Personal

So you want to learn more about me eh? I hope not because you’re not trying to hire me.

Alias

My standard alias/nickname in the Intarwebs is Db0, which stands for Divided by Zer0. I thought of it when I got tired of my old one, Historian, which was related to my surname.
I’ve been using Db0 since around 2002 and there is a high chance that if you’ve seen it in a site, it is indeed me.
The initial idea came from the old programming error, division by zero which resulted in an unrecoverable error when executed in a program whose compiler could not handle it, and usually and crashed it in the process. I later realized that division by zero results in infinite which was kinda neat.

In cases where I cannot use Db0 in a site (usually because of the brevity of it), I use dbzer0 which is as close as I can get. Db0 also has significant google juice and the most results are now about me. Search and see.

Name

Konstantine Thoukydidis (also, Kostas or Kostantinos, depending on whom you ask). I didn’t choose it, so I don’t have much to say about that.

Interests

A lot, or so I like to think.

I mainly play with ‘puters but I also do a little of music, reading, writing and firestaff spinning. I used to be a hardcore gamer in my younger days but lately I’ve seem to have lost interest. I’m still on with the right company so if you’re got a roleplaying group in Frankfurt missing a player, give me a call.

I am also a Geek (UberGeek as my colleagues like to call me…amateurs) and interested in all things Geeky. Star Wars, Fantasy, Free Software, Gadgets, you name it. Now and then I post something relative in my blog but not too often.

Found at

I tend to hang around Last.fm and Digg as well as read various blogs through aggregation. When the moods suits me, I tend to get involved in various things as I have done with Wesnoth, MAZA, Xenocide, Wikipedia, Lyriki etc.
I used to not get involved in social sites but I recently joined facebook and can be reached through there as well.

    So the problem isn’t the greedy fuckers, the problem is the arrogant fuckers who have been telling the rest of the world “my way or the highway” for the past 7 years. ’cause door number 2 is exactly what has happened. So long, uncle Sam, and thanks for all the fish.

    So yeah, America is fucked. (Great post btw)

    Things are not looking positive for the Microsoft shareholders.

    I can’t say I’m surprised as it was only a matter of time until the constand foot-shooting and shoddy work MS is known for, finally caught up with them.

    I’m only surprised they managed to last this long.

    Quoth Greg

    Ayn Rand is just Nietzche with a heaping help of asshole, arrogance, and selfishness thrown in. Do yourself a favor; skip Rand, read Nietzche.

    :D
