Hi, I’m Marcel Kapfer (at some places also known as “mmk2410”). At the moment, I invest most of my free time in creative work. That consists mainly of photography, but I also compose music, train myself in graphic design, and write text as well as code.
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 photography as well one for music composition. The blog here, however, may contains posts about more or less everything.
Since about 2011/2012 I am mainly using Linux (sometimes exclusively, although currently not) and in 2014 I started writing software. In late 2016 I began using Emacs and Org-Mode and now more or less live inside it. After getting my bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of Ulm in 2021 I started working at a small software agency in Ulm, Germany.
Besides these pages, you can also find me at a few other places across the web.

Well, I already wrote a few days ago on Mastodon that I'm thinking of shutting down my "Scribbles" microblog and moving the articles I wrote there to this blog. And now I did it :D And not even three months after I started it and about two months after I defended the content separation. So, what …
