* About Niels

Niels G. W. Serup is the creator of metanohi and [[/projects/mege/][mege]], metanohi's engine. He
was born in 1992 and lives in Denmark.

He studies datalogi (computer science) at the University of Copenhagen, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIKU][DIKU]].


** Contact

Niels can be contacted at [[mailto:ns@metanohi.name][ns@metanohi.name]].

** Software Niels uses

*** Emacs

Emacs is a nice text editor. [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Get it]].

Links: [[https://gitorious.org/nqpz-config/nqpz-config/blobs/raw/master/home/.emacs][my .emacs]] and [[https://gitorious.org/nqpz-config/nqpz-config/trees/master/home/.emacs.d][my .emacs.d]].

*** Conkeror

Conkeror is a nice webbrowser, somewhat similar in design to
Emacs. [[http://conkeror.org/][Get it]].

Links: [[https://gitorious.org/nqpz-config/nqpz-config/trees/master/home/.conkerorrc][My .conkerorrc]].

*** StumpWM

StumpWM is a nice tiling, Emacs-like window mananger. It has much fewer
features than e.g. XMonad (another tiling wm), but it's simple and
efficient. [[http://stumpwm.antidesktop.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl][Get it]].

Links: <@eval macros.titlelink('/writings/stumpwm')@>, [[https://gitorious.org/nqpz-config/nqpz-config/blobs/raw/master/home/.stumpwmrc][my .stumpwmrc]].

*** Trisquel

I run Trisquel, a fully free as in freedom operating system. [[http://trisquel.info][Get it]].

*** Unison

I use [[http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/index.html][Unison]] to synchronize files.

More and more people are beginning to rely on fancy stuff such as the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol)][internet]]
to synchronize their [[http://nxg.me.uk/note/2005/singular-data/][data]]. I don't. I can not be sure there is always fast
internet, and I cannot be sure that my data is secure, except if I spend time
encrypting it heavily.

When I am done using my desktop computer at the end of a day, I transfer files
from my desktop computer to my USB flash drive with Unison. Then I place my USB
flash drive in one of my left pockets and forget about it. The next day, when I
need to synchronize my files with my laptop, I remember putting my flash drive
in my lower left pocket. I pick it up and put it in my laptop, and then I run
Unison again.

It's fast, secure and durable (I often have poor or even none connection when
working on my laptop).


** Virtual existences

In order of randomness:

  + [[http://hongabar.org/profile/nqpz][My public friendica profile]]
  + [[http://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:NqpZ][Libreplanet]]
  + [[http://identi.ca/nqpz][Identi.ca]]
  + [[http://nqpz.filmaster.com/][Filmaster]]
  + [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:NqpZ][Wikipedia]]
  + [[https://savannah.gnu.org/users/nqpz][GNU Savannah]]
  + [[https://gitorious.org/~nqpz][Gitorious]]
  + [[http://openlibrary.org/people/nqpz][Open Library]]

  + [[https://launchpad.net/~nqpz][Launchpad]]
  + [[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/User:Schabeindividuum][Uncyclopedia]] (don't take this one seriously)

Also, don't use Facebook (or Facebook-/like/ social notworks). Both your data
and your account is in Facebook's virtual hands. You have way too little
control. Use Identi.ca, GNU SOCIAL, Diaspora, or something else instead.

*** I'm not on Facebook --- I'm on friendica!

Apparently someone else sharing my first name and my last name is on
Facebook. That's not me. I don't use PhageBook. I do, however, use [[http://friendica.com/][friendica]] on
[[http://hongabar.org/][Hongabar]].
