Welcome to WindowMeister.com!

What is this site all about?  What's a WindowMeister?   This name stems from my extensive experience and interest in the Microsoft® Windows™ operating system.  I first became interested in Windows back in the days when it was first released as Windows 1.0 and there were all of perhaps 15 programs that could run in the environment.  As Windows advanced I kept up with it and enjoyed exploring this bug-rich and infamous GUI.  As time went by my friends and co-workers would come to me for tips and solutions for many of their Windows problems and I became known as "The Window Meister".  As this site develops, users will be able to access and share information and experiences to develop better skills with Windows and a wide variety of programs on the Windows platform. 

I have extensive experience in a variety of programming languages.  These languages include C, C++, many assembly languages, Perl, Java, JavaScript, Fortran, Pascal and even good old Basic.  With more than 30 years in the computer and electronics fields, I have experience debugging real-time systems and embedded microprocessor designs in hard and soft-real time environments.  I have designed small microprocessor controllers for myself and others from time to time including several successful designs which went from CAD to real circuit board designs with no hardware prototyping prior to actual fabrication of the boards.  I am not a Windows snob either, I have experimented and worked with UNIX, Linux, VMS, RSX-11M and other operating systems.

Quote of the Month

"In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good."

"There has never been a protracted war from which a country has benefited. "

"There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare."

"Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory."

-- Sun Tzu, The Art of War
