I'm very happy to join this self-regulated non-commercial community of yours. I bring a boatload of virtual baggage with me. The good the bad and the ugly. I will be sharing some it with you as I settle in. I have traveled my whole life being born in Germany and growing up in Europe until I was 17 then a long stint all over the U.S. and the Americas. I have been back in Germany for the last 1 1/2 years and am preparing to meet up with @luzcypher for a 6 month stay in Thailand.
I have many passions, to many to list here but riding motorcycles was one of them. Here I am on a friends WWII Zundapp.
My longest term passion has been computers. Having lived for a long time in Seattle, WA I got an early start. I had computers that ran on the CPM operating system, before Bill Gates came out with MS-DOS. DOS was actually a partial clone of CPM. To this day I spend a good chunk of my time in front of one. As of yesterday I just completed a Witness Server in collaboration with @luzcypher.
We are also putting together a different kind of travel blog called RealTimeThailand, currently on Facebook. We've got a number of projects in mind that we hope will benefit the community.
I look forward to meeting many of you and helping out with my large bag of experiences. Unil then keep up the HAPPY!
Any friend of Frank automatically becomes my friend, welcome to Steemit man!
You guys met at Steemfest last year. He's helping me become a witness. We are up and running under my username. I'll be doing an announcement post soon. See you in a few days, bro.
One of my Best Buddies. Happy to collaborate and travel with him.
Hey man, where do you live in Germany? Welcome to the community. Every friend of Frank is my friend. I like the idea of @luzcypher being witness! lets raise him some votes :)
You're the best and can't wait to see you at Steemfest! Woo Hoo! We're going to have so much fun.
oh yeah!!! What do you think of bowling? Wanna join my team?
I guess that's all there is to do in Krakow. OK, I'm in. At least it will be warm at the bowling alley. Hahahaha. Let's kick some ass!
Currently near Hamburg but in 10 days I'll be in Thailand with Frank. Can't wait to get warm again!
Hey @mikemeister. Good to see you on Steemit and to be partnering up with you to run a Steem witness node. I'm warning you up front, Steemit can get very addicting once you plug into the community, but also lots of fun. Keep up the HAPPY.

Howdy. I remember you. Frank will be announcing the new witness shortly. Give us a vote. I won't be in Poland but will be meeting Frank in Chiang Mai as soon as it's over. Hope to see you again sometime.
