Niek Bergman

Hello there! You've somehow stumbled upon this website, so I might as well tell you something about myself.

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Niek Bergman, but a lot of people also know me online as niekie, and I'm from The Netherlands. You can reach me by e-mail on niek@niekie.com, and if you want to send me an instant message, I am reachable on niekie@jabber.org (this is not an e-mail address, but an XMPP address.)

If you want, you can also grab my GnuPG key.

I also have a weblog now.

Wondering how old I am? I'm currently 19 years old.

Hobbies

My main hobby is exploring technology, and I like stuff like Jabber®, which is also widely known as XMPP, and Linux®, and also am interested in playing with new technologies occasionally.

The GNU/Linux distribution of my choice is currently Ubuntu, which is a free distribution (free as well as in freedom as beer) that is and always will be free of charge, and has a desktop and server release cycle of 6 months.

I also have some stuff laying around on this website, which you're free to look through.

Call me

Feel free to call me over VoIP anytime. You can either dial sip:100@bergnetworks.com, or dial the access code to SIPBroker numbers on your VoIP provider, then *8795100 (note that GizmoProject does not require an access number, and *8795100 should be the correct number to dial)

If you send me an e-mail, I will also be notified of it by phone.

Also, you can send a message to my phone by entering a message below, which will be delivered to me by text to speech. Please note that these kind of messages are not re-sent if anything goes wrong, though, and if I'm on the phone or don't pick up or something else goes wrong, your message will not be delivered. Please don't abuse. Also don't use scripting to trigger this repeatedly unless I've allowed you to.

Chat with me

I'm mostly online on the BergNetworks IRC server, on irc.bergnetworks.com on port 6667, in the channel #bergnetworks under nick "niek" or sometimes "niekie".

You can also try on DynastyNET, on irc.dynastynet.net on the same port, in channel #dynasty

Of course, I also hang around on Jabber MUC rooms, for example niekie@conference.jabber.org or jabber@conference.jabber.org

You can ofcourse also add niekie@jabber.org to your roster, if you want.
