Reminds me of the time I was using Microsoft frontPage. now CSS and js frameworks have become a science of its own that reinvents itself every two years.

Got my first computer in 92 so I have 35 years of experience.

I played a shitty port of Street fighter 2 on it an Lucas arts adventures

When can I start, work is a joke to me and I can figure anything out quickly.

Scrolly words of yore

Parts of my old AngelFire website is still archived. A horrible mess of Comic Sans, black backgrounds with lime green and dark red or purple text, animated gifs, auto-playing sounds, frames and pretty much any and all features of HTML, especially things you never really saw being used like blinking and color changing text that wasn't just an image.

Too bad none of the Klik'n'Play games I made and had uploaded there are able to be downloaded... I kinda want to be reminded exactly what the Pikachu virtual pet I made was like in all it's cringe glory. Though Nintendo would probably be sending an army of lawyers up my ass rn if it was.

Oh God I am sure my websites are gone. I hope so

If your site didn't have marquis text then it wasn't worth visiting.

Is she sweating because she's insecure about her knowledge, or is she sweating because she fears a followup question into WHAT she did?

She’s sweating because she has a disorder that makes her sweat at random moments. Everyone always reads too much into it.

For those interested Neocities is a modern equivalent. The homepage has some featured pages linked you can browse if you are looking to kill time.

I remember when forms were added. I think it was more than 18 years ago though. There were still WWW conventions at the time.

That didn’t help me feel younger

A common problem, I'm afraid.

No shame in being self taught.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

There should be pride in being self taught. Although it's hard to do it ~~hard~~ right (as in: do your own research).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

and geocities and myspace

Okay but that is adorable and true XD

The old internet taught us so many random skills. I couldn't type on a keyboard for jack until I got into MMO's back in the day, because it was pre voice comms. So I learned to type faster so I would struggle less XD

I learned everything I know from CSShelp the Kougra. It's a shame that her page has since been replaced with the species default. It was such a great resource.
