About

Who am I?

My name is Werner Thie. Thie like tea? There are a million jokes out there waiting to be made with that name. Maybe write a blog post about it.

I work as an independent software developer now for more than fifty years. This number is still growing as I am seventy+ and have no idea of quitting.

What's on the menue?

Searching for a decent form to represent not only me but also allow my family to use the domain name I came to the conclusion that basically everything is a blog post. If tagged properly then it might be even found by someone out there. Therefore we're making up tags as we go relating to whatever we find helpful. You might find tags like nuriathie.com which lets you hop over to her website as well as project related stuff like LoRa referring to my sensor network for agriculture and precision farming. Or larger projects like my existence for the third half of my life in Hawai'i. You're getting it and I am possibly dead when the screen space used by tags gets too crowded for someone else to find a decent on screen representation for our doings.

The motivation?

Isn't it all about carving out a little space in the history of mankind not wanting to be forgotten? Having been almost killed by an aggressive cancer in the last fourty months I have a lot of thoughts revolving about the legacy of a human being. Just to make sure that we remember my dear wife Beatrice Born Thie (13.06.1959 - 19.03.2023) I'll write my first post about her.

The theme used for creating this site - Zolarwind

I'm very grateful to Thomas Weitzel the creator of the Zolarwind theme which showed me a few very neat things and possibilities buried deep down in Zola. His original work work can be found at https://www.getzola.org/themes/zolarwind/.
