Nice to meet you!
Hello, I am Lammert Bies, the owner of this site. I was born 40 years ago in the small Dutch village Donkerbroek. Until
recently I have lived there, but since my wedding in 2003 things have changed rapidly. Six years ago I met a woman in
Kazakhstan and although cultures are different, we both have the feeling that we can have a very bright future together.
We are currently building a house, farm and hotel in the mountains in Kazakhstan and at the moment I am replacing the Netherlands
slowely for a new life in Central Asia.
This doesn't mean that I will stop my activities as a computer programmer. My broad customer base, distances that are getting smaller because of modern communication techniques and the type of work I am doing make it possible to continue working, almost independent of the place on earth where I am. In Kazakhstan we currently welcome a constant stream of tourists who mainly through internet became interested in visiting the beautiful region where we live. Also interested? You can read more about the possibilities in Kazakhstan at www.wild-natures.com.
Since 1992, I am developing software for technical and telecommunication applications. According to my business card, my job title is Managing Director. Did you have that in mind when you saw my photograph first, huh? Never judge on a face only!
Well, general manager does not mean I'm managing a lot of people. It does effectively mean I am managing a lot of work: financial administration, brewing coffee for my customers, cleaning my office now and then and even sometimes developing some pieces of software. Reading this it looks that being alone in a company is hard, but insiders told me that managing people is still harder than managing work. Therefore, I will keep it this way for a while ...
