I am a German born in Hemer but now living in Aachen who has diploma in physics, but who is now working as a programmer, mostly using the Delphi programming language. Of course physics is one of my interests, especially Particle physics, cosmology and Astronomy and Astrophysics. One field connected with astronomy which fascinates me currently is calendar.
Other topics I like are Thailand (see also Thailand topics [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Recentchangeslinked&target=List_of_Thailand-related_topics)), Spaceflight (especially manned) - but also history, biology, geology, geography, even though I am really amateur in these topics.
I am showing all signs of a serious case of Wikipediholism. Recently I did a lot of small edits to fix interwiki links and spelling mistakes.

I started the WikiProject Thai provinces, thus most of the Provinces of Thailand are at least partially edited by myself.

How I got mentioned in the New York Times
Tired by the persistant vandalism of the George W. Bush article prior to election day, especially the sneaking in of "Vote Kerry" messages into the protected article, I wrote on the talk page: And hopefully once the elections are over this article won't be the prime vandalism target anymore. [2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk%3AGeorge_W._Bush&diff=7061597&oldid=7059650) I had no hidden meaning of that sentence in mind when I wrote it. This was apparently noticed by a New York Times editor, who then quoted me in a squib on weasel talking: about foreign admins: "One administrator, a German computer programmer, wrote.. [3] (http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2004-November/035803.html) [4] (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/10/arts/10wiki.html) (authorization required). Honestly, I didn't intend that sentence to say Hopefully after the election John Kerry will be the prime vandalism target - but it fits with my opinion that he'd have been the better choice. How could the NY times guy guess that a German would be no fan of GWB? :-)
