My old job at the infoware GmbH

Sorry, folks! I'm so busy with my work, that I even don't have the time to talk about it ;-)

Well, here's about the short version:

• Bosswrote fulltext-retrieval in about 1986 or so, published first CD-ROM ever in Germany.

• Co-worker (important, but no homepage :-) and I where hired to port this to C in 1992.

• Did that!

• Used that new library to simulate a GOLEM interface running on a BS2000 Siemens machine. Got it to work, and thus downsized the BS2000 to a 486.

• Started porting that retrieval over to UNIX.

• Got a first rudimental Client/Server version running about 1994.

• This guyis now responsible for the retrieval-lib

• Created some crude collection of scripts and utility programs using the retrieval library, to create a web-interface

• Started complete new product seriesfrom these about the beginning of 1995

• Doing enhancements, generalizations and OTOH customer-specific tailoring of this package all the time now.

• Primary UNIX-Sysadmin here, managing several Linux-boxes, a Sun Ultraa Siemens RM-200, and a UnixWaremachine.

• responsible for Internet-access, e-mail, DNS and all other network-relevant stuff.

• Consulting any- and everybody that comes in and asks just abouteverything that could come to mind.
