My name is Stephen (Steve) Ramey Glines.
This is what I know how to do:

Information Systems: My Specialty is the design and management of firewalls and networks as well as design and management of email systems with anti-Spam and virus control. I've written or co-written 5 books on Unix system management. I do know Microsoft Windows (servers, XP & 2000) but the bulk of my expertise is in Unix and Linux networking. I've taught networking and network security at Middlesex Community College . I've also created some very sophisticated single purpose designs for Internet Service Provider's, NASA and brand name software firms. See www.is-cs.com. My computer related resume: DFLT-RESUME

Business plans & copywriting: As a contract writer I've written business plans for www.wheelstv.net and www.akazaresearch.com. I've written and delivered Computer Science courseware for Middlesex Community College and HP. And I've written technical manuals, product marketing guides, online training systems and technical white papers for such companies as Fidelity and HP. Of course I also write flyers, ads, brochures, menus, travelogues, obituaries and anything else that requires the careful crafting of the English language. See www.industrialmyth.com, www.opuscula.com and http://www.mediabistro.com/SteveGlines for extensive samples of my writing. My business development resume: BizDevRes

Graphic Design & Publishing: BC, before computers, I was a graphic designer specializing in books and magazines. I managed a publisher's service bureau with 6 artists, 2 typesetters and a full darkroom with photostat cameras. I designed several dozen books and magazines. This lead to art directors jobs with the East West Journal and Sail Magazine. I've kept current by designing literary books over the years as an avocation, designing six last year alone. Through the encouragement of friends this is now, once again, a business. ISCS Press offers a full range of publishing services from editing to marketing. See www.iscspress.com and www.whlreview.com. I design web sites too. My writing and graphic arts resume: WriterResume

Patent pending: Over the years I have had some "good ideas" that lead as far as provisional patent applications.

·         In 2000 I filed a provisional patent titled, " Locating nearby Copies of Replicated (or distinct) Internet Servers using the anycast IP addressing method to access DNS Servers for Implicit Route Discovery." Its purpose was to speed delivery of information over the Internet. The methodology is now in the public domain.

·         In 2007 I filed a provisional patent titled, " The use of a lock and key-like interface to determine characteristics of power distribution on a direct current power bus." Its purpose is to eliminate all those little transformers that eat up power strips by the dozens. Every electronic device has them, those "wall warts" for cell phones, printers, laptops, wireless access points, etc. I am actively looking for a marketing partner. If you're interested click here.
