I'm 23 years old and I study informatics at the university of Lund. I'm currently working on my bachelor thesis on predicate logic in .Net.

When it comes to development I'm totally hooked on .Net, it is probably the most exiting platform to work on today, and I'm looking forward to its second incarnation in Longhorn.
