC, where it was my nickname in the good old days, when Internet was truly a social media. My real name is Mic and I live in Copenhagen. Copenhagen is the capital city of Denmark. Denmark is a country and is a part of Scandinavia and Europe. There are many interesting countries and cities in Europe, and they all have their specialities, but I love the history, nature, seasons, people, culture, peace and life here in Denmark.
A system administrator of information technology.
I studied electronics engineering at the university, then began my career in the information technology industry and now work as a system administrator of information technology for a private company. Over the years, I have specialized in administration of FreeBSD, UNIX and Linux based servers, desktop computers, networks and systems. This also means, that I primarily use open source software.
I have many years of experience from working with different clients, that range from small private businesses to large Internet service providers. I have developed customer relation and process management systems, recovered companies from devastating data loss and earned the highest awards in customer service. I am highly experienced in the FreeBSD and Ubuntu operating systems.
How about a nice game of poker or chess?
I do not get to play games as much as I would like to, but when I do, I enjoy a wide variety of games, that range from retro arcade video games, pinball machines, modern open-world action-adventure games, poker and chess. I particularly like poker and chess for their strategic decision-making game type, where the players anticipate the actions of their opponents and adjust strategies to gain an advantage.
I have played semi-professional poker for years in the past, when online poker and live poker was at its highest in popularity. I have tracked more than 3 million played hands over the years. Unlike poker, I am by no means more than a casual player, that studies the basic openings and truly enjoys a nice game of chess with a friend.
From speedboating to gravel bike cycling.
I have always wanted to keep a healthy mind and body through an ongoing study of personal development and practice of different sports. When I had to part ways with my speedboat, I wanted to combine the adventures from sailing with sports. The more recent gravel bike cycling caught my interest. It had the same technical preparations, development, route planning, adventures and social networking. Also, it has the perfect tires and build for riding through the woods, along the coastlines and in the suburbs of Copenhagen. I have practiced martial arts for many years in the past.
A passion for computers, audio systems and electronics.
I have a general passion for computers, high fidelity audio systems, electronics, technology, photography, classic cars, motorcycles and speedboats. I have operated many different kinds and models, which has resulted in amazing experiences and valuable friendships over the years.
