A list of my hobbies and interests

Music. Various types of music, but especially progressive art rock (old Yes, Genesis-type of thing) and just plain rock. I am interested in computer music, MIDI, and other research related to that. (As part of my masters thesis I built a pitch detector VLSI IC based on autocorrelation function.) See also my top songs page

Computers and electronics. I am not sure whether I am a nerd, since I have a life. But I do like programming and try to learn as many computer languanges as I can. (eg. perl - my fav. language, C, C++, sh, php, java, ML, VHDL, Verilog, SDL, promela, and many more). In electronics, I did quite a bit of tinkering (ham radio stuff), but I don't have the time to play with hardware. When I was in Canada, I ran a UUCP public site to provide email and news feed for some BBS.

Reading. I'll read anything. But these days, I am reading technology and business topics. See my books.

Travelling. Well, I haven't done travelling with my family in a longest time. When we were in Canada, we used to travel everywhere. But now, we just go to Jakarta or Lembang.
