My name is Willem Jan Hengeveld, or as most people call me just 'willem'.
I am also known as 'itsme', the alias I started using on the rebelbox, utopia, paranoid's clinic
and several other hacker bbs's in the early 90s.
My physical characteristics are:
I am about 182 cm or 6 feet tall. My body temperature is somewhere between 36 and 37 degrees celcius.
I weigh about 90 kg, have sort of blue eyes, sort of blonde hair.
I live in delft, the netherlands.
together with my girlfriend sabine,
correction: with my wife, we got married 2006-05-05.
august 12th 2006 our son jan was born :)
I spend most of my time playing (I don't mean gaming) with computers, programming, and figuring out stuff. And fortunately people pay me to do this.
I am generally interested in how things work, people, technical stuff, the universe.
I usually go out in the weekends, meet friends at local bars, or parties.
I don't watch tv.
I speak dutch, english, german, and a little bit of french.
I usually go on holiday 2-3 times a year, snowboarding in the winter, unknown destinations at other times.
I've travelled to just about everywhere in europe, except finland, ireland, bosnia, macedonia, kroatia, russia and lithuania, cyprus, malta.
Currently actively working on xda-developers.com.
in delft I often hang out in wolbodo, and go to the koornbeurs every once in a while. ( if the waiting line at the door is not too long. )
I studied mathematics for a while. before becoming a full time programmer.
My father bart and mom still live in schoonhoven where I grew up. My sister Annechien lives in zoeterwoude with paul, (or maybe here) her husband, and my niece loes and nephew niels.
all my friends, acquaintances and relatives
I do not write down my opinions of all these people, some are very good friends, some vague acquaintances, some I have not seen in years. I think my personal relationship with people is constantly changing, and writing it down will just be a momentary reflection of my state of mind. and I will probably forget people too.
