About me

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 founded the Techies group together 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

. 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 currently 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.

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

I've worked as a IT-trainee and have many years of personal experience, one year of school, and two years of work experience.

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.
