This is my PRIVATE Homepage, on me and my interests. It is meant to
keep my friends and aquaintances informed about my whereabouts and
doings. This is NOT an official webpage for our pediatric practice or
for our diabetes-self-help computer mailbox project. The views and
opinions expressed here are totally private and this homepage is meant
to be totally private and uncommercial, as well. It is lightly composed
without much consideration and weighing and does not really reflect my
professional work.
Legal disclaimer: I am and cannot be responsible for content provided
on websites that I do not own nor administrate - even if there are
links on my pages pointing to these sites. I am and can only be
responsible for my own pages.
Where I live: Deggendorf
in Niederbayern, Germany. Deggendorf is situated in the
southeastern part of Germany on the highway between Regensburg and
Passau. A River Runs through it: The Danube.

scorpio).
Curriculum vitae:

of Regensburg (scholarships: Bayerisches Begabtenstipendiums and
Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes).
- I finished my studies in human medicine with the grade of
"Dr. med." at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg
(my fraternity: KdStV
Frankonia-Czernowitz
im CV zu
Erlangen).

Children and Adolescents, Erlangen from 1988 to 1999

as well as a "homoeopathy diploma" from the association of German
homoeopathic physicians DZhÄ

Special interests, training and scientif work during my time at the
University Hospital for Children and Adolescents, Erlangen

pediatric insulin pump therapy since 1989 - certificates as
diabetologist ("Diabetologe DDB in 1995, certificate "Diabetologie"

Medical uses of Computer-Mediated Communication:
- Projekt-D:
1996-1998 I directed a self-designed model project of the German
Ministry of Health to investigate the use of a Bulletin-Board-System
(BBS) as a self-help project for diabetic children and adolescents
- Metab-L: an
international mailinglist for professionals in the field of inborn
errors of metabolis. Metab-L has been active since 1995. This is
the respective entry in Wikipedia.
Scientfic papers and publications: the following page
shows most of my scientific papers until 1999.

Private Interests:
- Computer und computernets: I have been involved with and in love
with computers since about 1982. Having long been just love-sick with
these fascinating machines I spent my first real money I had earned in
student jobs for a Commodore C64 (CBM 64),
which I used for some programming exercises, some word processing
(Textomat) and lots and loads of compuzer games (Bard` s Tale,
many
Infocom und Magnetic Scrolls Adventures) and together with an
acoustic-coupler for my first contacts with computer-nets (which really
were BBSs and asynchronic BBS-associations like FIDO in those days). In
1988 I finally got a "IBM-compatible" computer, a Peacock 386/33,
which I named "daneel" after my favorite protagonist of Isaac
Asimov´s robot and foundation cycle.Daneel was really hotly
cherished, stayed with me for many years until 1999 (when in a frenzy
of moving I had to discard him and left him in a moldy cellar in a dark
and lonely place) and allowed me to do my first steps into the Usenet
and the Internet in 1991. Daneel is
unforgotten.
Today I mostly use Linux-boxes because of their stability, flexibility
and the Open-Source-idea. In my practice, though, there are also
computers running MS Windows98 (yes, the last Windows I liked because
it still does have a real MS-DOS), MS Windows 2000 and MS Windows
XP.
- Books: I own lots of
books and corresponding bookshelves (that regularly run out of space).
I catalogued them on my www.librarything.com-
account (I just love Librarything!). If you want to
give some new books to me, here is my
AMAZON-wishlist.
- Chess: I own a lot of chess books ans chess software (and some
chess computers) - and I play very seldom and not too well. Patzers win
against me on a regular basis. No talent, no discipline.
- Blogging: Every now and then - ask me for my blogging site :-)
- Photography: not too regular, either. Older photos of mine (until
mid-2007)are at Flickr - newer photos
om my weblog. I use digital cameras (Fuji F11, Sony DSC P120, Canon
Powershot G6) and I have a second Canon Powershot G6 (and a G3) which
was converted to the infrared spectrum for special purposes.
- Politics: 1984/85 as a student I was chairman of the Erlangen
group of the Christian-Democratic students association RCDS in
Erlangen.
Since then I have not been politically active. My political heroes: Ronald
Reagan and to some extent Franz-Josef
Strauss. As far as I can classify myself I am a German paleoconservative.
These days I am just frustrated by what is going on in politics
nationally and internationally, a bit disappointed, revolted and I keep
away from it.
- Motorbike: I have a driving licence, but no bike.
- Languages: I learnt Latin at school (7 years) and I have
forgotten almost anything about it. I studied English at school, loved
it, and retained some basic knowledge of it to this day. I started to
study Italian in 2008 and seriously plan to learn Spanish and French
within the next five years. At least I have a language-learning-log
now. Oh, all those wonderful good resolves...
- spiritual topics, although not hardly knowing enough yet

- I do not check my AOL-account too often these days. Unfortunately
it is not possible to arrange an automatic transferral of emails to my
aol-account to my well.com-address, which means that most of the email
to ChRenner@aol.com remains and is automatically deleted unnoticed and
unread.

the usage of which they went along with in their times): FIDO
