Zenecho

Welcome to the unfashionable end of the web

In times gone by, if you were a sailor on a boat, mapping the world, and one day whilst becalmed under the burning sun you came upon this place, to hide the boredom and tediousness all around you might just write "here be dragons!" in hope that it might dissuade others from venturing forth....... my advice to you is to start paddling and go back the way you came .

Best viewed with a computer.(not so true nowadays) Last update: End of 2011..ish Major rebuild due to new HD

Please note "last update" only refers to the date and does not indicate that the website has been updated
Nothing probably works as the "zenecho" Domain is constantly being fiddled with, and things just seem to get broken?

No animals were hurt during the making of this website (cat kicking excluded of course)
May contain traces of nut.
This website has been made from 100% recycled binary bits. This also the technical reason why nothing here is new or original. If you have any unwanted 0's or 1's please send them into me

Even though this website has been around in one form or another, since the begining of Dec 1997 (?) not once has it been fair to claim it as finished, its mostly a platform for me to have a bit of a geek fest and to try out things - just because I can! Its also useful as a test bed to work out things that I can use at work or for other websites.

Who or what is Zenecho?

When I was young, naive, and was going to live forever, I was unhappy with my life, the world and the cost of beer. In a vain attempt to "change the world" I decided to change my name. After a great deal of soul searching (I never did find mine) I came up with the very humble - Barron Max Zenecho - Luckily I never did change my name, but the zenecho kinda stuck. I liked the idea of "zen" being a "here and now" type thing and "echo" being a "been and gone" type thing. During my early creative expressionist period (read that as "can't draw or paint") I did sign some art work (a very loose term, no one else would call it art) zenecho. Over the years the name hung around, at the back of my mind.It was not until I started writing my first programs (please see comments about art) that I loosely used Zenecho.

In 1998 I started finding myself doing odd bits of computer based work. Bits here, bits there, mostly for friends. Some time later I was asked to install and integrate an NT4 Server into a small company network. There was a fixed cost for the job but I needed to present an invoice. So Zenecho was born (officially with the tax man anyway) as a small computer consultancy. As they say "don't give up your day job". Zenecho generated small amounts over the next few years but slowly declined mostly due to spending more time doing proper paid work, and my hatred of filling out self assement tax forms. I joined a couple of forums and chose zenecho as my own line name. Due to its use on the Forums the name kinda of stuck. I now have two sets of people, work based - who know me by my proper name and 98% of my friends who know me as "zenecho" or just "zen", Im cool with that.
