Ludwig教授是Lotus Notes的狂热爱好者,他自称从没有使用过Microsoft Office, 所有的文档全部使用Lotus Notes撰写. 这需要相当大的耐心:) Ludwig教授自己创办了两家公司,从事基于Notes的应用软件开发和服务, 他本人以及他的公司和IBM Lotus保持着良好的关系. 教授的主要创意是一套基于Notes的个人Activity管理工具,通过Activity概念,按照个人的偏好,把邮件,文档,chat,等等东西有效的组织起来. 并且完全给予Lotus Notes进行2次开发来实现. 使用Notes完成activity的一个很大好处是支持offline应用. IBM Lotus自己也有一套基于Activity的应用, 现在命名为Lotus Connections, 但是是基于Web的, 带来的一个问题就是无法支持offline.
教授有一个年轻美丽的华人妻子:) 并在Developerworks上开了一个blog:
