Where to go from here
If you stumbled on this page by accident, you might have been looking for one of the pages in the box below. They tend to have more useful content.
- Schild en Vriend
- Web page of the Schild en Vriend miniature wargaming club. If you have no idea what miniature wargaming is, have a look at that page.
- Tiny Tin Men
- The wargames themed blog of a number of Belgian based wargamers, myself included. Technically a part of the above, but listed seperately because it has more personal content as well.
Who is Robartes
I'm a thirtysomething year old Belgian guy. I used to be married, and have two children (one girl and one boy) and a cat (a girl).
A large part of my life involves computers of some sort or other. I currently work as a Unix systems engineer, and have a history in Unix system administration and limited network administration. My life before computers revolved around chemistry, all the way up to a Ph.D., but these days there's not much chemistry (the molecule and atom kind) left in my life.
As to interests, you can put me firmly in the tweedy bookish camp (in fact, I think that in a previous life, I must have been a hobbit -- possibly Bilbo Baggins). If that does not mean anything to you, here's some of the stuff that interests me. Most of these will get their own pages soonish.
- Books, obviously. I read a lot, mostly mainstream fiction these days, though there's still a lot of SF/Fantasy featured on my reading list as well.
- Miniature Wargaming, or - toy soldiers for big boys.
- Music. I listen to a lot of music, in a wide variety of styles (I'm pretty eclectic musically, ranging from metal to classical, with most in between).
- Guitar. I used to play guitar back in my student days and have picked it up again lately. It still sounds awful, though.
