TechLanCo

Technology, Lans and Computers, Inc.

  

TechLanCo and its principals have been in business providing programming, networking and communications services for various companies since 1965. Languages have changed over the years, going from low level assembly languages to Basic, Fortran, Cobol, EDL and Visual Basic. The technology marches on and .NET classes are in progress. 

This web site is run on the principal's web host computer running Windows 2000 Advanced Server, MS .NET Framework, IIS 5.0 and SQL Server 2000.

Assignments have included mostly programming, a few years as a Systems Engineer (Sales support), teaching on irregular intervals, and intermittent freelance consulting.

Recent programming has been in MS Visual Basic 6 for three years creating programs for a Multiple Listing Service and then putting some on the functions and data on a Palm handheld device. The Realtor maintains the database of all houses for sale on his own computer and updates it daily by replicating with the master copy over the Internet. This allows the Realtor to carry a laptop with full details and pictures of all properties and to show them without needing a connection to the Internet. The Palm project was built using Satellite Forms Basic and importing Access files from the MLS data on the PC. The program is re-fitted for each of the 12 MLS's.

Dot.com Raise money. Spend other people's money on great ideas. Great design. Good implementation. Not one dime in revenue in 4 years. Product would allow advertisers to send graphic ad files to newspapers. All they had to do was change their procedures for sending and receiving and billing and processing advertising files. Our program was installed and tested in dozens of offices, but the industry wouldn't go for it. Even our program was free. The yellow page industry didnt want it so we revamped it for the newspaper industry. Still no sale. Ran out of money again (for the 7th time) as the dot.com bomb hit. Police locked the doors.

Riskcorp (known as The Zenith) decided to re-write their Foxpro Workers Comp programs and run them on an AS400 instead of 21 Intel servers, so we provided continuing support for the Foxpro programs while the current Foxpro staff was trained in the new language to write the new program. In 1999 just before the Year 2000 panic, so we helped some with that too.
