I think it is time to honor the RFC that is the name giver for my site. So lean back and enjoy the RFC that was one of the April fools joke of 2001.
Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome,….
I greet everybody who stumbles across these pages. Finally this blog is online and I can start rambling, ranting, philosophizing or whatever comes to my mind. But what are the topics that you can expect here. Well, the name of this blog derives from the RFC 3092 which deals with the etymology of the word foo. So stay tuned for some posts about everything around foo. Also all kind of stuff out of the life of a software developer, system administrator and simply a German in the USA will be posted here.
So thanks for stepping by and if you have an interesting find about foo let me know.
Keep on hackin’
