Web Site Archive
Ever since my family got Internet access in the mid-90s and our ISP gave me space to host a web site, I’ve fought with HTML, CGI, CSS, and then eventually led to the inevitable conclusion that JavaScript is terrible and weird and web development will never be for me.
Remarkably, I managed to keep pretty decent copies of the various web-sites and stylings from 1999 to 2004 and have curated them here. Each page has some lovingly hand-crafted JavaScript injected to help make the experience more enjoyable. The JavaScript adds:
- A floating, expandible info bar at the top with the site name, approximate original publish date, developer commentary, and a list of links on the page.
- Handling of dead links to save the viewer from trying to navigate to pages/sites that no longer exist.
- Other tricks to try to get these old, dusty pages to appear to come back to life.
Links to the web sites are below. Bon appétit!
