Howdy!
Pleased to meet you! My name is Andreas and I'm a 22-year-old guy currently living in Malmö, Sweden.
Besides enjoying what most people do – such as hanging out with family and friends – I am quite the geek when it comes to computers, so it should come as no surprise that I work as a system developer.
Hobbies include developing small, mostly pointless projects, such as my MoNKey! game. I'm also into photography, and currently use a Canon EOS 450D. I usually upload my most interesting photos to my Flickr page.
If you for any reason want to get in touch with me, you can reach me at andreas@blixt.org.
Oh, and if you think all the Flickr updates in the list are annoying, you can filter them out by going to /tagged/-photo/.

Book worm
Wednesday, May 6th 2009 — Random Stuff — 10 comments
I've found myself reading a lot lately. The last few weeks I've read through four books of the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik and right now I'm reading Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke.
The Temeraire series is definitely worth reading if you're into fantasy. It's cleverly woven into the history of early 19th century England, with the main characters (a man and his dragon) time and time again getting entangled in big events of the war.
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is definitely an interesting book about the reinstatement of magic by two magicians in early 19th century England, having been in decline for two decades. It has a good and in-depth story, but it's almost too in-depth for my liking. That said, I don't regret reading it, it's an interesting take on magicians. You'd expect magicians to be learned know-it-alls, but the greatest magicians in this book have barely read a book and are borderline insane (or at least not very morally aligned!)
My next undertaking will be The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I've been meaning to read it for so long, so it's about time!

I've finally taken the time to rewrite my article about tabbed navigation! Be sure to read it! It's on my articles page.
The old article will still be available at its current address: http://tutorials.mezane.org/tabbed-navigation-using-css/
