[edit] About myself

Hi wikipedians!

My name's Thomas and I've used wikipedia for more than a year now. But as ideas as this one only prosper if everyone contributes I'm now going to try to do my part. I was born in de:Graz, the capital of the district of de:Styria in Austria and after spending three semesters abroad in Worthing (UK), fr:Pergain-Taillac (FR) and Munich (DE) I'm now back in Graz to complete my studies of de:Information Technology at the de:FH JOANNEUM, a university of applied sciences at my home town.

[edit] Basketball

After having played for the school team and other various youth teams since I was ten I'm now playing my fifth year in the styrian basketball league as a center for the team de:Union Körner.

[edit] Travelling

Since my youth I've been travelling around a lot in Europe, mainly to the Mediterranean and Scandinavia. I'm trying to spend each year at least four weeks abroad as I think that real understanding for other people and cultures is only possible if you've been there yourself.

[edit] Reading

I'm trying to read as much as possible, mainly classics and well known books, but no specific literary genre. If the original language of a book is german, english or french I'm reading this version, otherwise mainly english translations. Maybe I'm going to feature a list of books I've read as I always wanted to keep one for myself (same with films as I'm a little cineast).

[edit] Music

I'm listining to various sorts of music, but no techno, rap, funk or things like that. To my favorite groups I count The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, U2, Simon and Garfunkel and Wir sind Helden, a german pop group of the Neue Deutsche Welle.

[edit] Cyber Life

In my childhood I spent hours and hours playing a diverse range of computer games, but as I started university and spare time got shorter I limited my use of the computer to programming and reading. My main sources for information on the net are:

• Telepolis, a list of four to eight daily articles concerning everything that is going on world wide, mainly written in English
• ORF.at, Site the Austrian public TV station
• Nba.com, Official Site of the National Basketball Association
• Wikipedia.org, I love both the German and the English article of the day
• Leo Dictinary, the, in my view, best English-German dictionary on the planet
• imdb.com, if you want to know something about any film, that's the place to go.

[edit] Wikipedia

I want to use my knowledge and interests to contribute to the following topics on wikipedia:

• Sports, mainly Basketball
• Information Technology,e.g. Process management, Performance Monitoring or Research and Development
• Places I have been, if possible including pictures
• Music
• And maybe doing some English --> German translations

[edit] Contributions made

Maybe some day there will also be a list of my biggest contributions here

[edit] Contributions planned

• Hypermedia
• Lund
• Research and Development
• Flagge der Elfenbeinküste --> Anpassung der deutschen Version an die englische
• Valentino Rossi - deutsche Version bezüglich Daten und Objektivität überarbeiten
