Txemi Jendrix is the alias of José Miguel González-Pinto Díaz. I live in Bilbao and I have two precious daughters called Olalla and Maria.
I started with computing in 1988, with a Sanyo computer (a 086) without a hard drive and a green phosphorous screen. Since then I have always used a computer to do my job. Nowadays I own an AMD 64 FX-6100 with 8 Gb of ram memory, one hard drive (1 Tb), a 23" screen with a resolution of 1680x1050 and I work with Ubuntu Mate 64 bits as operating system.
I work as a graphic designer and web designer form many years now. The info about web design is in its own section in the main menu.
