Biographical Information
Occupation:
Previously:
Education:
- Ph.D. in Computer Science from
North Dakota State University
in Fargo, ND, 1994. The insomnia-curing title of my dissertation:
Enhanced Database Concurrency Control in a Supercomputer
Vector-Processing Environment.
UMI will sell you a copy of it, but I don't get any of that
action until a whole bunch of copies are sold.
I'm not holding my breath...
- M.S. in Computer Science from the
University of Wisconsin - Madison
, 1987. Sorry, no equally boring MS thesis title; Madison didn't require
one, and I didn't offer.
- B.S. in Computer Science (notice the trend?) from the
University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh
, 1985. I confess that I minored in math, but that's hard to prove
by asking me to do any calculus.
