Else is a given name in Denmark (a variation of Elsa, I'm guessing). At university we had a professor with the surname True; so if he had a daughter, her name could've been Else True. We found that quite funny.
Else If would also be a possible name in Denmark.
But, according to Statistics Denmark[1], none of those combinations exists:
Women with the first name 'Else' 13,047 Men and women with the last name 'True' 166 No one has the name 'Else True'
Women with the first name 'Else' 13,047 Men and women with the last name 'If' 6 No one has the name 'Else If'

The Economist Intelligence Unit's latest Global Liveability Index names the world's top cities. We asked residents to share the everyday experiences that make their hometowns such exceptional places to live.

Nice. I've been using https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im for a while now. It would be great with a comparison.

Cool, I'm going to play with this. Looks like a well-written project, and I love this statement in the readme: "it started as a joke and then quickly got out of hand".

This looks great, will have to check it out. I've always been interested in computer graphics, I even wrote a ray tracer when studying for my master. It was based on the, then, brand new book "An Introduction to Ray Tracing" by Andrew S. Glassner et al. The book is now free to download: https://www.realtimerendering.com/blog/an-introduction-to-ra...

As a Dane, pikaday reads a little funny, because "pik" is a vulgar slang term for penis, equivalent to English words like dick or cock.

The "Mastering Emacs" is great. But, you don't need it to get started, instead check https://www.masteringemacs.org/reading-guide

In Denmark there's 4 weeks for the mother (right after giving birth) and then 24 weeks for the mother and their partner each, i.e., a total of 52 weeks. It's also possible to transfer weeks between the parents.
I've been dabbling with computers for many years and, unsurprisingly, I ended up working as a Software Developer and later as an IT consultant. I have a wide range of competencies and experiences in the field of computers and software development. Currently, I'm using those to develop infrastructure and solutions in the cloud, specifically AWS.
Besides computers, my main interests are beer tasting, cooking, reading books, traveling and watching movies/tv-shows (drama, comedy, sci-fi, action, fantasy).
