Who am I?
Cenobyte is a nickname I use since 1992, when I first entered the wonderful world of Internet. My real name is Mario van Ginneken, I was born in 1970 and I live in The Netherlands (near Breda) together with my wife Marion and our two cats Noeky and Nacho. During a working day, you can find me at my company: Comatherm BV.
As you can probably see, the all American Corvette sports car is one of my biggest passions. Check out the link Corvette to read all about it.
Besides Corvettes, I also like to play around with computers. There’s always a collection of machines around the house, ranging from old Amiga’s, a couple of Mac’s and some old PC’s. Since 2004 I became a real Apple fan. I’m using my iMac and Macbook mostly to visit and maintain some websites and the Heartbeat forum and Slotrace forum, write software with RealBasic, edit some video or listen to music from my large iTunes collection. The old PC's are for the development of my program Slot Race Manager. Check out the link Computers to read more.
Slot racing is also something I like to do very much. After playing around with several Scalextric layouts, I now have created my own track with wood! Working on Slot Race Manager and visiting the Slotrace forum is part of this hobby. Check out the Slot Racing link for more info.
Another passion is target shooting. My father and I started it together and at this moment we have a nice collection of firearms to use on the target range of our club, De Koningsschutters. I love it since you can relieve some stress with it and try to improve your aim at the same time. Since we have several different firearms, it’s different every time we go to the range.
Besides all that, I also love to collect and listen to music or watch a good (scifi, action, horror or comedy) movie or an episode of one of the many series I follow.
