This time I’m trying to write something smarter. As I have just launched the new site design I should also change some content or at least add some better smarter more interesting text.
Let me try to describe myself in some words:
I’m Pipo. Some people call me Phil, some call me Philippo, and others do call me Flipps. At work they call me Fippi and if I meet some old friends from boy scout they still call me Fifi. But actually I’m not a dog.
I almost forgot my nicknames I had back in school: Iezzi got to Schletzi, later on I was called Schlitzi or Schlitz and at the end Schilz. So, right, Schilz = Iezzi. You got that? A lot of people just call me Iezzi. Iezzi actually is an Italian surname. Italian’s kitchen company Iezzi Cucine is somehow far related to us. But still, I do not speak any Italian. I am half American, my father’s from Philadelphia and I do speak German, French, English and a bit Spanish though.
Currently I am working on my diploma work at University of Zurich, UniZH. I was studying economics and computer sciences. Next to my studies I was always working part-time in the IT section of Credit Suisse Leasing. Actually I still do, but currently they don’t see me that much.
In summer you can see me down at Letten, swimming in Zurich’s lovely river, the Limmat. That place almost got my second home, at least during summertime. I do also love biking and am still proud of my strong full-suspension GT bike. Right, now you got it! The thing in the top-right corner of this site is my GT’s i-drive.
Finally, if I’m not swimming, not biking, not fooling around, I am coding. I love PHP and currently I am working hard on my opensource PHP framework for web-applications. This actually is also the topic of my diploma work. Soon I’m going to publish more about it. In the meantime, pls check phpee.com and get a webhosting package on onlime.ch.
