Who am I? Good question...

frankps - me
First of all, thank you for reading my blog. I really hope you enjoy it just as much as I love writing it. In the beginning I was quite negative about starting to write a diary, but now I am constantly looking for something to write about. This is mainly a technology blog, but I also write about myself, my hobbies and holidays that I have been on.

I have been writing for IsComputerOn and I was the editor of TheQtopian (a newssite about the embedded operating system Qtopia from Trolltech). But I now mostly write on this blog. I urge you to subscribe my blog’s RSS feed. If you are interested in more news from me, I also blog in Norwegian at frankps.tumblr.com.

About me

My name is Frank Paul Silye (alias frankps), and I saw the light from a hospital lamp for the first time back in January 1974. My hometown is Flekkefjord, but I currently live in Oslo, Norway. I work as a senior computer engineer at Faculty of Humanities at the University of Oslo, managing the NABO group (network, applications, support and operating systems).

If you want to learn a bit more about me, please have a look at the link section, my LinkedIn profile, my Last.fm profile and the pictures in my portfolio (500px and Flickr). Just as much as I like doing photography, I like hiking in the mountains. It’s not often that I read books, but here is a few books that I have read.
