Hi again!
This topic should be good for everyone who wants some closer look at “the grandmaster of PIC programming” TK. Here you can ask him all that stuff, what you normally wont do.
Hopefully he answers… his decision. ;D
So, here are my questions to TK:
-Are there some more photos of you?
-What are you working actually?
-Are you married/have children (beside your MB childs?)?
-If yes: How do you manage that!!!??? ;D
-Are there *BIG* plans for the future? (like a MBCC - Celebral Control)
TK, you’re an inspiration, so respect to your privacy but if you want to answer, I’d love to know too!
Steve.
There is a picture of TK “hidden” on the website 
Yeah, the one with the sequencer.
But aren’t there some more, perhaps?
Another question:
Do you have any other “normal” hobbies, TK?
hasn’t he appeared in a few movies as a stunt double for N.C.? ;)
A man of many talents
Are you really a machine instead of human?
Tk works so fast (and types fast too)!! ;D
I’m hoping that this doesn’t lead to a star cult and I’m still able to visit an exhibition without sunglasses 
Are there some more photos of you?
if you are interested - some pictures of me which have been made in former times can be found under http://avalon.mud.de (click on “Treffen”, search for “avatar”). However, I’m not a photogenic person
-What are you working actually?
Since 4 years I’m employed as Design & Verification Engineer for 16 and 32 bit microcontrollers (C16x and TriCore family) at Infineon Technologies. As I’m not working with ready-made silicons in my job, but mainly with simulation models which are implemented in VHDL or Verilog and which are running on a huge compute farm, the MIDIbox project is the perfect compensation for myself to gain my experiences with “reallife applications”. 
-Are you married/have children (beside your MB childs?)?
not yet
-Are there *BIG* plans for the future? (like a MBCC - Celebral Control)
the complete migration of all existing PIC16F projects to MIOS, the release of MIOS under http://www.sourceforge.net, some analog extensions for MIDIbox SID, getting inspired by your suggestions and picking out some interesting stuff for myself.
Do you have any other “normal” hobbies, TK?
Bicycling, rambling, traveling around the world
Are you really a machine instead of human?
I’m still a human
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Hello T!
There is a mistake!
http://www.sorceforge.net is a spam site!
Don’t visit them!
U mean http://www.sourceforge.net !

Cool, thnx TK. How old are you anyway?
Are you doing (other) RPGs (than MUD)?
Thnx again for your answers!
not a soldering iron in site!
How nice to know a little more about someone I hold such respect for
Thanks TK 
Age: 0x1e
Other RPGs: no. In fact I never played Avalon, I’m just only one of the administrators and programmers (but I’m not active anymore).
We started this MUD 1994. It was a great time, I learned a lot about the internet, object oriented programming, teamwork and topics like “find a bugfix as fast as possible so that the 3-head firedragon doesn’t eat up so much players during lunchtime” ;-))
Best Regards, Thorsten.
