Peter Pentchev's little place on the net

Hi there! (or there, or there...)

My name is Peter Pentchev, and this is a trivial attempt at organizing at least a small part of the chaos raging through my mind and spreading out onto various webpages. There, you've been warned!

A little background info: born in the hot summer of '77, I'm a Bulgarian living in Sofia (the capital of Bulgaria). For the past couple of years I've been doing mostly various computer-related stuff, ranging from system administration of small-to-medium local-area networks and VPN's, through various support duties, to the part I enjoy most - actual programming in a wide spectrum of fields. Apart from that, there's been some meddling in music (piano, synthesizer playing), a lot of reading (and not just technical literature or sci-fi, honest!), and even some feeble attempts at poetry and music composition - but I think we've all been there at some point in time :)

At present I'm studying at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics of the Sofia University. This academic year I'll be among the lecturers for two electives read there: Network Security for the second year in a row, and Practical Perl Programming.

Here are some more clues to me ;)

• some programming projects of mine (and an RSS newsfeed);
• some photos (the comments are mostly in Bulgarian, and it also has an RSS newsfeed);
• I do some work on FreeBSD every now and then, mostly on the Ports Collection;
• the FreeBSD Bulgarian Documentation Project;
• a couple of patches to the FreeBSD source tree and ports collection that I've probably never gotten round to actually submitting to the FreeBSD Project :)
• a blog that I have started recently (and - you guessed it! - an RSS newsfeed :)

That's all, folks! You want to flame me, take your pick - try here or here! You might even encrypt your message using my PGP public key - not that it would make a difference as to the flame itself, but at least there might be one more person in the world who knows what Pretty Good Privacy is, and might even start using some implementation or other (say, GnuPG) some day... Well, I can hope, right?
