* About Niels

I, Niels G. W. Serup, is the creator of metanohi.  I was born in 1992 and live
in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I study computer science at [[http://diku.dk/][DIKU]] where I am also part of the yearly student
revue [[http://dikurevy.dk/][DIKUrevy]] and the [[http://kantinen.org][Canteen association]], among other things.  Some videos
from the revue has been put up online at [[http://youtube.com/DIKUrevy]].

While online, I go by the nickname "ngws" (and a few others).


** Contact

I can be contacted at [[mailto:ngws@metanohi.name][ngws@metanohi.name]].  I also hang out as ngws in #diku on
irc.freenode.net.


** Things I use

*** Emacs

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

*** Firefox

Firefox is okay.  I use it with the Pentadactyl extension to make it more like
Emacs.

*** 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]].

*** Debian

I run Debian testing with only a small amount of proprietary software.  [[http://debian.org/][Get
Debian]].

*** Dvorak

I use the a modified variant of the Danish Dvorak keyboard layout.  This is my
"~/.Xmodmap":
#+BEGIN_SRC
keycode 108 = Mode_switch

keycode  34 = apostrophe acute quotedbl

keycode  21 = grave dead_caron dead_acute
keycode  35 = Tab equal backslash bar
keycode  36 = Return dead_diaeresis dead_grave
keycode  49 = section brokenbar paragraph dead_circumflex
keycode  10 = 1 exclam onesuperior exclamdown
keycode  11 = 2 EuroSign twosuperior ssharp
keycode  12 = 3 numbersign threesuperior sterling
keycode  13 = 4 dollar onequarter currency
keycode  14 = 5 percent onehalf U2030
keycode  15 = 6 ampersand threequarters idotless
keycode  16 = 7 slash division braceleft 
keycode  17 = 8 parenleft bracketleft eth
keycode  18 = 9 parenright bracketright ETH
keycode  19 = 0 equal braceright NoSymbol braceright

keysym a = a A at at at at
keysym o = o O exclam
keysym u = u U parenleft
keysym e = e E slash backslash slash backslash
keysym h = h H parenright
keysym t = t T asciitilde dead_tilde
keysym n = n N asterisk
keysym s = s S plus plusminus

keysym aring = aring Aring percent division
keysym comma = comma semicolon dollar
keysym period = period colon asciicircum dead_circumflex
keysym p = p P braceleft
keysym r = r R equal
keysym l = l L ampersand
keysym g = g G braceright
keysym c = c C numbersign

keysym q = q Q question
keysym k = k K bracketleft
keysym b = b B bracketright
keysym m = m M bar brokenbar
keysym j = j J Insert
#+END_SRC
My keyboard layout can be achieved by running
#+BEGIN_SRC
setxkbmap dk dvorak
setxkbmap -option ctrl:swapcaps
xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap
#+END_SRC
This works quite well.  In patterns such as
#+BEGIN_SRC
key(code|sym) x = a b c d
#+END_SRC
~a~ is entered if one presses -x-, ~b~ is entered if one presses -Shift+x-, ~c~
is entered if one presses -AltGr+x-, and ~d~ is entered if one presses
-Shift+AltGr+x-. ~man xmodmap~ gives more information.
