I was born in 1959, 28-X, in Milano, Italy. And so you know also my age.
Now, some generalities, my Curriculum will follow later.
Hobbies: hm... let's say I'm seriusly computer-addicted, for sure my wife will strongly agree. My very first computer was a big HP 2000, at school. There I learned Fortran IV and HP Assembler, actually both buried and forgotten. Oh, it is correct to mention that before the HP I had for two years an Olivetti programmable calculator, I forgot the model. It was a very early puter!!!!
Then, at Work, an IBM 370/68, a room full of elements, with a RAM equal to the one on my later Commodore 64!
At puter I cover a *lot* of interests, from developing progs for myself to play with my combat flight simulator, from graphics to HTML, viruses analysis, music etc. etc.
Other great interest are watches, the mechanic ones, also ancients. As hobbist I managed to repair/adjust someone for friends/relatives and one for me, successfully (ehm, usually...).
When not in trance in front of my monitor or down onto an open watch, I like to enjoy the company of my wife Danielle, who I met on 19-II-80 and married on 14-IX-85: I'll try to put online some photo of her/us.
We both love to rub our lovely black cat, Sissi, and if I would stay at her purrrrrs, that seems mutual.
Unfortunately, she left us, or as many says "she passed over the Rainbow Bridge", on May 11 1998. She was more than only a cat, and she gave us the gift of her love for 12 years and half. We will never forget her...
From the same day, having discovered how much we are cat-addicted, Lisa and Betsy, two black females six-seven weeks old, joined us, keeping us smiling...
Their deep purrrr says that they too are satisfied of us.... ;-)

Whatever we are (or I am) doing, there's always music. You'll see I love Heavy Metal, but not only, I also like Jethro, Pink, Queen and other specialities, and Classic too.
Rarely, I even find some time to read a good book, and it will easily be a S.King one (love the good horror) or a thriller/fantasy. Since we are in a related argument, my best movies are Alien (all three, not seen the 4) and horrors like Dracula of Coppola, or the Nosferatu of 1922.
And I will end up remembering I also love to smoke a good pipe (you will see), and the good company at table, when a good food meets good wine and good friends.

CurriculumRoberto Reymond: born at Milano, Italy, in the afternoon of October 28, 1959.In 1979 got his upper school leaving certificate (score 50/60), at the "P.Hensemberger" Technical Institute, at Monza (MI), with address "Informatics". From that period survived not only the diploma and several books, but also some meters of paper tape, which was the standard input device for the HP 2000 computer of the school. Called in the Army in 1980, he took advantage of that time learning how to drive a truck, which left him with an Italian class D driving license. Shortly after that, he joined IBM Italia on August 7, 1981, as System Operator, with the responsibility of monitoring and managing the TP. In 1988 he got, cleaned (and collect) a virus, his first one. It was a Bouncing Ball, aka Ping Pong. Then he followed the steps of the Operator career, and during that time he learned to write procedures and progs in JCL, PL/1 and REXX (VM), on the mainframes IBM. Contemporary, after the diffusion of the PC, also as 3270 emulation station, he become a known expert in IS about applications and installations involving PC, XT, AT and 3270PC. In April, 1991 he closed his Operator career, leaving IS as System Technician and -as SE Assistant- he entered the Hotline PS/2 group, in the Software div., becoming few months later System Engineer. Here he was charged to give technical support on all the PC/PS SW products at the time sold by IBM, for resellers and sometimes clients. In the same time he kept on giving consulence of virus related probs, also writing a paper, approved by IBM for the distribution, and an article on the Company Magazine. When in 1992 the Italian Computer Emergency Response Team was established, he was asked to join. Which he did. Becoming official his activity about viruses, he looked deeper in items like Assembler language, binary and hex structure and a lot of related tools, so that he become able to offer a First Level help, usually capable of delivery in very short time a first analysis of a previuos unknown virus, eventually some suggestions on how to cope with, and a temporary patch for the IBM AntiVirus. With the transferring of the hotline activities to other locations and providers, he then has been part of the dawning Personal Software Products direction, as expert of PC/PS software, mantaining his role in Italian CERT. After, he became OS/2 specialist, obtaining the IBM Certified OS/2 Engineer award, and SysOp of the IBM PSP BBS, a public bbs loaded of drivers, files, utilities and more about and for OS/2. It was about this time that the activity in the CERT became wider, since he started to give pre and post-sales support for the IBMAV product. Finally, on March 3, 1997, he joined the Information Asset Security, with the charge of give security consulence for clients, on OS/2, Windows NT, Lotus Notes etc. So he participated to an International Notes Review, and also delivered a National Certification to an Italian site. About viruses, he wrote another article for the internal magazine (a copy is available in Office). Actually he's working as security expert in developing/implementing several security/ativirus solutions for IBM clients, also performing hetical hacking. | |
