Welcome to the Zoshe Website. Zoshe was created so I can try to make the world a better place during my life time, which I hope to achieve by developing better software. My first software project will be developing a better web authoring program for website designing, accessibility, and energy efficiency. Afterwards, I'm hoping to start work on a project to develop better imaging software for advance science and medical uses. My other goal is to organize a yearly event to bring unique groups of famous Scientists, Politicians and Entertainers together. I have very little hope for this event, but I'll try anyway. Anyhow, everything started a few years ago after experiencing a vision impairment. Since then I've been working hard from my basement on developing software to make the world a better place.
Currently, Zoshe's website will provide as little as possible content, information and updates to fit my busy schedule. As things progress and I get closer to actually releasing software, I will create a new site to fit this need completely.
Thks 4 visiting my site, and if U need to get in touch with me, please use my contact message page.
Warm Regards
Robert Stack

June 12, 2008 - Wind Storm.
A wind storm hit my town of Maplewood and South Orange NJ on June 10th 2008, and downed many trees and powerlines. The storm lasted about 20 minutes, and caused service outage and blocked roads. My street was one of these blocked roads from downed trees and power lines. Here's some photos of the mess on my block Wind Storm Photo Gallery.

Mar 19, 2008 - Opportunities.
I added some opportunities to develop stuff this summer for the release of the StackSite web authoring software. I'm currently seeking people from May to Aug to perform some freelance work. If you're interested, you can learn more about these opportunities below in the help section.
Oct 29, 2007 Accessibility Technologies.
Accessibility technologies for using personal computers(PCs) has improved greatly. Programs like Apple's VoiceOver or Jaws screen reader, R just amazing technologies. Unfortunately, they don't work well accessing most websites or web based programs. It's a big problem, and it doesn't matter if you're using Windows, Mac, or a Linux PC. It's a issue that affects all PCs. To understand why, here is a video link to http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=955300 which helps explain many of the issues. If U listen long enough to this video, U will learn about the urgent need for content and website creation tools to help fix these issues. These urgently needed content and website creation tools, R what I'm currently working on, and will make available when finished. The first of them will show up in Web Authoring Programs as built-in-tools to automatically create accessible websites. This will allow Computers running accessibility technologies like Jaws screen reader, to improve their access to use and read any website built with these tools. I'm looking for some used Braille equipment being tossed out, or at a very low price, or I can borrow for a few weeks at a time. Please don't lend it to me if U really need it everyday.
About:
Zoshe :
Zoshe is a one man private pre-operation, which is being created by Robert Stack. Which is me. Zoshe is being created because of some sudden vision impairments I developed, which temporally exposed me to the difficulties of accessing websites and using computers with impaired vision. So blah blah blah, it changed my life, and I'm creating Zoshe to develop software programs to make both computers and websites more accessible for people with vision and other impairments. During this time, I also realized a great need for better imaging software for research and medical uses. A need I hope to fill with the creation of Zoshe too. With the creation of Zoshe, I'm also going to try to get famous Scientists, Politicians and Entertainers together for a yearly event. The event is mostly to get these normally separate groups together with the hope to get something positive from it. Presently Zoshe's website will provide as little as possible content, information and updates to fit my busy schedule. As things progress and I get closer to actually releasing software, I will revamp the site to fit this need completely.
Robert Stack :

Software Projects:
StackSite-
Stacksite is a new website authoring program with tools and technologies which allows website designers and developers to design and build graphically accessible websites to improve a site's graphics and usability access for those with or without impairments. It basically allows web designers to create a better graphical website so people with or without any impairments can both access and enjoy your website. The program was built from the ground up with a focus to make building a better accessible website fun. There R many tools and features you will not find in any other program. Many of these tools and features reduce website development cost, and improves the experience of building a website for both novice and professional web developers. The tools were designed to provides a simple and powerful way to create scaliable website graphics, navigation and content which can also be read by screen readers and accessed with special input devices. These abilities are meant to improve the access and usability for people with various vision and/or physical impairments, but also provide a better graphical website experience for those without impairments too. These tools also include and use technologies to increase a website's loading speed, and lowing it's bandwidth needs. This allows a website's server and the user's browser to use less energy and carbon footprint. The program also breaks through many of the design problems with building and maintaining a modern graphically rich accessible website.(GRAW) Effectively dealing with different browser incompatibilities and designs with standards built into it's web authoring tools and it's advanced technologies. The tools include Layouts, Sections, Rows, Columns, Menus, Menubars, Pulldown menus, Breadcrumbs, Content areas, global Snipets, Picture Viewers, Page artwork, Menu artwork, Forms, and a bunch of other cool stuff. Furthermore, which all can be edited and styled in real time without writting code. StackSite is in a working beta stage, and I hope to have it available soon as a plugin for Dreamweaver first and other programs later on. Until then, U can put yourself on my mailing list, and I'll be glad to send U notice when it does become available. Pricing will be FREE to those that Qualify.
StackTracker-
StackTracker is a software program that searches around the internet and reports back to you when it finds websites that may have stolen your javascript programs and artwork. It's based on BlowGo. BlowGo is a technology I
created that can find the smallest traces of your javascript program on someone else's website even if it has been reversed engineered in the attempt to hide it. Currently I'm only going to use this program in-house(IH) to catch unauthorized use of the StackSite programs. I hope to have it available sometime next year. Sorry, this one will not be free.
StackViewer
Since the StackViewer is a fairly simple program, I've decided not to make it a stand alone program anymore. Instead I decided to incorporate it into the StackSite program above as a set of tools to build one. The StackViewer software program is a Picture Viewer, that scales images and eliminates the lag time that normally occurs between picture changes. Whether you decide to use it on a single webpage or through out your website, the StackViewer can be easily customized to meet most personal and business needs. This program will be available as part of the StackSite tools above. Pricing will be FREE to those that Qualify.
Here's a working prototype sample viewer I put together as a model to show one working in a webpage as a basic picture viewer.
Business Ventures:
A few years back I put off starting some new businesses, so I could create software which I felt was needed. At some point in the near future, I'm hopping to launch some of these businesses to help fund my work on a much larger scale. I've done a lot of work on them, and it would be a shame if they never see the light of day. So, I'm mentioning here on the Zoshe website to see if anyone is interested and/or could help in the future potential of these business ventures. If U can, please contact me. The following is a little info of these potential businesses and ventures.
Beverage-
The beverage business is based around a new line of innovative beverage drinks I personally designed and created. It currently has a business plan fully written that reflects these innovative
products that can differentiate themselves in a highly profitable and competitive ready-to-drink beverage market. I will be selling it as a start up business, sometime after I release the software programs above.
Clothing-
This is just a simple line of shirts and hats I designed with both a catchy and innovative concept. The business it self is web based and is designed to require very little marketing effort. I recognize this is a very difficult and trendy business, so I will launch this business myself and then offer to sell it.
I will be selling it sometime after I release the software programs above and shortly after it's launch.
Distributor-
This is a web based Building Supply start-up. It was designed and created by me as a Wholesale Distributor business with no retail.
Using my previous experiences of creating and running a wholesale and mail order plumbing supply, I have already formulated and written a business plan and designed a website with
some amazing things to offer to make buying supplies online simple and easy. I will be selling it as a start up business, sometime after I release the software programs above.
TradeDirectory-
This Is a web based Directory I created using my knowledge of both the building trade industry and my computer programming skills. It's goals, is to fill the need for a web based building trade directory by providing a very easy directory to list and look up businesses solely related to
the building trade industry. The directory is based on some new incredible user interface smart menus that make using the directory amazingly simple and fun to use. I wrote no business plan for this start up business, but
advertisement will certainly be the engine that drives it's revenue stream. Depending on you skill level, three or more people can run the hole thing.
Currently, I have most of the work done with designing and developing it and plan to have it ready for beta stages and for sale soon.
