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 FreeBSD, system administration, photography and other interests of mine 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, before I began my career in the information technology industry, working my way up through the struggles and titles from student assistant to frontdesk supporter, backoffice supporter, incident manager and system administrator.
Over the years, I have specialized in system administration of FreeBSD, UNIX and Linux based servers, desktop computers, networks and systems. This also means, that I primarily use open source software. I am highly experienced in the FreeBSD and Ubuntu operating systems. I am a passionate FreeBSD enthusiast.
I have many years of experience from working with different clients and employers, 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 do by no means claim to be a know-all succesful billionaire. There is always much to learn and many projects to take on. I have the highest respect for the ever changing systems and software, that is developed and supported by communities of amazing people. And thus, I try to remain a humble student with lots to learn.
How about a nice game of 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 and strategic decisions-making games, such as 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 in an otherwise non-solved game.
I have played semi-professional poker for years in the past, when online poker and live poker was at its highest in popularity after the golden years of poker had caught the interest of Internet. I have tracked more than 3 million played hands over the years. In regards to chess, I am, unlike poker, by no means much more than a casual player, that simply studies some basic chess 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 fill the gap with something, that could combine the adventures from sailing with a more healthy sports activity. The more recent gravel bike cycling, with tires for the woods, parks and suburbs of Copenhagen, caught my interest. It had the same technical preparations, development, route planning, adventures and social networking.
I have a general passion for computers, high fidelity audio systems, electronics, technology, photography, classic cars, motorcycles, speedboats and taekwondo martial arts. I have operated many different kinds and models, which has resulted in amazing experiences and valuable friendships over the years.
