The Old Days

I got a kick out of looking at old versions of my web site from the Wayback Machine. Click on a thumbnail to see the full page (if you dare!).

• 12/22/1996: I like the "best with Internet Explorer" button. As strange as that sounds now, it was true at the time; IE had some of the earliest support for CSS and a better rendering engine than most of its competition. At the time, I was contracting at Apple, web sys admin for live music webcasts and the Grammies site. Hand-coded HTML.
   
• 4/18/1999: Fewer nav options, trying to make things simpler for the user. Still butt ugly (though understated for the typical 1999 web site).
   
• 10/21/2000: Now we see "best with any damned browser", the competition was heating up as Netscape got a bit more standards compliant. HTML was generated from a rudimentary CMS I built
   
• 09/02/2004: Not a lot of changes; this was never a destination site. There was a gallery of "tourist guy" images and some homemade screen savers.
   

Over the years I've gone from funky HTML to various CMS schemes, to Joomla, and finally Drupal.
