My name is Sergio Oliva. This is my attempt to have presence in the web in the form of a 'home page'.
I guess there is no point on having a personal website if it doesn't say a thing about me, so here we go...
I'm a happy husband (that's something not everybody can say).
I'm my forty-something; while by no means athletic, I admit to being satisfied with my looks.
Father of three (am I entitled to feel as some kind of super hero?).
I live and work in Madrid, Spain.
Overall I can't complain, it's fairly good to be me.
This is surely not enough for you to get an idea about who am I. Well, as they say, tell me what are your hobbies and i'll tell you who you are.
I've had a good number of them. I'm the kind that gets hooked by almost anything that hides some mistery that can be unveiled with practice, study and improvement. Some of them have lasted along the years. Some other were just temporary. But all of these have been important for me at some point. No particular order.
- Aviation has been my deepest obsession ever. I'm so happy to be able to practice both the real deal (I have my ULM license) and simulation.
- Guitar; I have one electric and one acoustic guitar, but my skills went rusty long ago. Not that I've ever been really good at it, but I've enjoyed them for quite some time.
- Motorbikes; I had my first bike at the age of 10 or so. I've had nearly 20 different bikes until the birth of my first kid on 2010. That's roughly 35 years biking. And when I say biking, I mean most of that time I didn't even have a car. My bike was a way of life.
- I'm a qualified dog trainer. Got my trainer certificate working with Mara, my West Highland White Terrier. She did great. Rest in peace. I also have a Belgiand Shepperd, Judy. She's awesome. Both are.
- Archery; I used to have a compound bow and used to visit an archery club with friends quite often.
- Photography. Not only can I point and shoot with bow and arrow, I can do it with a reflex camera in full-manual mode and get the pic I want, the way I want. I currently own a Canon EOS 50D. I can then process my photographs to a good extent in Photoshop. I sometimes use this skill to paint liveries for flight simulators planes.
- Cockpit gaming; meaning that, besides flight simulation, I also play other games, but most if not all of them involve some kind of driving, piloting, sailing or whatever vehicle that can be virtually handled.
- Zen meditation; though I've only been relatively successful at it.
- Writing; they say a man has to do three things in life, and one of them is to write a book. I have attempted it more than twice, and I'm, still struggling. Blogging, journalling and other forms of writing have not really been much more successful for me. But hey, I'm still in my mid-forties and I still expect I can do it.
- A few more I'll be including... sometime.

You can reach me by e-mail. Just put my first and last name together and send it to Gmail. Same with my github nickname. Drop me a line any time!
Enough for a 'home page'. I'll include here a link pointing to some more content (when such content exist). I found that blogs don't work for me, so I'll post whatever content I feel like publishing, not necessarily fitting tags like blog, journal, gallery, etc...
Thanks for dropping by!
Sergio
