This is an old picture of me. Welcome to my home page.

Who is Stephen Corbesero?

He was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1961. A Libra baby.
He moved to Reading, Pennsylvania with his family at the age of ten when his father got a job there. What a shock to discover that the railroad on Monopoly had nothing to do with reading.
He attended the schools in Exeter Township. He developed his love of computers in high school when he helped them get two first generation minicomputers -- Polymorphic Systems 88, each with a whopping 20Kbytes of memory (we sprang for the 4K upgrade!) with BASIC and Assembly Language.
He attended college at Lehigh University where he graduated in 1983 with a B.S. in Computer Engineering and again in 1985 with a M.S. in Computer Science.
After college, he stayed at Lehigh to be the systems manager for the VLSI lab at Lehigh in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS)department.
In 2001, he left to pursue a chance to become a tenured professor of computer science at Moravian College in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Back at Lehigh, the EECS department was in the process of splitting into two separate departments: Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Computer Science and Engineering.
Which brings us to now. In what I refer to as "bait and switch", I was denied tenure and now on the job market.

As mentioned above, I am currently seeking for a job. You can check out my resume. In a perfect world, I can end up back in academia, but I am would also enjoy any challenging work environment where I can excel as a Unix Systems and/or Network Administrator or Unix Software Developer. I would consider full- and part-time, permanent, contract, or consulting jobs and projects. Having grown attached to my house and life in the Lehigh Valley, hope to find a job that is local or at least within commuting distance of Bethlehem.

I have three pets.

Pictures

My first is Cursor. Cursor is Rottweiler and German Shepherd mix. We think he was born on April 15th, 2000, so I will always think of him as my special tax refund. Cursor as a puppy..
Cursor grown up Cursor full grown..

My second dog is Chip. I found Chip on my way home from dinner one night. I was not too far from home when I saw a small black dog running in the street. At first I wondered if Cursor had somehow gotten loose. I opened the door, and this cute little black lab looked at me with "take me home" eyes. What could I do? I said "hop in" and took him home. Cursor was not too pleased when we came in, but he has learned to co-exist and even like his little brother. Chip, age 5

Finally, I have a little white cat named Pixel. I also found Pixel in the road one night. When she refused to stay on the side, I knew I had to take her home. Cursor was not all pleased when I brought the cat in. He ran towards me, and the cat signified her displeasure by biting my thumb. I quickly got the cat upstairs into my master closet. After a month or so she started to venture out. By three months, she would even come downstairs as long as I was there to referee. The dogs have accepted her, and we are one big happy family.

Being a single person, or "between dysfunctional relationships" as I like to say, I tend to eat out. As a result, I have decided to write down some of my comments on Lehigh Valley restaurants.

Here's a funny wave file about Windows '95. It is about 300K.
