Chief Bookdog
Our Chief Bookdog is Colette's bearded collie. She got him out of the Humane Society of Santa Clara Valley shelter when he was about 2 years old, in 1998.
"The smartest guy in the room"
Chief Engineer
Chief Engineer Jerry Krinock has a MSEE degree from Wayne State University in downtown Detroit, MI and also has 20 years experience designing modem hardware, firmware, algorithms and control systems for lightwave and microwave telecommunication products. He contributed to IEEE Standard 802.16 and has been awarded six patents, although he admits that these patents were the kind you get when management is trying to sell off a product line and calls a meeting to annouce, "we'd like to patent some of this stuff" [so that the analysts can check that box when calculating our value]. He is a member of IEEE and Santa Clara Swim Club Masters.

Commitment to Quality
Most software is licensed "as is", or as Microsoft says in the license agreement for Offic:mac 2004, AS IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS. By contrast, Sheep Systems' products are guaranteed to work, and it says so in your license. I achieve this by methodical design and careful testing.
During the public beta test of Bookdog 4.2, after 1200 downloads, only one bug was reported, but it turned out to be an old bug that I fixed, as usual, the next day.
On two separate occasions, single users had reported some unbelieveable bugs in reviews of Bookdog. As part of the quality commitment, I replied to the reviews offering $100 USD rewards to anyone that could reproduce the reported bug. But no reward claims have ever been received.

Until 2010, the development team usually relaxes by running around the neighborhood after a hard day's work, looking for lost sheep, cats, and squirrels. While chasing a car one day in is 13th year, his left hind leg stopped working. He is fine now, after the authorities in the house decided to spring for some very expensive knee surgery. Don't do this with an older dog…
