I've installed my first WWW server at the
Technical University of Darmstadt,
department of Physical Chemistry.
At this time the University was still called
"Technische Hochschule Darmstadt".
The first pages described the Physical Chemistry department,
the scientific areas, and its staff.
The web server application was the original httpd developed by CERN.
|
| 08-1994 |
Announced the WWW server at CERN, which was at this time the
central repository listing all web servers world wide.
Soon, the server was listed on various other portals like
Yahoo, FU Berlin, etc.

I started to work with VRML,
the Virtual Reality Modelling Language.
This was the time when the first specification emerged. After an
election on the Internet it was decided to use the OpenInventor
file format as a starting point.
As one of the first, I investigated how VRML can be used in
chemistry, especially for the 3D representation of
molecular structures.
|
| 04-1995 |
I attended the
III International World Wide Web Conference
in Darmstadt. Here, I gave my first presentation of VRML
applications in the chemistry area. This was also the time
when the first VRML browser (WebSpace) went public.
|
| nn-1995 |
My first paper on VRML in Chemistry got published.
|
| 01-1996 |
At the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing '96
on Hawaii I presented
VRML in Chemistry3D Molecular Graphics on the World Wide Web
(Postscript version).
|
| nn-1996 |
I've written my first Java applet.
A small molecular dynamics program,
which shows the motions of the atoms in a molecule immediately
as they were calculated.
|
| nn-1997 |
I started to work for Silicon Graphics, Inc
(SGI) as a freelancer.
My first task was the creation of a web server for the internal
team communication. This was my second web server.
|
| 01-1997 |
Finished my Ph.D. thesis at the Technical University of Darmstadt
in Physical Chemistry. It is about molecular dynamics simulations
of a biomembrane.
|
| nn-1997 |
I started to work for SGI as a technical marketing specialist
in the chemical and pharmaceutical area. One of my goals was the
evaluation and deployment of Internet technologies.
The office was located in Basel, Switzerland.
|
| 03-1997 |
I participated in the GenCrunch project. This was one of the largest
WWW events at this time. A bioinformatics server analyzed the whole
genome of the yeast cell in just three days. The computational
task was performed online, allowing the scientific community to
browse through the results as they were generated.
A result of this event was the formation of the bioinformatics
company Lion Bioscience.
|
| nn-1997 |
Based on the experiences collected with the GenCrunch project,
I developed my first web based solution, the CrunchServer.
The CrunchServer is a web frontend to Turbomol, an ab-initio
quantum chemical application, which manages the results of the latter.
The system was installed at BASF.
|
| nn-1997 |
Next, I developed a web interface for a database. The latter,
implemented at Bayer,
contains properties of chemical substances.
Hence, the system was called ProperView.
The solution was presented at Achema 97.
|
| 02-1998 |
Developed a Perl module for converting PDB (portein databank) files
into VRML files.
|
| nn-1999 |
I moved from marketing to the professional service organization and
became a solution architect. In this new role I started to design
and implement a data management solution called CAE-Bench.
|
| 02-2001 |
The first CAE-Bench system was going productive at
BMW. It manages
the data of the Crash department (approx. 1.5TB per year), analyzes it,
and creates reports automatically. In parallel a similar system for
the NVH department was installed.
|
| 03-2001 |
Registered my first personal Internet domain
horstv.de.
... and stopped counting the number of web server I've created
and deployed.

Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike on debugging in "The Practice of Programming"
As personal choice, we tend not to
use debuggers beyond getting a stack trace or the value of a variable or
two. One reason is that it is easy to get lost in details of complicated
data structures and control flow; we find stepping through a program
less productive than thinking harder and adding output statements and
self-checking code at critical places. Clicking over statements takes
longer than scanning the output of judiciously-placed displays. It takes
less time to decide where to put print statements than to single-step to
the critical section of code, even assuming we know where that is. More
important, debugging statements stay with the program; debugging
sessions are transient. |
