I was born in Stockholm, Sweden where I still have family, but I am also circulating between Vienna in Austria (where I also have family), Bulawayo in Zimbabwe, and Johannesburg in South Africa.

Professionally I work as elephant trainer, and my second profession is webdesign or rather programming in PHP. Those professions are pretty much the same, its input and output. Sometimes, in the case of the elephants, you just have to locate and remove the bugs and the scripts is running again.

I am active user and admin at the swedish wikipedia and my activities here on the english wikipedia are rather small. I sometimes step by to see that articles on the swedish wikipedia are properly interlinked, and I also actively follow some projects here, where I have a deeper engagement. Now and then I scan what is written about old swedish kings and other things written about medevial history, that helps me to be sure I have a life.

Since english is not my mother language, I have a tendency to make a remark on discussion pages when I find an error, rather than actually change things, I know it sounds stupid, but I feel more comfortable this way, since I always feel a little bit uncertain. Id be glad for any comment or question though.

On the other hand, I do speak and write english, as well as german, and of course, swedish and some of the other scandinavian languages. But I often write too fast, why my spelling is not perfect...
