Today is the 10th anniversary of my first homepage.
Turned in as an assignment for Rich Muller’s “Networks, Computers, and Stories”. The class was supposed to be on hypertext fiction but a strong geek contingent in the room spent our time fiddling with cgi-lib.pl, imagemagick, and building galleries of background patterns. (Seth Mills-Cannon’s I think was definitive of the genre, even today)
In fact, I’m not sure I ever got to the story piece, but the homepage did have randomly rotating graphic sets, random fortune quotes, and the current time (using non-parsed header animated graphics of course). Much more advanced then this current page of mine.
Thankfully it was lost to history.
