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
Note: no notes [insert your favorite "Man At Work" picture here], search the LibO mailing lists to get an idea about what I'm working on ;-) or step by at my blog.
I ain't a twit tweeting on twitter. I make my dents at Identi.ca instead. Well, sometimes.
I do jabber at gabbler.de and jabber.org, you should be able to figure out my accounts' ID. See my OTR fingerprints for secure communication.
Usually I'm also on freenode's IRC, specifically the #libreoffice-dev 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.
