Smotricz Sensational Software is essentially a one man software shop owned and operated by Carl Smotricz, with occasional help from friends. In official parlance, I am an independent consultant currently based in the Black Forest and in Frankfurt, Germany. You can see my motto to the left: I prefer simple, effective, often low-tech solutions. This could mean:

• Why use Java when an animated GIF will look the same, and load faster?
• Why store a single table in a relational database when a sorted file holds the same data with almost no overhead?
• In the extreme case, why use a computer when you can do it faster and cheaper by hand?

In the meantime, perhaps you might be interested in what I do, or in sharing some of my favorite Web sites?
