This is what is called Pasha Zusmanovich's homepage as of March 18, 1998.

Needless to say, all appeals, pleas, statements, addresses, links, etc., are no longer actual.

Pasha Zusmanovich's Home Page

Ok, in these days when everyone and his little sister owns for several home pages, I could not resist a temptation and joined the club. As the majority of home pages, it is rather egocentric, permanently "under construction" and cluttered with details understandable only to its author. So you probably don't will find any worth your attention here unless you are either interested in Pasha Zusmanovich per se, or are able to help me (and kind enough to do that).

Instead of resume...

Well, I decided to remove this boring stuff (resume I mean) as my job quest period succesfully finished. I found a very attractive (so far - have not started to work yet :-) ) job at a company named EIT (Electronic Imaging Technologies). I am grateful to all people which helped me in this matter, especially:
Izzy Bromberg, for support and good advices (you know, sort of advices which American can give to Russian in Israel);
Tia Burman, for bringing my resume to readable condition and good advices too;
all nice people at my previous work, especially Amir Ben-Moshe for patience when I was on interviews instead of fixing urgent problems on their web site and tolerating my reasonings about Microsoft and human nature;
my wife Gala for I don't know what exactly, but sure she deserves to be mentioned here.

Some toy (Java) programs I wrote


My home network

This is one of my hobbies. Not something special, but I like it very much. First of all,

Sun-1 --- Request for help!
Any help in bringing to working conditions my Sun-1 workstation (information, documentation, peripheral devices), would be greatly appreciated. Details here.

Now, more usual stuff. I have 4 PCs: two 386SX 25Mhz 4MB RAM Linux 2.x, one 486DX 100Mhz 32MB RAM Windows 95, one Pentium 200 Mhz 64MB RAM Windows NT Server 4.0. Strictly speaking, mine are only 3 of them, a Win95 machine belongs to my son. NT used for my daily tasks (gif 29K), one of Linux boxes serves as gateway to Internet (gif 7K) (with IP masquerading and Apache as proxy server), and the other one has no strictly defined role (thought to use it to run X stuff with X servers on windoze, but seems X is too heavy for such configuration; maybe will run on it some gameservers; by the way, all internet-related stuff - mail server, proxy server, etc., runs very well). All this is connected via thin Ethernet. Besides that, I have a bunch of different parts from which from time to time I assemble something (or reassemble existing machines). The whole process is similar to playing Lego.
So far it happened strictly PC-oriented, but I hope to fix that in the future. Particularly, my plans include: ISDN (instead of current modem connection), acquiring of some SPARC, Macintosh (maybe also NeXT?), and something JavaOS/NC-like. Concerning PCs, I think to put together a Dos-based machine (with Geos and/or DesqView and/or nice Internet stuff like Arachne, and maybe some Java stuff) demonstrating how it is possible to have a very nice Dos Internet client, and take a look at QNX and Inferno which both seem very inetersting. (Is Inferno the next Unix?) And, of course, continue to collect all old stuff which I am able to laid hand on. Oh, by the way,

if you plan to throw away something computer-related (which will fit in my 3-room apartment) and live in Israel, I would be grateful if you first let me know. Maybe I will be happy to pick it up.
my network status

Stamps

Some reflections...

Books I am reading or recently have read


People wanted...

That's a list of people I am (virtually) searching for...

Links, links (how without them?..)

Some nice (hm-hm...) persons

There are more nice persons known to me but unfortunately they have not established their web presence so far...

Computerese

That's all for now... (oh yeah, there is lot of links to Linux, Java, and all such nice stuff, please find them yourself).

Some pictures (how without them too?)

I usually hate pictures on web pages, but there are sometimes something which I feel I just must share with broad audience. No, this is not pictures of mine neither of nice nude girls. Something very special, you know...
