Akusius (Bujdosó Ákos) was born in Miskolc, Hungary in 1978, and has been a resident of the small industrial town Tiszaújváros (formerly Leninváros) since then. He finished the primary (Kazinczy Ferenc Általános Iskola) and the secondary (Eötvös József Gimnázium és Ipari Szakközépiskola) school there, then attended the Corvinus University of Budapest from 1996 to 2001, but has not graduated. He lives currently in Budapest.

He had many interests during the previous (almost) 40 years. He has been programming since his childhood on different platforms (Commodore BASIC, Turbo Pascal, 80x86 assembly, C, C++, C# (.NET), Java, HTML / JS / CSS). In his teens and twenties he was also involved in numerous industrial projects and got acquainted with various process control related standards and technologies (several PLCs and DCSs, Modbus, HART, LonWorks), as a helping member of his father's engineering office (sadly, his and his younger brother's mother died in 1990). The first Internet provider in Tiszaújváros was a small company run by the Bujdosó family, and he personally was (partly) responsible for the technical details of developing and operating the town-wide network. Having moved to the capital and begun to attend the University of Economics in 1996, his curiosity started to shift from industrial and technological matters to the subjects of the social sciences, and nowadays he is deeply interested in the modern and historical questions and problems of philosophy, psychology, sociology, politics and economics.

His favorite hobby is reading, especially (in Hungarian or German translations) Greek and Latin classics (Plutarch, Plato, Cicero, Horatius, Titus Livius, Suetonius, Pliny the Younger, Xenophon, Lucian, Aristophanes, etc.) and German literature from the 18th, 19th and early 20th century (Wieland, Schiller, Fichte, Heine, Thomas Mann, Rudolf Steiner, Stefan Zweig, Jacob Burckhardt, Robert Pöhlmann, Leopold Schmidt, Ferdinand Gregorovius, Theodor Mommsen, Eduard Meyer, Wilhelm von Christ, Martin Schanz, Friedrich Albert Lange, Eduard Zeller, Gustav von Schmoller, Karl Bücher, Friedrich Engels, Otto Henne am Rhyn, Johannes Scherr, Gustav Körting, Siegmund Günther, Ludwig Büchner, Karl Vorländer, Friedrich Paulsen, Wilhelm Wundt, Wilhelm Windelband, Georg Simmel, Max Weber, Friedrich Jodl, Max Nordau, Ludwig Stein, Egon Friedell, etc).

He is a frequent and grateful visitor of the Zeno.org, Projekt Gutenberg-DE and MEK digital libraries (reading the online books with the help of own Stylish style sheets and Greasemonkey scripts), and has also downloaded hundreds of books from the Google Books and Internet Archive sites (reading these documents mostly with STDU Viewer, after having manually remargined and repacked them as DjVu using the ScanKromsator and DjVuToy programs).

He has a great passion for Baroque music (Bach, Vivaldi, Händel, Corelli, Albinoni, Torelli, etc.), and has built a handpicked collection of more than 4000 Baroque tracks on Spotify (backed up, synchronized and managed by an own Java utility, using the official API client).

Presently, his main occupation is to construct, operate and promote this site, relying on the generous financial support of his brother (for the sake of clarity, his views on the content of this document have not been solicited). Thanks, Ádám!
