About me
Hi! This is the personal homepage of Johannes Dorfner. I am studying Electrical Engineering and Information Technolgy at the Technical University Munich in Germany. Main interests: signal processing, machine learning, artificial intelligence. Besides that, I discovered the joys of microcontroller programming.
So it is no wonder that many of my hobbies are quite technical. I quite enjoy surfing the internet and keeping me up to date on new events. I am a frequent visitor of hydrogenaudio.org, an internet community for objective audio enthusiasts. I also have a steadily growing music collection I take care of. I plan to write about software and methods to properly manage music files on one’s computer.
Among my other hobbies: swimming, cycling, badminton, climbing (still beginner, but learning…); reading books, magazines and newspapers; visiting museums for modern art and discussing the artists’ geniality — or the lack of it; visiting museums for art, history, nature, technology and science; exploring Munich; cooking; chess; board games; dancing; photography.
What you can find on this page
At the top you can find the primary categories of this blog, which also represent its main purposes. I publish a new post once a week (every Wednesday morning, to be precise). The contents randomly iterate through the categories, which are:
- Audio is the category to post reviews to music releases which are available online for free. Another topic I plan — but did not so far, due to lack of a good concept for actual posts — to write more posts about foobar2000, the audio-player for Windows. It is technically years beyond all other software in this domain: flexible tagging, a fast database engine, powerful tagging capabilities and a flexible graphical user interface make it the Swiss Army Knife for managing and listening every audio archive.
- Picture has become my one and only place to upload my photos to. Until April 2009, I uploaded my pictures at a photostream on flickr or on my personal page on fotocommunity. Now this page houses a photo gallery based on the plugin NextGEN Gallery for WordPress.
- Text is the category with the most vague description: it features articles about topics inspired by philosophy, religion or science fiction. A recent idea: I use this category for “how-to” articles concerning computer usage.
I hope you find some of my posts interesting to read and enjoy the time you spend on my page! I appreciate that and would be glad to read your opinion in form of an email or a comment.
