Business Quest

Welcome to everyday adventures in my business life, including thoughts and feelings about a world within which all things are connected. This QUEST is a JOURNEY to share knowledge, a JUNKET to share enjoyment, and often times simply an OUTING among old friends and new acquaintances.

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Hockessin, Delaware, United States

To Myers-Briggs I'm an INTJ on the cusp of an E. A war-orphan, I was raised an only child by my mother. Born into a family of engineers and inventors, I naturally gravitated to engineering; model railroading at age 5. By the time I left high school the railroad was well automated (back when mechanical relays and vacuum tubes prevailed.) Home was Gary, Indiana and while attending Purdue University I majored in Electrical Engineering, worked part-time and summers as a motor inspector at the Inland Steel 80" Hot Strip, where I found the air conditioning requirement of early automation equipment to be personally beneficial. I joined the DuPont Corporation as a Design Engineer and moved to Waynesboro, VA. (where in 1969 I automated the 1929 Acetate Chemical process using a Digital Equipment PDP 8E computer supervising five PDP14 industrial controllers -- the computer was programmed using a Teletype machine and paper tape!) I also had the pleasure of an assignment in Londonderry NI in 1973 followed by a move to Charleston, SC in 1976 to construct a fully automated polyester fiber facility (complete with industrial robots). But enough about me...

Practicing What We Preach - Closure

On Friday, November 4th, the alleged perpetrator of the vehicle break in and theft of our property was apprehended and is now in Gander Hill Prison, innocent until proven guilty. Evidence in custody of the suspect and retrieved by the police included a carrying case containing MY business card! Yet to be seen is how much of the stolen property has been recovered and is being held by the State Police.

What's been learned:
1) surveillance equipment is effective in recovery
2) cameras are NOT all that effective as a deterrent!
3) knocking off a security surveillance outfit is ill advised

Case closed (although we will be working through all the paperwork for some time to come)!
