About

Hello there, you have found the internet home of me. I’m called V or Chris – whatever fits better.

This page contains my microblog (and blog), where I post small things happening in my life. I’m a software developer by day and a tinkerer by night.

You can find out some more details about me and my favorite past times in the following sections.

Book Reading

Reading books is a significant pastime for me. Some of my most liked books are Jumper, the Harry Potter series, The Wheel of Time, and A Song of Ice and Fire.

In the “Reading” section of this page, you find the current book I’m reading at the moment. And a list of past books I’ve read. As well as my reviews of them.

Listed here are links to my posts collecting the book reviews per year:

  • Books read in 2020 written on 31. December 2020
  • Books read in 2019 written on 31. December 2019
  • Books read in 2018 written on 31. December 2018

Programming Languages

The first programming language I used was QBasic before I was a teenager. This was followed by along page of HyperTalk in my HyperCard phase. Later I switched to RealBasic (I think that is now called XOJO). When I started my university career, I turned to Java. And today, I mostly use ObjC or Swift and a combination of Javascript with different Frameworks.

Making

I like to spend my time designing and building furniture. Or thinker with electronics.

To better document my project, I’ve started a Youtube Channel in 2018, where I upload my project’s videos. I also document them on my other page i-make.xyz.

Podcasts

I’m an avid listener of podcasts, some of my favorites are: Cortex, flashforwardpod, Ungeniused, ATP and The History of English Podcast.

Musicals

Musicals are an art form I like very much. But I did not manage to see so many in real life so far. It takes quite a while until they are performed here in Switzerland, and traveling to London to watch one is a bit too much ;-). I consume these mostly through Musical Movies, like “The Greatest Showman” or “Dreamgirls,” or listen to the soundtrack.

A list of the musicals I’ve written about:

  • written on 14. February 2021
  • Les Misérables written on 26. January 2020
  • Thoughts about the Book of Mormon Musical written on 23. December 2019
