Bruno Girschweiler's home...
In early 1995, I was with the
W3 Consortium.
In Cambridge, Mass. I did contribute a tiny little share to the
WWW Project.
EUnet in Zürich erklärt das
Web auf deutsch.
Currently, I am "on the road" again. Somewhere between Cape Cod,
New York, or ...
Your getting *here* proves you are an experienced Web surfer, so I don't
have to tell you why I think the Web is THE major development to allow
_anybody_ access the world's information sources.
Enjoy your browsing !
hyperwebbing
Developing slowly, spinning in process: You will be able to web an American
Hypertext Story, by browsing thru it...
Until now, not much more than the page explaining
the term "hyperwebbing" is available.
Please come back again !
Personals
- My "real" home is in
Switzerland,
that little country in the middle of
E u r o p e .
On
this map,
the smallest of three blue dots below ZH, the canton of Zürich,
(links)
is where I grew up at the Pfäffikersee.
- My email-address BFG@w3.org
could be explained as Bruno From
Geneva,
[euGuide]
where I lived from 1986 - 87.
- For the first few months of 1995, I lived in
Cambridge,
or, a bit more general, in
Boston,
U S A.
Have a look at some
digital postcards !
- My mother, an ornithologist, would be delighted to discover there is
EuroBirdNet Suisse, also available in
english.
History
- Once upon a time, there was a computer called
VAX 11/780
(larger JPEG).
It was to replace an old Univac, too sad I haven't found a picture of
the historic card puncher on which I did a Swiss concern's
yearend-closing. [ A card-puncher was the equivalent of most of today's
speech recognition systems: be happy if the computer understands
you and actually does what you want... ]
My hobbies include:
Recent travelling:
- In August 1994, I visited Badlands National Park, then the Black Hills
where you find
Mount Rushmore and
Crazy Horse National Monument nearby, which is much more important
in my opinion. It ist being carved out of solid rock. This takes dozens
of years, so you can't see much more yet than the head and the model.
But the Indian Museum of North America is also there, and the whole
effort is worth your support as the Black Hills belong to Native
Americans, as guaranteed in a 1870's treaty.
Talking about the value of paper as the Goldrush started...
- In September, I was in
Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks,
as well as shortly in
Grand Canyon National Park.
There is also
Mesa Verde National Park
[slow!],
Rocky Mountain N.P. with
Nymph Lake / Hallet Peak
which I climbed on 1-Oct-94.
- The City I like best out West is Boulder, Colorado
(current weather by NCAR).
- Travelling with me can mean anything from not sleeping at all (e.g.
New York),
living in
Hostels,
or ....
- I admit I crossed the States by car, instead of
HPV.
- Coming up:
- Maybe, I'll make it all the way to
New Orleans
in May/June 1995.
[ note: Jazz & Heritage Festival 28-Apr to 7-May ]
- And will I see YOU there or back in Europe ? Please let me know.
