Lawrence Roth

The Rothline Perspective is written and maintained by Lawrence Roth of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I started in the technology industry in 1998 when by luck I was hired as a  Sales Assistant for a software and hardware development and repair company.  The company provided me with database, spreadsheet, and  word process training

I later worked for an e-commerce company and learned HTML and JavaScript. I also wrote instructional manuals for employees. That experience led to a job opportunity with a major  corporation where I used all my skills and almost–so close–got to  learn and use an Oracle database.

But massive layoffs occurred and that company went bankrupt. I struggled  to survive for a few years as an independent contractor. Another  e-commerce job became available; I applied and got that job. I took a  static retail site to a dynamic database driven website using Access,  classic ASP, Dreamweaver, and PhotoShop. I wrote product descriptions and a user manual for an inventory database.

Then the SiteDataSystems.com project started at White Buffalo  Environmental, Inc. (an Environmental inspection company for oil and gas sites). I applied and got the job.

But what really interests me is science and science fiction. That”s what this blog is about the entertaining world of science and the ooky spooky world of science fiction. Enjoy.
