I started Zak Software in 1982 doing database and programming work after leaving Eastman Kodak where I did roll coating, electronics development, testing and such. I went to Kodak in 1969 because I needed a “real” job – disco had started to kill the live band market. After a 15 year stretch there I decided it was time to start my own business, hence the beginning of Zak Software Inc.

When the net came along I got into it pretty quickly. Started by doing a few web sites and then decided I wanted one. I was working with Maria Friske and David Cowles – they formed our first “graphics department”. I wanted a site to put the various things Zaks and I did and I forget which one (if they every read this and it matters they can let me know) came up with this logo. Taking a look at it through the Wayback Machine at https://www.archive.org/web/web.php it shows what we’ve used it from 1996 to sometime in 1999.

I’ve thought about putting a site up with various stuff and found a copy of the logo. What the heck, it works and geez – it’s an antique.

So this stuff here is just anything I want to put somewhere. Some programming things that I found helpful, maybe they’ll help someone else or just make someone smile.
