Some of my interests

The battle against Spyware
As you might have noticed my main interest is about computering in general, mostly issues about security, spyware and virus removal, protection and related software. Most of my homepage will have issues related to this interest, here I will only mention one of my passions. A lot of my sparetime I spend in my engagement to a danish spywarefighting team called TeamSpywarefri. I administrate and develope the forum in wich thousands of people have recived help getting rid of infections or advise about protection. The team started in 2003 with 4 members, today we are 15 supporters, and more than 13.000 members. The forum and the communication is in danish, but a lot of visitors comes from other countries because of the use of a tool called Hijackthis. The logfiles from Hijackthis are international and it's possible to guess which files have to be removed after a specific infection.

You can visit the website here and the forum here. Later I will write an article about the team and our work.

Philosophy and literature
I like to read and use my daily transport time from home to my work with a book, about ½ hour each way. At the moment I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig for the 3. time. This story is one of the best books ever written, you should read it. My next book will be Platons book Faidros, a dialog between Sokrates and Faidros about wisdom, love and "the proper speak", the importance of choosing the right words in a dialog. Beside philosophy I like to read psychology and about social studies in general. I also read some fiction, mostly detective storys and thrillers. Some of my favourite writers are: Fritjof Capra, Robert M Pirzig, Arthur Janov, Florinda Donner, Tor Nørretranders and many more.

Music and Movies
Both are very important in my life, I couldn't imagine a world without music and nice movies. I prefere to watch movies in the cinema, but I have to admit that video have made my visits more seldom in the local cinema. There's so much good music and I listen to most of the different genres, but just to mention a few bands this would be: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Suede, Sandmen and The Corrs. The genre I listen most would be plain Rock...

When it comes to movies it will too be very difficult to mention the absolute best, but these movies are all "Must see" and most them I have seen several times: The Cube 1 and 2, X-men 1 and 2, The Cider house rules, The Dreamers, Se7en, Matrix 1, 2 and 3, Moulin Rouge and ofcause the Starwars 1-6. I tried to make a list of actors, and for some reason the top 3 are all women, intelligent and goodlooking, I wonder why? :-) Well here they are; Nicole Kidman for her roles in Moulin Rouge, The Others and Panic Room. Juliette Lewis for her roles in Natural Born Killers, Romeo is Bleeding and From Dusk till Dawn. Natalie portmann for her roles in Leon and as Padmé in the Starwars movies.

If I get the time I will write a bit about my traveling and my time at the danish "Højskole", until now you'll have to do with this profile. If you have any questions feel free to ask, my emailadress I wrote earlier on this page. Keep cool out there, take care of the buggy bytes harasing the Internet......
