I’m Karl-Martin Skontorp and this is my homepage/blog. At daytime I work as a Software Engineer for a large Norwegian company in the maritime industry, at nighttime I’m interested in anything to do with computers and electronics. I’m also into amateur radio (callsign LA9PMA) and photography. I have a BSc. Hons. in Computer Science from University of Strathclyde in Glasgow as well as some post-graduate studies at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. I live just outside Tønsberg, a small city of roughly 40 000 inhabitants about 100km south of Oslo. Below I have listed my contact details, various IM handles and links to my profiles on other websites. Feel free to get in touch. And, by the way, I have a lovely cat named Hedy.

About the site
This website is a self-hosted instance of WordPress which runs on a virtual server in London, hosted by Linode. It runs with a pretty standard setup of the Ubuntu (server) distribution of Linux using the Apache web server. I’m running a slightly modified version of the default twentyeleven theme, mainly a reduction in the use of vertical whitespace.
About the domain name
The domain name is inspired by the 22 picofarad capacitors used in the crystal oscillator circuits in so many electronic designs utilizing a microcontroller. Anyone having used the PIC- or AVR-lines of controllers will be familiar with how common 22pF caps are around the crystal. And besides, it is very short and easy to type.
