Lance's first job was as an operator on a 360/36 where he
mastered jcl, decollator and burster. He has completely forgotten
jcl. Lance worked the 2nd West Coast Computer Faire for Structured
Systems Group. He was co-founder of Virtual Microsystems which
manufactured the Bridge, a CP/M (and latter msdos) emulator
for minicomputer systems. Lance worked with the SQL Server from
the time it was just a gleam in Bob Epstein's eye until very
recently. He is the author the SQL 6 Pack, a set of tools for
the SQL Server, which is sold by Platinum technology (now CA). Lance
has caught the Java bug and co-founded Tilden Park Software
in 1997. |

| Susie's degrees from UCB in phonetics and phonology lead her
to computers by way of speech synthesis and recognition. This
got her access a very early proto-internet account courtesy
of DARPA. This in turn led to a 12 year database career at Ingres
(né RTI) and Sybase moving from QA to engineering management.
The circle is completed as she has returned to her academic
roots by specializing in advanced instructional technologies,
highly technical curriculum development and training for a variety
of clients. |

Annika, YAOB*, explored her love of CS at UC Berkeley but
transitioned easily to the real world: applications programming
in a variety of languages ranging from object-oriented Lisp
to C++. During the dot-com years she moved to Java on the server
side of commercial web applications for a variety of internet
start-ups. She enjoyed this because it gave her the chance to
experience a variety of ways to do things wrong and to learn
about the scalability of hosted applications. Now she is happily
working as a consultant at Tilden Park Software.
