Pat Farrell AMS, CyberCash, and OneBigCD Alumni pages

I hate computers.

Sure, I earn my living programming them. I have lots of them. But sometimes they drive me nuts.

And this is one of those times. For some reason, I can't get these pages to talk to MySql. I have used MySql for six years. I get it. I have been building webpages for more than a decade. But it flat out fails. So none of the nice database lists work. I'm working on it, but this is not my number one priority.

Since Jamie has been in the news, here is a direct link to my page on OBCD alumni Jamie Edelkind

A great place to buy a scooter. Scoot Richmond

Not so great news about Scoot Richmond, see Chandra Tourtelot, Scooter Caper: Police Nab Alleged Thief on Facebook

Old jobs and attempts to make money

Trufina.com was a company that tried to sell identity services in the online dating space. It may technically still be in existance, but last time I heard anything, they had a big layoff of nearly all of the staff.

OneBigCD was a great company with a great idea: put legal music on the web. One small problem, the RIAA didn't like it.

CyberCash where I worked on SET (Secure Electronic Transactions) and InstaBuy the world's best electronic wallet.

I worked at AMS for more than 18 years. I know lots of folks who used to work there, and a tiny number of folks who still work there.

Schools and attempts to learn something

Schools I've attended that have websites:

George Mason University. (GMU)
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VA Tech)
D.J. O'Connell which has a couple of alumni pages including:
1. Jim Metzger's Class of 1969
2. Jim McGraw's DJO69 50th birthday party.

The database that drives these lists is MySql.

Really ancient history, in the 70s, there was First Data Corporation I've lost track of nearly everyone who worked there. The big event in First Data history was the fire that destroyed the computer center
