Who is Hebe?

The nick
The nick "Hebe" is something I chose back in 1995, when I took my first stumbling steps into this fabulous new world on the Internet.
Back then it was actually possible to have monopoly on a four letter username. It was rather coincidental that I ended up as Hebe, but the nick has stuck with me ever since. Some friends call me Hebe.
Hebe is the name of the goddess of youth in ancient Greek mythology. Hebe is also the name of a plant.
I prefer to be associated with the goddess.

Behind the nick
The girl behind the nick is me, Hilde (47). I'm a web designer/developer, project manager and a hobby photographer.
I work for the largest online news site in Norway, VG Nett. I have no formal training in computer work. I have my degree in political science, film theory and communications. But I'm a natural born geek, who's been dabbling with 'puters since I was a kiddo.
I'm an avid advocate of webstandards, and a magician with (x)html and CSS.
But most of all, I'm Cathrine's wife and the mother of Maren.
