About me

Hello, I'm Uwe S. Fuerst, the founder of PHI.NET (formerly known as PHI-Germany)

I was born in Wolfsburg, Germany, in the early morning hours of the 25th of November 1965 (shiver... ;-)

After the usual four years in primary school in middle Germany I went to a grammar school of fine arts and music in lower Bavaria. There I started learning to play the piano, but during the following six years I recognized that I'm more talented in the fields of "mathematix," "physix" and "technix" ;-) so, I decided to change school and learn more about computer science and qualify for university entrance.
A few years later, I started studying computer science at a technical college called "Hochschule für Technik, Wirtschaft und Sozialwesen" in Regensburg.

During my study I worked for an international software distributor. At first supporting programming languages and standard applications running under DOS, later for XENIX and UNIX operating systems as well as for database systems like Informix and Oracle (that was 1988, the same year I founded PHI-Germany, now known as PHI.NET)

Of course that lead me to the interesting world of connectivity and networking which is my specialty. To be honest, I haven't finished my study of computer science. My part time job took me more and more time and the things I've learned in work got much more interesting than the contents of my study these days. Moreover, I realized that most of the stuff I had to learn did not combine with my practical experiences. After the fifth term I quit my "unworldly" study and concentrated on my business.

From the beginning of 1990 on I was (and still am) running my own UNIX server at home (besides NT and Windows 2000/2003.) Whereas at first I was using UUCP via modems (and later ISDN) to let me send and receive international mail and usenet news. Today I'm using DSL technology and TCP/IP routers to connect my client systems to the Internet.

If you're interested in what projects I did over the last 25 years, please feel free to contact me by email. Listing them here would be way to much to read...
