  April 2004 — December 2005 (1 year 9 months)

  developed a new PHP session module that provides correct system failure handling for stateful PHP applications. EOS: Exactly-once Web-Service. Can you imagine a zero-data-loss unstoppable service based on PHP and Microsoft Internet Explorer, where the end users never see backend failures. A service where a frontend failure just means reconnect and go on as if the failure never happened. And service that is based on mathematically verified recovery protocols. This is all EOS.
