Origins of the Domain Name

When I formed my company in 2007 I wanted my family to be part of my journey. As a symbolic gesture I decided to include their personal names when naming my company. I used the first three letters of their first names; Lori, Ethan and Asha; and put emphasis on the first initial of our family name (T) to come up with the name for my company; Lore-T-Hash. Even though this company no longer exists, I still own this domain (www.lthash.com). On April 5, 2016 I decided to bring this domain back to life and use it for my own personal blogging.

About me

My name is Pavan Thakran. I am co-founder of an internet startup in the Education Sector called K-12 Integrated. We are in the early stages of product development and are working towards a soft-launch of our product in time for the 2017-2018 school year.

About this blog

In spite of being in the technology sector for over 20 years I have never had the opportunity, nor felt the need, to develop my own website. That changed when I decided to venture into the web world with K-12 Integrated. Yesterday (Apr 4, 2016), I decided to teach myself HTML5, CSS, PHP, jQuery and JavaScript. I am going to use this forum for sharing my experiences with you.
