about me


I'm Toralf.

Born in the 60s I grew up in East Germany. 1993 I made my graduate engineer in Electrical Engineering ("Technical Cybernetics and Automation Technology") at the University Rostock. Since 1998 I live in Hamburg, a great town.

I like reading news papers and books, watching TV, chocolate and swimming. At my birthday my wish is always the world peace but at least a good book and a nice happening with friends. My favourite writers are Ian Mortimer (mediƦvalist), Ulrich Ritzel (crime), Eugen Ruge and Ingo Schulze (novelists). Years ago I started visiting european capitols in my holidays. Tallinn and Kiev were planned to be too - for knwon reasons this plan is on hold for now. Germany itself is on my bucket list too, for sure. I run few dozen Tor relays, bridges and Snowflake proxies. And, I'm a Gentoo Linux developer.

profession

I describe myself as an "IT engineer" (my Xing profile).
