Jörn Clausen

My name is Jörn Clausen. At the moment I work and live in Bielefeld, Germany. You can find old/outdated material, projects and random stuff in my blog (mostly German, with a few articles in English) and on my old university homepage.

I don't do social media, except posting some images on Instagram from time to time.

What about the "ö"?

My first name is written "Jörn", i.e. with an umlaut. As this is neither easy to read nor to type for many people outside of German-speaking countries, I often use the transliteration "Joern".

As a compensation for this year-long neglect, I have named this web site "The Ö-Files". Unfortunately, I had to drop the "ö" again for the domain name. Although I could have used "www.ö-files.de", this would have caused the same problems for people typing this address. And let's face it: The punycode transliteration would have looked even worse:

www.xn---files-vxa.de

And for what it's worth, my name is pronounced like "yearn"...
