Hi, I'm Marcel Kapfer, also known as mmk2410. When I have time I invest it in creative work. As part of that I compose music (have a look at [[https://marcel-kapfer.de][marcel-kapfer.de]] for that), train myself in doing graphic design or write text as well as code.
Hi, I'm Marcel Kapfer, also known by my username "mmk2410". At the moment, I invest most of my available time in creative work. That consists mainly of photography, but I also compose music (have a look at [[https://marcel-kapfer.de][marcel-kapfer.de]] for that), train myself in graphic design, and write text as well as code.
These pages are (currently) focused on the computer-based parts of my life (like software development, operating systems and similar stuff).
Since about 2012 I am mainly using Linux (some times exclusively, although currently not).
In 2014 I started writing software and since around 2016/17 I live in Emacs and Org-Mode.
Currently I study computer science at the University of Ulm.
While this website is (mostly) focused on tech-related stuff (like software development, operating systems and similar stuff) and writing in general, I also maintain a website dedicated to [[https://marcelkapfer.photography][photography]] as well as [[https://marcel-kapfer.de][music composition]].
Besides these pages you can also find me at a few other places across the web.

In 2015 I expanded my knowledge by learning Bash, PHP, Python and a little bit of C.
I also released a few font apps for the Cyanogenmod Theme Engine and some bash scripts to make my (and maybe also your) life easier.
Rangitaki is another project that I started in February 2015.
It was a blogging engine without any database dependencies, written in PHP, which tries to be lightweight and extremely fast to start with and easy to use.

Following this passion I joined the Ulm University in October 2015 to studying computer science to further improve my knowledge in this area.
In April 2021 I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in the field of theoretical computer science.

Due to other activities in the recent years (and also the coming ones) I don't have much time (and currently also not much interested) in developing software.
I try to further maintain some relevant projects, but most of them have been archived.
At the moment, I work as a software developer at a small software agency in Ulm, Germany.
** Photography
I got my first camera back in 2007 when I was ten years old, and this was when I picked up photography as a hobby.
For some reason, taking pictures was always something that motivated me and so I brought my camera with me to many events, holidays and the like during the years.
About 2015/2016, my interest faded a bit, and I focused more on other things, completely forgetting about photography.
In late 2020 this drastically changed when someone gave me an old DLSR camera.
From day one, my passion for photography was back again, and I invested more time than ever.
A bit later, in January 2022, I started an online course to improve my skills further and bought a modern mirrorless camera.
That was also the time when I discovered the more "artsy" side of photography and started sharing my work on social networks like [[https://pixelfed.social/mmk2410][Pixelfed]], [[https://instagram.com/mmk2410][Instagram]], and [[https://vero.co/mmk2410][VERO]].
After a heavy focus on macro photography, I'm currently quite involved in street photography.
If you would like to see some pictures or learn more about that, please visit my [[https://marcelkapfer.photography][portfolio]].
** Graphic Design
I am a huge fan of eye pleasing works!
Therefore I started designing a few years ago, but I hadn't jet time to do any major public work.
As of now my experience narrows down to web design and a little bit of print design, but I currently expand my knowledge by taking online graphic design courses.

** Writing
To write about coding, politics, happenings in my life and also philosophy questions is something I'm interested in for years.
Sadly due to many  other tasks I wasn't able to write much things.

From time to time I have something I want to write about. Seldom I
also have the time to do so. In these rare occasions you will find a
blog post at this place.
There are always some ideas floating around in my head of things that I want to write.
Some fade away, and others I capture in my GTD system.
And on some rare occasions, I invest the time to move my thoughts from my brain into a nice blog post.
If you're asking, about what I write: I really can't tell. The most
things you can find here in the moment are about Linux, coding, and
similar stuff. But I won't promise that this wont change. We'll
see...
