Marius is 20 years old, student in the second year at Politehnica
|
|
Bucharest, Romania
|
|
and working as a web developer. Besides Linux, he also loves music (from
|
|
rock to dance), dancing, having fun, spending time with friends.
|
|
He is interested also in science in general (and that quantum spooky
|
|
connection :)

Part computer programmer, part cartoonist, part Mars Bar. At night, he runs
|
|
around in a pair of colorful tights fighting criminals. During the day... well,
|

he just runs around. He eats when he's hungry and sleeps when he's sleepy.

I'm a mad, sad geek with three dogs, a network and a cat living
|
|
on top of a mountain in a Welsh valley. So I'm a contradiction! All
|
|
that is good is either caffine, chocolate or Linux, so send me lots of
|
|
chocolate or just point me at more great stuff to run on a salvaged 486!
