Shawn Ostermann
Shawn was born in the Tampa bay area of Florida in November of 1969. He has resided in Pinellas county for his entire life. Although some may find this fact unadventurous, he takes comfort in knowing his friends and family are close by.
Shawn is a born-again Christian and tries to follow The Lord's path for his life at all times. He fails often, but tries to learn from his mistakes and grow from the experience. His testimony is quite interesting.
Shawn had spent most of his life trying to seek satisfaction in physical pleasures before he found God in the rave scene. Now he seeks, and finds, fulfillment in the joy of The Lord!
Shawn has been interested in computers since the age of 13. His first computer was an Atari 400 that his grandmother had bought for him. He was instantly addicted. It wasn't long before he was programming and connecting online to the first 'bulletin board systems' ever (The predecessor to the Internet).
Now Shawn works as an I.T. Director for a large-format printing company in Largo, Florida. He enjoys going to church twice a week. His hobbies include fossil hunting and anything with computers. He is a total geek.
Some of his computer-oriented interests include:
- Coding in Visual Basic, Javascript, Lotusscript and @formula language
- Graphic design using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator
- Video capture and editing using the Adobe Video Suite
- Network Administrations / System Analyst
- Computer Repair
- Computer Security / Safety
- Webdesign - Some of his latest creations:
