My name is Toni Andjelkovic, I am a Unix sysadmin and computer programmer. I was born in 1973 in Belgrade, Serbia (then Yugoslavia), but since 1991 I live in Vienna, Austria.
I have studied economics and computer science in Vienna, but dropped out of college after a few years, mainly because I could not afford to study any longer. Having had a reasonably successful career by local standards, and a quite happy marriage as well, I got into some mysterious and menacing troubles, which resulted in my divorce and unemployment lasting for several years, accompanied by eviction from home and a prolonged period of homelessness and supervised single room occupancy. I have been profoundly pauperized in the process, and lost everything that could not fit into a suitcase. I am on welfare (actually a kind of mandatory unemployment insurance) for years and have been alotted a state-owned apartment (Gemeindewohnung) recently. I have a minor daughter over which I have lost guardianship and which I am not allowed to meet.
Besides being a big fan of music (in accordance with the O'Jays: "I love music, any kind of music, just as long as it's groovy"), I am interested in history, medicine, mathematics, and linguistics. Philosophically and politically, I am inclined to materialism, anarchism, marxism, liberalism, skepticism, and the hippie, black power and free software movements.
Currently, I have a particular interest in accessible day-to-day chemistry. If the circumstances allow, I can contribute to articles about surfactants, disinfectants, plastics, cosmetics, food, and psychoactive drugs.
