This is the personal homepage of Anders Karlsson, by many called Pugo. On these web pages you may read more about me, watch photos I have taken from my travels or partys. Many of my photos come from musical events and festival, mostly focused around industrial music.
I am currently a fall-back-student finishing last parts of my thesis work. After about 5 years of work as a systems developer I 2 years ago found that I wanted to widen my knowledge and my horizon. I went back to the univiersity I left a bit early during the IT craze in the late 1990:s. It has been very fun and giving to study once again. This time I have had more base knowlege about the computer industry and it has been much easier to see the use of new knowlege. But all things come to an end and as I am almost finished it is once again time for me to find a job.
You can find more information about all this from the menu above.
Once again, welcome to my world!

One of my strange interests is my collection of old vintage computers and video games. I hope you visit my collection pages to see some of the machines I play and live with!
One important reason why I collect is nostalgia. When I was a young boy I one day got in contact with a Luxor ABC 80 computer at a local radio amateur club. I was astonished by the machine and started to read everything I could find about computers. Of course I wanted one of my own. My parents understood that I was seriously interested and strangely, at christmas time that year, they started to ask questions about the computers on the market. I remember when I visited the computer shops with my parents, wandering around among tables with different computer systems. There were many different types, and I was wanted them all! At christmas eve the moment I'd been waiting for was finally reality! I got my first home computer, an Oric-1 48K, and it was beautiful! I remember that for about a week I used to sit up in bed before falling asleep, just to assure me that it really was there!
Every time I find one of those machines that I read about in the computer magazines as young boy, or longed for at the computer shops, the same feeling as the one that christmas eve 1982 appears. Sometimes I even sit up in my bed to assure me that one of those old relics I've dragged home really is there!
