Bill White
I have a Bachelors degree from the US Air Force Academy
and a Masters degree in Computer Science from Stanford.
I was in the computer business for a long time until March 2020 when I became
unemployed due to the coronavirus situation and seriously reduced economic activity
at Mobileframe,
where I had joined the technical staff in November 2015. They have a great product
and I hope they are able to weather the health emergency.
Prior to Mobileframe I was a software engineer at
Iron Speed
where we were constantly improving our extraordinary web application generation tool, Iron Speed Designer,
until being forced to close on September 1, 2015 by mounting legal fees necessary to combat a patent troll.
Before joining Iron Speed I was the General Manager of PC Crisis Line,
where I spent most of the time helping people with their computer problems.
I began my career in the computer business with the US Air Force where I was a programmer, systems analyst,
and manager of computer programming with the SR-71 program at Beale AFB.
The SR-71
is a great airplane, having many interesting anecdotes about its exploits. This is typical:
Major-Brian-Shul-I-loved-that-jet,
and here's a great
interview with a pilot and one of the many
documentaries on YouTube,
Following the Air Force, I was a research programmer for Stanford University
and then became an independent small business and programming consultant. During that time I was a principal
in
Teknowledge, Inc., one of the first AI knowledge engineering companies.
I was also a Boy Scout leader for many years, coached youth sports, and have run for public office as a Libertarian.
You can see more on my profiles at FaceBook,
and LinkedIn.
Today both Kathy and I are retired and enjoying focussing on our family.
There are a number of web sites that I have worked on:
City Art Gallery ,
Erik White ,
Gravitational Art ,
West Valley Diary ,
Raleigh Securities ,
Stand For Freedom - Kneel To Tyranny ,
Articles of Good Governance ,
and here's a list of the training and marketing videos that I produced while at Iron Speed.
There is also a collection of other
interesting places in cyberspace that you should find useful:
Astronomy Picture of the Day
has a different image each day of our fascinating universe.
Stellarium
is planetarium software that shows exactly what you see when you look up at the stars.
Beyond Compare
is the ideal tool for comparing files and folders.
Confidesk
is the secure email and file storage service that I use.
RoboForm
is the best passwork management tool I've found.
Readit For Me
provides summaries of important books to save you time.
Celsius
was a good place to earn and borrow with your cryptocurency until they declare bankruptcy.
It remains to be seen whether they will be able to return to their vision of unbanking the world.
