Alex BuckyBit Covic’s Summary

41 year old IT-Duder, 30+ years silently monitoring the packets, College-drop out. No PhD, no papers written in the last 30 years.
NO reputation in IT-Business, OpenSource-Community, Linux-Kernel-Dev or other things you can think of. Still dedicated, when it comes to OSS, EFF, FSF, GNU, Software Architecture, History of Programming Languages, Security, Government and IT-Issues, Privacy, Protocols, Standards, Internet-Infrastructure, Research, etc, etc, aspiring member of IEEE and ACM, if I only could make myself pay the membership-fee's.

Alex BuckyBit Covic’s Education

• Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München

  none , Art, History, Philosophy , 1985 — 1990

  I also spent around 15 years regularly visiting the Technical Library of the Deutsche Museum (where Einstein was a fellow before the Nazis kicked him out) and the BSB (amongst the world largest libraries, with a huge collection of academic magazines). At the same time, I earned my living with low-income jobs, mostly in retail, while studying and socializing with my student-friends at night.Later on, I quit my job and lived unemployed for several years, traveling - even being homeless and having no legal papers.

  Activities and Societies:

  I graduated successfully with something called ("Mittlere Reife") at an absolutely insignificant german school before actually starting 20 years of studies on my own, outside the institutions. I was regularly visiting the libraries of the Ludwig Maximillian University and Technical University Munich (mentioned in Thomas Pynchon's" Gravity's Rainbow"), secretly attending some lectures at these two main universities, without being a student.
