I'm a professor for medicine at the University of Applied Sciences in Ulm, teaching in the study course "Health Information Management". I'm a physician by training (specialized in microbiology, therefore well-acquainted with bugs and viruses of all kinds) who also likes to program. I started programming way back in my teens on the Atari 800XL and later on the Amiga 2000 (mostly in C), then stopped for a while after switching to PC/Windows, primarily because my studies didn't leave enough time.
I discovered Python a few years ago and was hooked immediately. Suddenly programming was fun again. Most of the stuff I've been writing has to do with data crunching, XML processing and so on. I picked up a little knowledge on regular expressions along the way, and that is the area I'm most active in here on StackOverflow.

Change default code page of Windows console to UTF-8 Then you or Ole should edit the answer to correct it. If someone doesn't read the fine print, he will get burned badly by this answer. |

How do I rename a file to .htaccess in Windows 7? FWIW, I didn't downvote this. But in my opinion, you should remove your answer because the other answer is much better: it doesn't just say "It's magic!" but explains why it works. And you were about a year late with yours. |
