Personal > WHOIS?
Who am I?

I'm Bruno Raeymaekers, 25 years old. My birthday is on December 14th, born in 1982.
You can find my curriculum vitae here [Dutch, PDF].


Keeping busy with...

- Girlfriend: love you honey!

- Computing: Just frolicing around a bit on the web, hugely addicted to World of Warcraft. I'm webmaster of this website, but also am responsible for the section of the Workgroup Light Pollution at the VVS website: have a look here. I also maintain the website of Prevention Light Pollution (Preventie Lichthinder) - here.

- Photography: I own a Canon PowerShot G5 digital camera, a Canon 350D, and a Canon Digital IXUS 70. You can find pics in the Photography section of this site.

- Music: A wide range of styles can catch my attention: going from rock, punk, pop, dance to trance and sometimes even house... bring it on! This choice of styles might seem to be quite conflicting, but hey, I like them. I'd have to say that trance is definitely my favourite... Once you've heard Skip Raiders ft. Jada with "Another Day", how can you not like trance?. Some of my favourite bands are Apoptygma Berzerk, Underworld, ... .

- Astronomy: I'm a volunteer at Public Observatory MIRA in Grimbergen, Belgium. I don't go there as much as I used to, but you might bump in to me there. Come and visit us! Sadly, living in a flat, I don't have the room or sky that would make me get my telescope out on a regular base.

To the right, a picture of my 8" f/6 Dobsonion Telescope (an Orion SkyQuest XT-8) in front of Public Observatory MIRA. Click for larger picture. An ideal instrument to explore the night sky: no alignment hassles, no annoying screws or bolts, just point and look!


Location

Belgium (you know, that country with Brussels in it ;-) ). More precisely:

Since July 2005 I live in Ghent with my girlfriend An.


Picture?

First row: Hmmm... on the left picture, I would be the guy on the right harassing the telescope... I think. Let this be a stern warning: an overdose wine can do strange things to people. Or: how to enjoy yourself at an astronomy camp in the Provence (Southern France) - September 2000.
The center picture was made at a Hawaii-party: rest assured that I don't normally wear Hawaii-t-shirts. And I have never struck one single chord on a guitar...
Second row: My girlfriend An, in close-up. And the second one is your faithful servant trying to be funny (cannon in front of Tower of London).
