of old machines, good stories, and ideas worth keeping. Curious about computing, forgotten media, illustration, and practical philosophy. Do not modify.
I enjoy building small systems with a clear purpose. Whether it's a
Linux server, a static website, a game in
Godot or a simple MS-DOS shell, I'm more interested
in understanding how things work than collecting the latest technology. Most
of my projects begin as an excuse to learn something new and gradually evolve
into tools I use every day.
The process of building is often more rewarding than the finished project.
DOSReading has always been about more than finishing books. I'm interested in how stories are built, why they endure, and what they reveal about the people who tell them. I'm currently writing my first novel, Morgen Misschien, a story about people searching for the place where they truly belong.
Alongside novels, I enjoy manga, vintage comics and, while still patiently waiting for the next A Song of Ice and Fire, every now and then a well written instruction manual.
My interest in games began with MS-DOS and never really left me. Over the years it became a growing collection of retro consoles, computers and games. The Super Nintendo remains my favourite system, preferably connected to a CRT television. I enjoy collecting and preserving classic games and hardware, not only for nostalgia, but because they tell the story of how computing and game design evolved.
These days you'll also find me on XBOX, usually playing Street Fighter 6, provided my son isn't already using it.
Music has always been something I feel before I understand. A song often catches my attention through its rhythm, atmosphere or voice long before I start listening to the lyrics. My music collection ranges from country and blues to grunge and alternative rock, with Johnny Cash, Rattlesnake Milk and Faith No More never far away. While I still enjoy collecting the occasional record, most of my listening happens digitally. Some albums stay for a season, others quietly become lifelong companions.
