About

My name is Patrick Mylund Nielsen, and I’m a 20-year old technology craving, ski loving, piano playing, faintly red/green colorblind fellow from the Kingdom of Denmark, the happiest country on earth, home to the Jante Law, the late entertainer Victor Borge, renowned author Hans Christian Andersen, and Nobel Prize-winning physician Niels Bohr.

I currently live in Stockholm, Sweden where I work for a computer security company.

First Encounter

First Encounter

I am a geek. Computers have been an obsession of mine ever since I was little (see picture). I’ve always wanted to know how things work, and I’ve always liked the idea of being able to create something from nothing — I never thought of programming as a burden (unless I was tracking a memory leak), and I always found configuring a server or compiling the kernel of an operating system more enjoyable than playing table tennis or Stratego. My greatest passion, perhaps, is sharing what I’ve learned with others (granted they’re interested), and that is what I hope to do through this website.

I spend the majority of my spare time fiddling with various Projects, trying to stay up-to-date with my feed subscriptions which, admittedly, are more than a few too many, as well as ranting about whatever comes to my mind on the Blog.

Powered By

If you’re curious, the site is powered by Wordpress running on Apache with Nginx serving cached and static content (the vast majority of the load). All of this, as well as a couple of other server processes is running smoothly on a 256mb Slice from Slicehost (my referrer e-mail is patrick at this domain).
