About me

If we haven't spoken before, don't bother adding me, because I won't accept.

I'm a hobby web designer and crave all things tech. I love blogging, helping and being creative. I'm proud to be a member of My Opera Community.

I have a tech related blog and I co-founded the Techies group with Anzah.

I make new custom blog designs every now and then. I've given them away to the community in the DrLaunch' Blog Designs group. I'm also working together with Southern Cross and Class10a1 to create a main source for custom blog designs.

I'm concerned about our environment. And I'm curious about how to protect our environment. I'm the founder of the Save our Planet group, which is a great place to learn about green living. But I'm not only serious, so I founded the lolcats group, where I can laugh when fellow community members post new pictures of cats with funny captions.

I like helping people get the most out of their Opera browser as well. I'm even developing tools to make StumbleUpon safer, easier and faster to use in Opera together with the My Opera StumbleUpon Team. I also like hanging out on IRC, eg. in the Opera support chat room.

I also like reading Nintendo news and hanging out with my friends over at N+. I'm one of the first 500 members, making me a Nintendo Plus Founder. With over 1,800 Members, N+ is a fast-growing and user-generated worldwide Nintendo Community powered by MyOpera.

I also like writing. And I'm working on a series called "Dr. Launch Spacelog", where a engineer and scientist from Qeba-9 is making exploration of space possible for his people. Although the series is on a hiatus due to studies.
The Dr. Launch name, the DrLaunch nickname and the Dr. Launch cartoon character seen as my avatar and profile picture are Copyright © 2006-2009 and a trademark of DrLaunch™. All rights reserved.

As you can see, I've been quite busy in the community. But that's because of all the great people here, inspiring me to give something back.

My work

At the moment I'm a computer engineering student.

My highest completed education is within IT service, after one year of IT at high school and two years as an IT-trainee.

I hope to expand my capabilities in the future. I hope to learn how to design websites and web applications based on XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and SQL.
