Welcome to CBK's Home Page

My name is Carsten B. Knudsen and this is my homepage at cyberspace.org. Currently, this is my only publicly accessible home page - partly because I'm lazy, and partly because the idea of banning graphics and other content-distracting stuff seemed appealing.

So, here's a couple of pointers to more info about me and my whereabouts (for whomever might care to look :-)

• Here should be a bit more prose about me and the people closest to me, but I still haven't gotten around to it...

• Here's a picture of me - for those who dare/care.

• Here's a link (in danish) to my kids' school, Friskolen i Hinnerup ("the Free School in Hinnerup"), a parent-driven and (partially) -funded school, based on the ideas of Freinet and N.F.S. Grundtvig, among others. This is where I spend a fair share of my spare time.

• Here's a few music links: Fender, Gibson, and Roland - I don't have a picture of my good ol' DX-7 mk.1, but there should have been a link to it as well :-)
    - April 2002: Oh yes, and not to forget: Marshall amps. I just recently bought a second-hand Valvestate 8080, and I think it goes quite well with my good old L6-s.
    - September 2004: I am now the happy owner of a Waldorf micro-Q synth module :))))) (among others). I cannot put a link to Waldorf GmbH here, as they went down this spring :( Very sad! I have heard a couple of these Waldorf thingies, and they produce fabulous sounds. If you're into electronica or just need a superb synth, get one while you can.
    - January 2005: Forget about Valvestates, "virtual tube" amps and the like! A couple of weeks ago, I sold the 8080, not because I disliked the sound, but mainly because I thought it was "buzzy" at low volumes and because it was such a big s***er to lug around. I then ran into a guy who was selling a Carvin X-60A all-tube amp at a modest price. What a difference! I tried it out in a music store where the guy was working, and hence I had the opportunity to compare it side-by-side against a couple of the smaller (and not-so-small) "virtual-whatever" amps that I had been considering. Oddly, they all suddenly sounded somewhat like an old transistor radio beside the Carvin... Need I say that I ended up bringing the X-60 home, and I am now a convinced tube-amp convert :) - Oh yeah, and this amp becomes my L6-s even better that the Valvestate did!
    - Btw., if you don't know the Gibson L6-s, have a look at Harmony-Central.com for the gory details or Here for a neat picture (not mine - found on Google) of the beast.
    - You should also have a look at one of my colleagues' Guitar building project - really neat!

• These are my current and former employers (and here are those that were even before that).

• I also have plans to set up an archive of the various little shell scripts and other pieces of Unix software I have written over time - it will probably fit neatly inside the webspace limits on Grex anyway. When and if it ever comes to life, I'll put a link to it here.

You may send mail to me addressed to cbk@cyberspace.org.

I will try to maintain this page on a somewhat regular basis / change this page without prior notice, but I will not introduce any graphic, audio, or CGI files on Grex, in compliance with the Grex policy (although I may at some point in time include references to such material located on other sites).

Thanx to Morten (aka. Mojo - <mojodk@cyberspace.org>) for leading my attention to the existence of Grex.
