jauu — just another unix user

Quote of the Decade:
"As we enjoy great advantages from inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously." — Benjamin Franklin

First of all, jauu is an abbreviation for Just Another Unix® User and is my - Hagen Paul Pfeifer - amount of space in the internet society. When I'm not wasting time with my GNU/Linux box, I usually doing something important like listen to DLF, engage for your privacy or concentrate to the real life (most important).

A good portion of my time is dedicated to network-programming, programming at general and the analyse of network-protocols and implementations. This is the principal reason why I study computer networking — a computer science study course.

I like programming languages which are clean and powerfull like C or implement well considered concepts like smalltalk or dylan. It's also fun to work with tricky and cute languages like perl or ruby. If you are looking for source code that I have written or contributed, ask the search engine cache of your choice (avoid google – promote manifoldness, try Clusty).

Explanatory Note On Privacy

Feel free and send me email, but note that I prefer encrypted emails! In a time where the authorities supervised the majority of the population to spurn the democracy and violate the privacy, this is one expression that there are beings out there which don't accept this practice! Damn, Goerg Orwell vision "1984" came true - only 20 years later and nobody realizes it. Welcome hypertext passenger to the brave new World.

How To Send Email

I receive approximately 500 emails a day, most of them on mailing lists (and of course: spam). I delete nearly 95% of my inbox - without reading them. This decision is based on the subject line, so if you want to write me an email, think about a help- and meaningful subject line.

Application Tweaks

I believe in the power of CLI (command line interface) - only CLI tools give me the ability of fine grained user control and the possibility to automate repeating tasks via scripting languages. I prefer a character-based interface to display information fast and clearly. I feel comfortable with the concept of small, high specialized tools. As a matter of course I adapt my tools for my habits. At dot-files you will find some of my dot files (vim, zsh, ...). Anyway: if you prefer a GUI - fine!
