Hi! I'm Fador or as some people (rarely) call me, Marko Viitanen.
I'm located in Tampere, Finland.
I've had some "home servers" for over 10 years but just recently bought a real server in which I run a website of my own (and also mineserver.be).
I first started programming when I was something like 14 year old. My dad was on a C-course and had some material in Finnish so I started reading it and coding on my own. Something simple like text adventures
I didn't do much programming back in the days but like 5 years later I started to code again. And I also started with PHP and other languages like Java,Flash Actionscript and Javascript.
I'm employed and I also study in Tampere University of Technology. I study computer systems, not so much programming, hardware related stuff like VHDL only. Altough I've been taking more programming courses lately for fun
. I've earlier this year made my
Bachelor of Science thesis (some courses still missing!) and aiming for MSc degree. I been working for two years as a research assistant in a video compression related project where I do some C and VHDL coding. So I'm not so experienced in C++.
Age: 26
Other hobbies: Girlfriend is a hobby?
I started this mineserver project mostly because I needed some lightweight server for myself and I was sure I could do a better job than Notch
But for some reason other people got interested and here we are =D
