Hello, world!

I enjoy using my experience to help others. That is why I am active at a number of other sites in the StackExchange network on topics that interest me.

I'm something of a Swiss army knife both professionally and in private, able to juggle a wild variety of things at once. I've worked in every kind of business that uses software. I'm also very good with tools, both IT and mechanic. Whether you need software design or assembling some IKEA furniture, I'm your man for the job. I'm generally soft-spoken but driven by clear principles.

I'm a twin, I've lived in five countries, I speak four languages fluently and two more embarrassingly. Also, being a father routinely develops my patience which is useful for moderating on StackExchange too.

To learn more about me, see my Google+ profile.

Jan 31	comment	How to clean a calcified bathtub outlet that I can't dismantle? Using a makeshift half-bowl is a neat idea! The overflow drain is somehow integrated into that thing but it looks like the filters are below the overflow threshold, so the idea could still work. I'll definitely try this!

May 30	comment	Would the “Nest” thermostat work outside US? Canada qualifies as other countries but that's it, as far as I can tell. The website explicitly says Europe not yet, anyway.

Mar 24	comment	What should I consider regarding LAN wiring before building a house? This looks like a great way to net-enable an existing house, but given the chance to do it right from the start, I wouldn't go this way.

Mar 21	comment	Home A/C Repair/Replacement quotes are very different. Which one to go with? Has freon not been illegal for ages? What country still allows freon systems to be used and even re-filled?!
