Hello there, visitor.

I am Jasper Backer, some 21-year old geek from the Netherlands.

My 'geek' interests are Linux machines (desktop use / servers with preference of Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS), Virtualmin/Directadmin control panels, OpenVPN for road warriors and 'flat' filtered layer 2 VPN's, pfSense for NATting/ filtering / VPN's on x86 servers (or Alix boards when a high throughput isn't needed), all in production use.

I have decent knowledge using Windows (server) and Mac OS X, and when I don't immediately know how to fix something I am handy with the Google. I have some interest for electronics as well, and sometimes get my soldering iron out to fix something.

I also like being busy with music / sound: Live mixing for the audience (and monitoring for the musicians when it's not on a dedicated mixing table), Mixing tracks at home using my monitor speakers and Reaper with a few plugins, recording a band in a rehearsal room. I am a volunteer at two music stages.

I play fretless bass guitar, but not active in a band at the moment.
