About Robert Hartung

Robert

Rebekah |
Welcome, my name is Robert Hartung, and I am age 50 and married. My Wife's name is
Rebekah, and we been married since March of 1988. We live in
Lakeland, Florida USA. I was born in
Maple Shade, NJ
to Ruth and
Fred Hartung in December of 1959. We lived at
22 N Holly Ave,
Maple Shade, NJ.
My father,
Fred Hartung worked on government projects for
Hughes Aircraft in Californian.
When I was not in school, I traveled around the United States with my father
while he was working on the government projects. As my father's work took him
around the United States, I had to attend a private boarding school in Atco,
NJ. until I was 17 and received my high school diploma. I then rented an
efficiency apartment
atop the
Palace Confectionery;
24 E Scott St;
Riverside, NJ.
My mother, whose maiden name was
Ruth A. Wagner, I have no idea of her whereabouts for she vanished
after my father and mothers divorced when I was very young. My mother was from Pennsylvania
and my Father told me that her family was of
Amish descent.
My father believed marriage is for life as do I and why my father would never
remarry. He would never disclose anymore information...
My father retired while I was 17 and living in
Riverside, NJ. By age 18 I began a
lawnmower repair business which I kept open for 3 years. I also started
Hartung Candle Manufacturing Company that I later sold and the new owners moved
the factory to Taiwan. Around the spring of 1980 my
father moved to Florida, and asked if I would accompany him.
So I sold my businesses in the fall of 1980
and moved to Lakeland, FL. I reopen my lawnmower repair business in
Lakeland, calling it Bobby's Small Engine Shop and set up a booth at our
local flea market to sell lawn mower blades, parts, and accessories. It turned out to be a great way of advertising. Before long, push lawn mowers became throwaway items, so around late 1986,
I sold it to someone who was trying for sometime to acquire it.
It nevertheless allowed me to
encounter Rebekah in the fall of 1987 at a local restaurant. So in the
spring of 1988, we became man and wife at
Shepherd Road Baptist Church and the rest is history...
Today, I'm a Freelance Web Application
Programmer and Publisher. I own and operate Hartung Media, and some of our
sites including;
This site
RobertHartung.com;
Simply Great
Buys Magazine a Online Shopping
Guide;
Hartung Business Report Reporting on Home Based Business;

and

My Wife Rebekah is employed by Publix
Supermarket Warehouse and works in the Product Warehouse. We have no
children, but we have 3 dogs and 6 cats.

The Robert's Hobby's
-
My Computer Hobby's include, -
I love Computers:
The first computer I
owned was a Commodore PET. Currently, I own a laptop with Windows XP Professional, and Acer Aspire ONE with Linux Linpus Lite. I
own two desktops, the first is a ASUS home built with Linux Red Hat desktop
and the other is a ASUS home built with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10. I favor the Linux to Windows Vista or 7; I believe Linux will eventually replace Windows. The
Linux operating System is a far more stable operating system than the blue screen of
death with windows. Additionally, Mac's are impressive systems with Mac OS 10, extremely high quality, and very stable. -
I am a Web Designer and Application Programmer.
I'm very knowable in
HTML, CGI, ASP, PHP, XML, Java, Ajax, and Java script. (This Whole Site from
The ground up was first design by hand and now with the aid of Dreamweaver,
and AlleyCode V2.21;
I design Flash Movies with
Swish Max 3,
or Eclipse). Even
so, you still need to hard code your work. I was slowly moving away from this
form of site design to Joomla,
and other
content management systems. However, I found too many security gaps, but we
are working to correct the problems. -
Graphic Design:
I use Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 and
Swish Max 3. -
Computer Programming:
Visual Basic, C/C++ and Web Application Design with Eclipse in Java, Ajax and Java script. -
Love calling BBS's:
First via landline, and now via telnet. Formally, I was the Sysop of
The Magic BBS, a Local Land Line BBS for many years before Cyberspace. -
My first computer:
I owned was a
Commodore PET,
then a
Commodore Vic-20.
The very first IBM Compatible I owned was a DTK 286, 12MHZ with DOS 3.1 and
no Windows.
