I'm a programming, free software and linux enthusiast. I'm also a programmer professionally, so that works out well. I was born in the Netherlands, live in Belgium and work for a dutch company. I have been using linux since 2008, having settled on [Archlinux](http://archlinux.org) after trying [Ubuntu](http://ubuntu.com), [Fedora](http://fedoraproject.org) and [Zenwalk](http://zenwalk.org). I have been using [GNU Emacs](http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) since not long thereafter.
