Mike Schienle has been on the Internet since long before Al Gore
invented it. He started his career in the aerospace and defense
industry in the early 1980's. His initial background was in image
processing, remote sensing and system administration of an ancient
architecture once known as VAX. He has been using Macs since the day
they took the Lisa computer out of his office in 1984. After 10 years
of kicking shell scripts around, Perl became his language of choice,
although he knows his way around several others. Mike runs Custom Visuals, LLC, a small
company that dabbles in internet applications, website design/hosting
and database integration.
