Frank Spade (@spade) – WordPress user profile

Bio

As senior citizen, I enjoy being gifted with a digital intuition, which I use to help others to get acquainted with new technologies (new to them).

WordPress Origin Story

Among other things I studied computer and information science, starting with Assembler, Pascal, C++, LISP and Scheme. At that time I had the luck to meet Konrad Zuse, a pioneer in that field. Towards the end of my studies, I moved to AI and started building expert systems (inspired by Prof. Herbert Stoyan). In the 90th I started building my first websites with HTML, Microsoft FrontPage, later Typo3, Drupal and then WordPress. It was a long way, but I am satisfied, where I am now as website admin, designer and chef editor of several websites.
