Having studied Computer Science at the University of Dortmund I started to
work for company 'Georg Heeg' in 1990. Beside the support I work as a trainer
for the Smalltalk Programming language. If you are interested please look
for further information on Georg Heeg courses right here.
In my spare time I spend a lot of hours in front of my PowerMac, painting pictures, modelling in 3D, and raytracing those models afterwards. Other hobbies are cycling, motor biking, music.
Look here for a collection of 'Pictures for a year'.
Have you ever seen a computer built from scratch? My brother and I did this in 1979 (I think, we started there), and it was great fun when it really did what it should. Look here for a picture. Sadly enough, it doesn't work anymore. Specs: Z80 2MHz, 2 kB static RAM, 2 kB static RAM with battery (like an EEPROM), selfmade backplane, selfmade boards.
Above all I am now working on the construction of a Cornish Steam engine. That's the reason why I put up Roland's Cornish Steam Engine Page, showing some pictures of the 3D model (the current "state of affairs") along with some information on the original.
