I work at the Norwegian NREN (national research and educational network), my card says "Internet engineer" (iirc), but at the end of the day "digital janitor" is probably a better description.

My work involves general sysadming of mostly Linux machines, but also too some degree *BSD, network "gear" from Cisco, Juniper, HP, Dell and whatever. In addition I'm involved in various projects such as eduroam (common wireless authentication across univs/schools of europe, and beyond), IPv6 deployment (services) and various other subjects.

Privatly, I play with Linux on various systems, mostly by using Gentoo/Portage. I run Gentoo on two A1200s and a Mac Quadra 910 and maintain the m68k binary packages for Gentoo. In addition to this I also ofcourse love to spending time with AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS. My love for amiga started when I as fresh student bought an A1200 to do "type writing" on, back in '94, thanks to a student computer club at the univ, I met other amigans and quickly also got involved with *ix and networking.

My classic amiga collection currently lacks A1000 and A2000B, A3000UX and A3000T, and I never bothered with A1s, pegasos or efika since I had the CSPPC to try out OS4 and MorphOS on. However, the new SAM440 flex is just the kind of system I've been waiting for, so... woohoo!

Other interests involve movies (not only "hollywood", but also european, asian, south american etc), music (focus on "electronica" and "world", I think), archery, playing games that involve hitting/kicking/throwing a ball (currently mostly volleyball), drinking beer, languages (slowly studying russian), going to concerts, knocking myself out on dancefloors, downhill skiing and skiblading, occational ski kiting, swimming, diving... :-)
