Dalibor Lanik Home Page - My Job...

This page tells You something about my profession...

My first job was as a DJ. I worked over summer in a couple of discotheques to get some money to go to the sea with friends. My first full-time job was at Most Computers, Belgrade, Yugoslavia. I worked as technician.

I also worked for two leading Yugoslav computer magazines, Svet Kompjutera (Computer World) and Racunari (Computers) for several years. I used to write articles on topics of software reviews, programming, hacking, etc. I also worked as a BBS conference moderator (Atari ST conference) on Sezam BBS, the most influential BBS in Yugoslavia in the 80's (Now devided in two companies, SezamPro and SezamNet). I am a member of the Federation of Yugoslav Journalists.

Afterwards I moved to the Czech Republic. I worked more than a year at FastCom s.r.o. (FastNET systems plc London). I worked as a programmer, writing in C (C-ISAM), economic software called Premier Plus (running under AT&T and SCO UNIX). Then the company switched from Premier Plus (MultiSoft financial Systems) to Lawson software (UNIX as well, but front-end (client) in Windows, and server part running on AIX - IBM's UNIX flavor on PowerPC chip).

I didn't like COBOL (in which Lawson's core is written) so I stayed there for a couple of more months (enough to get a taste of COBOL) and found new job at M&J Genuine Design a.s., a British-Czech company.

We have a chain of glass and gifts shops (Blue Praha) in Prague, Czech Republic, as well as cosmetics (Body Basics). We're also authorised distributor of Swatch for the Czech Republic. I work as system administrator and economic software admin. The software we use is Scala.

After 6 years in M&J, I decided it was time for a change. I found a new job in The British Council. I'm employed as IT Systems Administrator. After 3 months in the Council, I must say that this is the most pleasant place I worked in so far.

 

Future? Who knows. I got tired from writing articles; got tired from writing software; I'm not tired with network administration (yet). Maybee Web-page design? Send me an offer and We'll see. :))
