My name is Edi Weitz, and I'm working as a professor for mathematics and computer science at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. Im also still available (for small to medium-sized tasks) as a free-lance consultant and application developer, specializing in Common Lisp. Email me (edi(at)weitz(dot)de or edi(at)agharta(dot)de) for address and phone numbers.
