A goddess. All of the above and more: Frisch has a B.S. in Literature from
Caltech as well as a
Ph.D. in
English and Cultural Studies from the University of Pittsburg. Her research obsession is the literary and cultural
analysis of late 18th century scientific and political
texts. Her first paying job was administration of four
VMS VAXs supporting Intergraph CAD-CAM workstations and she is currently
Lord High of a heterogeneous
UNIX and PC farm.
She is the author of the "Systems Wrangler" column in RS/Magazine, is a
poet and an artist, and digs
murder mystery games. But wait, there's more! (phrick, I feel really lazy now). She is the co-author of 'Exploring
Chemistry with Electronic
Structure Methods' and has written many technical manuals and articles, including a multipart piece on 'Maximizing
Linux Security' in Issue 21 of the
Linux Journal. Frisch is writing a novel and plans to write a beginning
programming book for
children age 10-ish.
