In my young days, "social engineering" in the Welfare State was as big as the computer revolution has been in the last years. Initially, I worked ten years in government, calculating the Gross Domestic Product and running studies to project future trends. I left this work around 1985, and I have since made my living by computer programming. The democratic and anti-authoritarian revolution brought by the Internet is definitely the big thing in my life. It is a dramatic event in world history, like the fall of the Berlin Wall, and something I probably had always been waiting for.

In 1996 I made an advanced freeware program for flexible staff scheduling called Individual Working Hours. Find out about it at my IWH page. (I am afraid that some of its links are dead by now.) Of course I will be glad to give you advice and comments if you find something interesting there. Soon after, I left the Human Resources Management business — with a warm place in my heart for F. W. Taylor , who is, I think, one of the most defamed persons in human history.

In 1997 I made a program with a database concept that had been in my mind for at least fifteen years, "The Literary Machine." It has a steady download frequency of at least 100 a month since 1999. I get letters from people who are enthusiastic about it. Since the end of 2001, I am cooperating with Kathy Krajco to explain the program.

I wrote The Literary Machine primarily to help me write. I own a Rocket ebook, and I follow developments in the electronic publishing industry with great interest. For the last few years I have also run a "one-man ezine" in which I publish political comments, philosophical essays, poetry and novels. Its steadily growing archive contains at least 600 pieces — all in Swedish though.

Logic takes care of itself; all we have
to do is to look and see how it does it.
