I often keep three computers occupied at the same time. I have a high degree of employer loyalty and personal integrity as demonstrated by my U.S. Navy career history and infrequent job moves. During that time, I developed a motto, "Everything can be improved" which stands in contrast to the motto of mediocrity: "If it isn't broken, don't fix it." I have salary expectations, depending on tasks and location, varying from $45,000 to $70,000 per year and I desire to be located reasonably close to a college or university for continuing education, particularly until such time as I have augmented my AACS degree with a BS or BA. I earned $55,000 per year at the Washington Navy Yard as a WAN/LAN Network Administrator (Banyan, Novell, Appletalk) and TCP/IP Domain administrator and customer engineer. The clickable photographs at left are from this period of employment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary Data processing and programming since 9th grade (1969). Experience includes a wide variety of hardware, operating systems, and applications; mainframe and microcomputer based. My 22 year Navy career emphasised real-time, tactical systems where speed, correctness, intuitiveness (less need for operator training) and data communications are important requirements. Additionally, I provided superior service at deploying, remote stations where personal responsibility and initiative are crucial character traits. I excel at rapidly aquiring new computer skills and programming languages. I possess an excellent understanding of computer hardware and very good understanding of data communications protocols. I write computer programs as needed to accomplish specific tasks, usually related to network monitoring, data gathering and analysis, or communications. Concurrently with the above, I developed and maintained excellence in photography and technical writing, eventually having photographs marketed by Aperture Photobank in Seattle, which is now a division of Tony Stone Agency and producing brochures and World Wide Web pages on a variety of topics. I published the nonprofit Stereoscopy Magazine from 1995 through 1997 which is the journal for the International Stereoscopic Union. I possess commercial and amateur FCC radio licenses and utilize a variety of electronic and communications test equipment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reason for leaving most recent jobs: I survived the demise of two Internet Service Providers and continue to provide the same types of services to one of the customers of those ISP's. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Certifications and Skill Summary: (Skills are also organized into themes in the sections following) * Certified Novell Administrator (CNA).

Professional Courses taken during my Navy career: The following list is a catalog of Navy or Air Force issued certificates I have on file. Inasmuch as they are all scanned onto CD-ROM (Paper originals still available of course) the date of the certificate forms the filename. Course duration and catalog numbers are shown where available. Clicking on the link will display an image of the certificate. * E20SR4925-000/001 WIS WORKSTATION (UNIX) ORIENTATION An operator level course for using the Apple MacIntosh IIcx, running Apple UNIX with military C2 security features. * NAVY RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES WORKSHOP An annual 8-hour seminar reviewing current law regarding Equal Opportunity and Grievance procedures; with recent emphasis on sexual harassment. Prior years dealt primarily with race relations. * E10SC4925-060 WWMCCS ADP (UNIX) ADMINISTRATION Curriculum teaches Apple's UNIX operating on a militarized Apple MacIntosh IIcx using C2 security features and the TCB (Trusted Computer Base). * Chief Petty Officer Indoctrination Course. This is a week long series of lectures giving new chiefs (middle managers) experience in decision making processes, human relations, scheduling and reporting strategies, discipline. * Joint C2 Element Procedures & Message Text Formatting Not very practical in the civilian world (C2 means "Command and Control"), but this one pertains on how to write a "formatted" message (special fields for everything, and only certain entries can be made therein). * J-2G-0905 * A-500-0034 Leadership & Management Training (2-week version) Memorandum explaining the college credit potential of this certificate. * E10SC5135E-004, P9U, GCOS (General Comprehensive Operating System) Analysis, 20 days, 6 hours contact time per day. Extremely intense curriculum includes learning the theory and practice of the Honeywell Mainframe approach to multiprocessing and multitasking using state tables and threaded lists of queues. Included study of dispatcher algorithms, interrupt processing, and deadlock avoidance through synchronization commands and locks. Included intensive kernel fault analysis practice. * E10SC5135E-005, TUG, Time Sharing Analysis. 10 days of 6-contact-hours per day. Curriculum is an intense assembly-language level study of the Honeywell Mainframe Time Sharing Subsystem, including the system libraries (source code), dispatcher, and mechanisms for creating and running privileged commands from a terminal. My practice project was a console emulator that could enter operator console commands from a video terminal; by stuffing the text directly into the console queue as though the operator had entered the commands. To enable this, I patched the system library "enter master mode" MME trap instruction to permit applications executing under the Time Sharing process and operating from a designated terminal to hook into and become a part of the privileged Time Sharing Subsystem (and inheriting the base address of TSS) and then subsequently causing Time Sharing to enter master mode (supervisor mode), find and make a queue entry into the console input buffer. The hidden complexity is that all programs normally run in "slave mode" where every program starts at a zero base address. But when changing to a privileged mode, suddenly the addresses are very large, as the program can now see memory above and below itself, so the code must be "floatable" (no absolute addresses anywhere, except to reach into the bottom most system tables which have pointers to all other queues and system tables). * E10SC5135E-006 VKE, FMS (File Management System) Analysis . 5 days. Studied the procedures, function calls, tables and queues of the file management system of GCOS (Honeywell's mainframe operating system). * American Preparatory Institute "Technical Writing" 45 hours * E40ST5135A-012, UPG, Extended Instruction Set, 8 days. Curriculum is instruction and practice in the Honeywell DPS 8 Processor Extended Instruction Set, which is a hardware implemented set of macros; quite remarkable actually -- you can do 63 digit BCD arithmetic with a 3-word instruction. * E40ST5135A-020, TB1, General Macro Assembler Programming 136 hours. As is frequently the case, the Navy did not send me to this until I had self-taught and demonstrated proficiency in mainframe assembly language programming. It became my favorite for a number of years; as I was able to consistently show greater programming flexibility, spectacular speed enhancements and much smaller programs as compared to COBOL. One demonstration program was a small glossary text database; a person needing to understand a word would simply type "gloss xxxx" (where xxxx is the unknown acronym). The COBOL program that had been produced by the official programmers took 30 seconds to search out a word and was 35 kilowords in length. I did the same task in GMAP in only 3K words and it performed the search in only 3 seconds. Not only that, the load map had only one entry -- my program; whereas the official program had hundreds of link-at-loading system library functions. Consequently, the time to load and execute the GMAP program was negligible, a tiny fraction of a second -- copy from disk to memory and jump to the beginning. * E40ST5135A-011, TOM, WWMCCS Intercomputer Network Programming & System Analysis, 40 hours. A sockets-based telecommunications architecture and application suite somewhat like TCP/IP but using proprietary transport protocols. * E10SC5135C-011, 1RF, WWMCCS Hardware Configuration, 5 days. Understanding the various peripheral devices associated with the Honeywell 6060 Processor (which later became known as DPS 8). The overall architecture was flexible and used main memory as the heart; all devices (including processor cabinets) were peripheral devices of the main memory, which was interleaved and dual-ported (I/O could take place concurrently with processing). I/O was handled entirely by I/O processors (the main processors were not involved with I/O at all; but only set up "mailboxes" containing buffer locations and sizes and what the I/O processors were supposed to do with it). * Leadership & Management Training (3 day version) * Cleveland Institute of Electronics Diploma. Led to my First Class FCC Radiotelephone License (a grueling test lasting about 3 hours). A correspondence course in electronics, probably 1st year college level but quite comprehensive, which included assembling a 25 inch transistorized Heathkit color TV (at the time, the biggest and best that money could buy; it had a rollout drawer covered with convergence controls, and you could tweak that thing until it was absolutely perfect, and you could do it while watching it from the front!) * Land-Based Tactical Support Center DP Tech J-531-0365 11 weeks, 8 hours per day. I obtained the high score on the final exam as compared to any prior student. Everything you could possibly learn about the computer system and peripheral devices used at an anti-submarine warfare tactical support center. The computer was a Univac 1218 processor, 30 bit words (15 bit opcode and 15 bit operand); magnetic memory, extremely efficient architecture with multiple independent I/O channels able to communicate to different areas of memory simultaneously). They didn't like me very much, and I was required to memorize the disk sectors where different databases were stored. This came in handy; as the large removeable disk drives had lamps showing what cylinder was being accessed, so I could tell at a glance what the computer was working on, and speeded up crash analysis. * 3M (Material Management & Maintenance) Admin and Operations A500-0025, by Flt Trng Grp Pearl Harbor. This class pertains to the operation of the Navy's shipboard preventive maintenance programs; including the programs themselves, but more particularly the scheduling forms, reporting forms, and material ordering and accounting forms. * Jovial Programming language diploma from FOCCPAC. "Jewel's Own Version of the International Algebraic Language" -- one small step above a macro-assembler. I wrote one program in it; it wasn't used much by anyone. A real test of antique programmers if they know what "JOVIAL" stands for :-) I used this on a Control Data 1604 system. * Fortran Programming language diploma from FOCCPAC. My first Formula Translator program I wrote in junior high school way back in 1969; but this was the first documented training in it. I haven't done much with FORTRAN, other than some maintenance programming in 1989 while out on a mobile unit -- the computer that had been provided had a yucky Wordstar emulator written entirely in Fortran, but it would not page-skip across perforations. So I fixed it; took only 6 lines of code but finding where to put it and discovering, without documentation, how to work the compiler on that strange little RTOS-based minicomputer was difficult. * Electronic Accounting Machine Repair, FOCCPAC. Pre-computer stuff! My main employment for a few years, I was very skilled at repairing IBM models 029 Keypunch, 059 Verifier, 082 and 083 Sorter, 058 Interpreter, 407 Accounting Machine (that dude was huge and heavy, had HUNDREDS of mechanical relays and camshafts that had to be adjusted to one-quarter degree of rotation). * Data Processing Technician, 11 weeks; 5 days per week. This is what started it all. Used a Univac 1215 computer but main emphasis was on operating the EAM (Electronic Accounting Machines), keypunches and so forth. Extra skills and credentials: * Security clearance held at appropriate times. * Military Aptitude tests: AFQT 97 percentile. SBTB perfect score. GCT/ARI 141 (perfect is 145). (Acronyms: AFQT=Armed Forces Qualification Test; SBTB=Short Basic Test Battery; GCT/ARI=General Comprehensive Test / Arithmetic Test). * Possessed or now possesses: o First Class Commercial Radiotelephone License. Renewed twice then this class was replaced by the General Class. o General Radiotelephone FCC license o General class Amateur Radio License. o PADI Open Water Diver certification. * Electronic equipment and tools familiarity: I possess my own EIA568 UTP line tester (for LAN troubleshooting), a Phillips dual trace, delayed sweep oscilloscope, tools (including specialized crimpers and so forth for LAN and telephone installation), DVM's, and other related instruments and tools. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Portfolio * Web Pages, a sampling: (HTML Language Programming) o www.Orneveien.org - The Eagle Way (entire website and photography). o http://www.spiricon.com. I maintained and developed many of the pages on this site; I presently host the site and administer email and DNS. The blue sky background is a fractal plazma stretched laterally. Cool! o Many others! It is a moving target, they come and go frequently. * Photography and Desktop Publishing o Photography. The link takes you to a selection recently retired from the Tony Stone agency. o Cover page of Stereoscopy Magazine that I published quarterly from 1995 through 1997. ISU Details o Tony Stone Agency markets my eagle photographs. These photographs have been used by Boeing and IBM, among others. * Network Physical and LAN/WAN Topology Charts. I use Corel Draw for these charts; it is ideal for the purpose. Corel Draw is a general purpose drawing and charting program that can make almost anything. This avoids the burden of having to remember dozens of different programs, one for each specialized type of chart. It can work in Layers, do dimenionshing; like a CAD program, it can produce highly artistic logos, and it is vector based and infinitely scalable. o Floor 2. Physical layout of the second floor of a large installation, showing offices and hub port locations. o Network Topology. Chart showing the LAN topology and WAN connections for the same installation. These charts print with larger size and higher quality, of course, in their original format (Corel Draw). * Network monitoring: http://noc.diasi.com Details of Careers 9/1998 - present.
