Deutsche Version That's me:

My name is Benedikt Hochstrasser; I am currently 44 years old and work as an IT Engineer for a partly-self-owned company, the Penta Group AG in Zurich, Switzerland.

If you want to know what the weather currently looks like here, then check out the Switch WebCam which is about 1 km from our house.

Part of my job includes tool programming which I do - whenever I can - in Delphi. Some by-products can be seen on my Delphi page.

One of my hobbies includes taking pictures using photographic equipment of various epochs; my oldest camera is an Agfa Billy (6x9 roll film) and the newest one is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC5. Check out my Photo Gallery.

A more recent pastime is my Clarinet. I never had one. Never missed one. Some day in late August 2005 I got one. Now I'd miss it. Badly.
