Diploma Thesis 2006

In 2006 I finished my engineering degree in Automation at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (Politehnica). My diploma thesis was a system for monitoring and controlling car fleets with bidirectional communication: a way to track every vehicle in a fleet in real time over the mobile network, and to dispatch work back to the driver over that same channel. My thesis advisor was Assoc. Prof. Eng. Daniel Moga, PhD.

The system had two halves. In each vehicle sat a piece of mobile equipment, a Windows CE PDA with a GPS receiver and a GPRS modem, that reported its position to a command and control center and displayed assignments to the driver. The control center collected positions from the whole fleet, decided which free vehicle was closest to a new job, and sent the assignment out for the driver to accept or decline. I built it end to end: the storage backend on Linux and MySQL, the operator interface on Windows, the communication server in between, and the software on the device itself.

For Investors (why I don't answer)

Let me start with an apology. I cannot keep in touch with each of you individually, and I am sorry for that. It is not for lack of respect. Most of you are far smarter and better educated than I am, and I have no doubt I could learn a great deal from you. That makes the silence worse, not easier.

The plain problem is volume. The number of investors, funds, advisors, and intermediaries who reach out has grown past anything I can answer by hand. So I did what an engineer does and automated it. For a long time most of you received some version of this reply:

Genealogy

This page is a record of what I have been able to establish about my family, mostly from surviving parish registers and old newspapers. Most of it is my father’s line, the Uioreans of Feldioara Săcuiască, which goes back four generations from my grandfather to a man born around 1820. My grandmother’s family, the Sanislavs, were living in the same village and had come into it from the next one, and they are here too, as are the Liteans and the Triteans on my great-grandmother’s side. My mother’s side, the Conț and the Antohi, has its own section near the end, and it is much shorter.
