My name is Lammert Bies. Actually it is
Lammert Jan Bies, but only a few people call me that way.
I was born 33 years ago in a small village called Donkerbroek in the
Netherlands. Although it is boring there sometimes, I have never left that
village. I'm still living in one house with my parents, the same house
where I was born in.
Since 1992, I am developing software for technical and
telecommunication applications. According to my business card, my job
title is General Manager. Did you have that in mind when you saw
my photograph first, huh? Never judge on a face only!
Well, general manager does not mean I'm managing a lot of people. It
does effectively mean I am managing a lot of work: financial
administration, brewing coffee for my customers, cleaning my office now
and then and even sometimes developing some pieces of software. Reading
this it looks that being alone in a company is hard, but insiders told me
that managing people is still harder than managing work. Therefore, I will
keep it this way for a while ...
If you feel pity for me after reading this, don't hesitate to mail me
to cheer me up.
