You are welcome!

Hi there, my name is Eike Rathke. Don't be afraid, I won't bother you with boring data of MeMySelfAndI, but if you are interested you may find it here. You won't even see pictures of my cats/dogs/fishes/rats/cockroaches simply because I don't have any pets. I'm lucky enough if my plants survive without having water until they remind me crying out loud.

I set this site up to share my experience and resources with interested people. Mainly it contains short notes about things I use or work on and

• hopefully some useful links.
• Software developers might be interested in the developer's bookmarks collection.
• Software users might prefer to visit the OpenOffice.org / StarOffice links.
• Everyone should use encryption, take a look at the GnuPG / PGP page.
• Last but not least my Debian GNU/Linux on ThinkPad T43p setup.

Note: no notes [insert your favorite "Man At Work" picture here], search the OOo mailing lists to get an idea about what I'm working on ;-) or see my OOo Wiki page or step by at my almost abandoned blog . Ein paar deutschsprachige Kapitel gibts auch.

I ain't a twit tweeting on twitter. I make a dent at Identi.ca instead. Well, sometimes.

I do jabber at jabber.cc and jabber.org, you should be able to figure out my accounts' ID.

Usually I'm also on freenode's IRC, specifically the #dev.openoffice.org channel, Mo-Fr daytime (CET/CEST) and sometimes during weekends.

If you are interested in some small utilities I wrote you may go to the download page. All free and with source code provided.
