Hi,
I’m Philipp (フィリップ) from Germany. I’m a computer science student, currently studying, living and working in the beautiful city of Freiburg. During my study I built my own web hosting service which I run as a small company, did freelancer-style client-work like creating websites and designing and implementing data and voice networks for offices, and coded my own server management system called Pysk. I’ll live in Tokyo, Japan starting from September 2010.
My web hosting service and Pysk are the result of enjoying working with Linux since 1998 (this was the time of Kernel 2.0.35, Postfix was still unreleased and KDE just reached 1.0). They resemble all I have learned about server management in these years and I really put my heart and soul into it. I even trust my own data to them. 
You should, too.
Someday I figured out, that just working all day isn’t that good for oneself – so I decided to pick-up some hobbies. They are: Photography, drawing Manga, studying the Japanese language and culture, listening to music most of the day and implementing crazy overkill Voice-over-IP solutions in my appartment. I’m as serious and perfectionistic about my hobbies as I am about my work, so they are powered by some of the most geeky gadgets available:
- Computers: MacBook Pro 15,4″ Unibody (Late 2008)
- Screen: Dell 3007WFP-HC 30″ screen (I really like this one and will miss it in Japan)
- Drawing: Wacom Intuos 4 L and SketchBookPro
- Photography: Nikon D90, Adobe Lightroom 3 and Adobe Creative Suite 4
- Voice-over-IP: Patton SmartNode 4552, Siemens Gigaset S685IP
