Volatile Graphix Inc (Dan Kramer)
My name is Dan Kramer, and I’ve become an expert on cloaking and programming in Perl and PHP... but I wasn’t always an expert. Way "back in the day" I knew virtually nothing about the internet and thought blinking text and silly graphics were cool. That was back when most web pages still used those types of things and there were very few commercial websites.
I began to develop an interest in web designing, programming and other webmastering issues. A guy at work asked me if I would write a program that would identify search engines and show them a special web page when they visited our website. "No problem," I said, and a few days later, I had written my first, very crude, cloaking script. That was in 1997.
Immediately, I began to see that cloaking had great potential. My first commercial effort in cloaking was KloakIt™ 1.0, released in 1998. Since then, we’ve come a long way and added tons of features that make KloakIt the top-of-the-line program that it is today.
