<p>My name is Benjamin Dumke-von der Ehe.

<p>I am <a href="https://social.balpha.de/@balpha" rel="nofollow noreferrer">@balpha@social.balpha.de</a> on the fediverse (Mastodon). My <a href="http://balpha.de/about/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">blog's &quot;about&quot; page</a> explains the origin of my user name.</p>
