e-stangl: Think Tank ;-) for Science & Technology
e-stangl.at is the central node and root of Elke Stangl's websites, supported and inspired by the Subversive Element
This website comprises an overview of thoughts and ideas evolving from experiences gathered throughout my professional career and private projects. There is an English version of the other pages, which is always lagging behind the German version by 2 or 3 update cycles.
These pages are changed on a completely irregular basis and at the locations you would never expect it. Stay tuned! This is no blog: I am committed to sculpturing existing pages again and again. But: I am also committed to pre-serving top embarrassing old versions.

History of this site: The purpose of this website (if it exists at all) is changing with time. Here is the archive of comments:
18.03.2006 This website is setup as a non-blog - on purpose. There are so many places on the web, where written statements tied to context, date and daily routine can be found. But this here is my personal console - replying to my individual WHOAMI. An I am expecting concise and current infos. This website is in use since early 1998 - and archiving my ancient footprints in the web is important to me. Archive.org - a warm welcome! I am asking myself: We are all netizens spreading out thoughts in digital formats - what will endure throughout the centuries? Who will take care of my dear website in 200 years? |
21.01.2006 As the (hi)story of this website goes, this is all about abnormal and recursive self-reflection. WHOAMI has produced pre-liminary answers to the questions (of life) which has caused a delay in updating these pages. Now 100s of years will be necessary to analyze: change, life, the universe and everything. Other version: The Subversive Element is subverting even this serious website und is especially its motivation to subversion is growing again - but sill: The basic target to subversvion is unknown. |
05.03.2005 Unbelievable, but true: The puropose of this website has not changed since several months: It is a kind of graphical version of the command line tool WHOAMI (Who am I), which tells me who I really am. Every 2-3 months WHOAMI is flickering at my console and I start searching for the ultimate answer: being my own processor, operating system and slef-analyzing logic. Spending some sleepness night in front of my PC, the answer comes to me wrapped in my home-made web sites. The input is generated in a process I hardly understand: I am reading my own e-mails and postings, wondering about the ways my thinkung goes sometimes, and listening to me telling my own stories again and again. |
11.09.2004 Slowly the purpose of my website is revealed to me: It is a kind of graphical version of the command line tool WHOAMI (Who am I), which tells me who I really am. Every 2-3 months WHOAMI is flickering at my console and I start searching for the ultimate answer: being my own processor, operating system and slef-analyzing logic. Spending some sleepness night in front of my PC, the answer comes to me wrapped in my home-made web sites. The input is generated in a process I hardly understand: I am reading my own e-mails and postings, wondering about the ways my thinkung goes sometimes, and listening to me telling my own stories again and again. |
16.07.2004 This is my private Website. I am working as an IT consultant and am exploring my scientific roots again. I have a PhD in physics, which turned to a hobby now. In the moment my main field of interest is quantum cryptography (whose applications are directly related to my professional work). But due to insights in different "worlds" gathered throughout my carreer I cannot assign my scientific interests to an academic discipline. The one which fits best is: philosophy |
24.01.2004 This is my private website. I do not want to sell anything to anybody and I do not want to convince anybody of anything. These are snippets of content representing my identity as a netizen (an internet citizen), which may seem strange, incomplete and ambigous by now. The pseudo-intellectual captions of navigation hyperlinks will be changed - don't panic ;-) Until end of 2004 this site will comprise thoughts about information technology and physics - which are the two fields I am concernced with professionally and non-professionally. |
12.10.2003 This is my private website. I do not want to sell anything to anybody and I do not want to convince anybody of anything. This not a fiercely managed IT project, so progress is moderate. These are snippets of content representing my identity as a netizen (an internet citizen). |
24.09.2003 Maintenance of this website is not a fiercely managed IT project, so there is NO deadline (Read one of my favourite books: "Slack" by Tom DeMarco). Therefore updates are published on a completely irregular basis & coming from the bottom of my heart. Or better: From the bottom of my mind, your are visting e-stangl Think Tank ;-). |
24.05.2003 No slack, no goals for this web site. Optimum pre-requisites - let's go! |
03.01.2003 This is a private website. It's design motivation is to make you think and read. I am not a professional web designer (any more), nevertheless it is one of my goals, that this site should not look like a typical private web page ;-) In the moment this site is heavily under construction. This is not a fiercely managed IT project, so there is NO deadline (Read one of my favourite books: "Slack" by Tom DeMarco) |
16.12.2002 The domain e-stangl.at was delegated in the glorious era of THE GREAT dotCOM HYPE, thus contains e-. The non-hyperlink part - the part above the underscore - reflects the golden light of the evening sun or is being shaken by an amber sandstorm |
