Hi Steemit! - Introducing @electrodrome

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hello everybody.

I am quite new to Steemit. Today you can read my first post after registering and waiting for a few days to confirm the account. I would like to briefly introduce myself to the community. I'm Andreas Potthoff, a software developer, server administrator, internet junkie and freelance journalist from Germany.

I'm still one of the 8-bit veterans, and in the early '80s had run a mailbox BBS (BulletinBoard System) on a C-64, where like-minded C-64 freaks had gathered. At that time, the C-64 was my favorite among the home computers and programmed it in BASIC and assembler, whereby it was also about copy protection and trainer for games :-)

Here is a list of computers I already had in the early '80s: Apple II Europlus (6502), Commodore VIC-20 (6502), Commodore C-64 (6510), Sinclair ZX Spectrum (Z80A), IBM PC XT (8088 / 80286), Commodore C128D (8502 / Z80A), Commodore Amiga 500 (68000), an Atari was not there.

In the 90s, I was connected to the Internet and created websites and administrated web servers, which I still do today.

Since my father (electrical engineer) had opened the world of electrical engineering and electronics, I also experimented with microcontrollers early on. Even today, I like to use microcontrollers and single-board computers for projects. So I am a small all-rounder who knows hardware and software.

Then, a few years ago, I came across cryptocurrencies and invested in some coins and I also do mining.

This is a small cross section of my background. Now I would like to publish articles about electronics, computers, technology and science in this community. I have noticed that there is also a big German community. Therefore, I will try to post my articles bilingually (German / English) and hope to reach a large group of people.

Hallo Zusammen.

Ich bin ziemlich neu bei Steemit. Heute könnt ihr meinen ersten Beitrag lesen, nachdem ich mich registriert und ein paar Tage auf die Bestätigung des Kontos gewartet habe. Hiermit möchte ich mich kurz der Community vorstellen. Ich bin Andreas Potthoff, ein Softwareentwickler, Server Administrator, Internet Junkie und freier Journalist aus Deutschland.

Ich gehöre noch zu den 8-bit Veteranen und hatte in den frühen 80er Jahren eine Mailbox - BBS (BulletinBoard System) auf einem C-64 betrieben, wo sich gleichgesinnte C-64 Freaks versammelt hatten. Der C-64 war für mich damals mein Favorit unter den Homecomputern und habe diesen in BASIC und Assembler programmiert, wobei es auch um Kopierschutz und Trainer für Spiele ging :-)

Hier eine Liste von Computern die ich bereits in den frühen 80er Jahren hatte: Apple II Europlus (6502), Commodore VIC-20 (6502), Commodore C-64 (6510), Sinclair ZX Spectrum (Z80A), IBM PC XT (8088/80286), Commodore C128D (8502/Z80A), Commodore Amiga 500 (68000), ein Atari war nicht dabei.

In den 90er Jahren bin dann mit dem Internet verbunden worden und habe Internetseiten erstellt und Webserver administriert, was ich auch heute noch mache.

Da mir mein Vater (Elektroingenieur) die Welt der Elektrotechnik und Eletronik eröffnet hatte, habe ich auch schon früh mit Mikrocontrollern experimentiert. Auch heute noch benutze ich gerne Mikrocontroller und Einplatinencomputer für Projekte. Ich bin also ein kleiner Allrounder der sich mit Hardware und Software auskennt.

Dann bin ich vor eingen Jahren auf Kryptowährungen gestoßen und habe in einige Münzen investiert und betreibe auch Mining.

Das ist ein kleiner Querschnitt aus meinem Hintergrund. Nun würde ich gerne in dieser Community Beiträge über Elektronik, Computer, Technik und Wissenschaft veröffentlichen. Ich habe festgestellt, dass es auch eine große deutsche Community gibt. Deshalb werde ich versuchen meine Artikel zweisprachig (Deutsch / Englisch) zu posten und hoffe damit eine große Gruppe von Personen zu erreichen.
