My name is Sasmito Adibowo. Born in Jakarta on December 12th, 1980, The eldest of three brothers. I went to school at Sang Timur Jakarta, where most of the kids there knew me by the name Abraham.

Being introduced to computers at an early age -- third grade elementary school -- my biggest hobby is programming. That hobby took me to major in computer science at the University of Indonesia.

My first experience in communicating using computers is via Bulletin-Board Systems (BBS). I was a member of several Jakarta-based BBS, among others are PusData Online, CegieNet, RedBlock and many more. But Alas, since the World-wide web revolution which popularizes the Internet, the BBS world in Indonesia is crumbling down -- mostly by the inability to compete because of limited funding.

Teamed up with Minnarto Djojo and Rama Ambara, I was the second place winner in the Canisius Computer Contest (Laga Komputer Canisius - Kolese Kanisius Jakarta) in 1998. The contentest presented four difficult problems that needs to be solved programmatically using Pascal.

Also in 1998, I published my first commercial program, Diary for Windows. Although it wasn't a seller, it was quite an achievement for a high-school student. I've also written some programming articles for Mikrodata.

I'm now an undergraduate student at the Faculty of Computer Science, University of Indonesia, as the class of '99.
