From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is my user page. My real name is Leif Biberg Kristensen. I'm now receiving
disability pension. Before that, I was a senior consultant at the IT department of the
Norwegian Labour and Welfare Organisation. My
avocation is a
genealogy
one-place study of my ancestors' home
parish of
Solum, Lower Telemark, Norway during the time before
1814. To facilitate this research, I've developed
Yggdrasil, my own genealogy
database application using
PostgreSQL and
PHP running on my
Gentoo
Linux workstation. I'm discussing the development of this application in
my Blog.
My interests are quite broad, ranging from
History in general, through
Ancient Greek literature,
History of science,
Philosophy,
Technology,
Computing, and diverse other very disparate themes which I don't care to mention in particular here.
