# 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.

While online, I usually go by the nickname "ngws" or variations thereof.


## 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 tiling, Emacs-like window mananger.  It has fewer features
than e.g. XMonad (another tiling wm), but it's simple and
understandable.  I don't even have to add a keybinding for running Emacs
-- it's already there!  [[https://stumpwm.github.io/][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`:

```
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
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 dead_diaeresis
keysym o = o O exclam dead_grave
keysym u = u U parenleft parenleft parenleft
keysym e = e E slash backslash slash backslash
keysym h = h H parenright parenright 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
```

I run these commands to properly enable it:
```
setxkbmap dk dvorak
setxkbmap -option ctrl:swapcaps
xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap
```

It works quite well.

Most of these I don't use actively.
