At 1997, when I was just going to graduate from my university, our dean asked me if I would like to work for him to create one of the first ISPs in our city of Ukhta. I said yes, that would be cool, because at that time there were no to little Internet presence in the city (well, I myself had no Internet access in neither office nor home).

Long story short, I was working as a main tech guy, setting up Ciscos and the web/mail/whatever server. I also created a company web site, just for fun, and then another, better one. Company name (Severtelecom, "sever" in Russian is "north", half of the local companies were named Sever-something) was chosen before, but I was free to create a logo and a slogan.
