Emil Vikström

About me

I'm Emil Vikström, a computer and web fantast (most would call me a geek) from Sweden. I enjoy hacking code to analyze data or setting up new services, or to play with my computers at home. I usually run Debian GNU/Linux but have tried other operating systems as well.

Most of my days are spent on work however. Levonline web hosting is my employer, where I do support, technical maintenance and administration, coding, SEO and other interesting stuff. If you are in need for a dedicated server or VPS in Sweden, don't hesitate to contact Levonline.

I live in Upplands väsby outside Stockholm with my awesome girlfriend Linda. In our spare time we usually watch movies, play video games or plan our apartment.

Projects

I like to hack code, so of course I have some hobby projects. Here are some of my more developed ones (please note that I'm not a great designer):

EreFredag.se

The biggest "is it friday" site in Sweden, with enhanced font size and some interactive functionality.

UM-bilder and UM-projekt

Contains images, RSS feeds and more for the community Ungdomar.se. This is some small functionality I missed as a member on the site. The image archive is very popular.
