### Personal
Hello, this is the page of [Joachim Nilsson](http://gnufans.org/joachim/). I'm a computer geek soon to turn "Dad" with a lot of diverse interests. This wiki page displays some of them.
I am employed as a embedded systems consultant for the Swedish company Aktiebolaget �ngpannef�reningen in V�ster�s. Roughly, "The Incorporated Steamboiling Association". As you might have guessed it's a very old consultant firm, stemming from 1896. Today we cover almost all engineering disciplines. See more on
### Hardcore stuff
I'm a bit involved in the GNU operating system, the Hurd. Having done some contractual work earlier on both on the VxWorks Wind kernel, Linux and eCos I got interested in micro kernels. Being a free software enthusiast I am now focusing my energy on GNU. More specifically, [[Mach/OskitMach]], a.k.a. OSKit-Mach.
Currently I work on adding new drivers to the OSKit, mostly network and ATA-100/133 drivers. Before that I updated the Linux drivers in the OSKit from 2.2.12 to 2.2.22. See progress at:
One of my goals is to get my SMP machine at home booting the Hurd. This is now impossible due to the ATA-100 controller which does not yet have support in GNUmach. The OSKit is also a bit of a show stopper since the SMP support it provides is very broken.
### HTML & friends
I am the local TWiki admin guy. When I volonteered to run the Hurd wiki web on I decided to create a suitable skin for it. The result is the [[TWiki/GnuSkinPlugin]]. See it in action on the [[Hurd/WebHome]] web. Other stuff I've done, and still working on, is this. The [[TWiki/TigerSkinPlugin]]. Actually, I'm only updating it and fixing it so it'll work with Mozilla more nicely -- lot of work remains since it's a complex skin.
