About Me



I first learned about the internet in college in 1995. Shortly after, I started experimenting with HTML and web design until about 1999 during the internet explosion. During that time, there was no such thing as introduction to internet classes. So I had to rely on rouge trial and error, but HTML was easy to learn. There was a computer lab that ran a Solaris server. There was also an old VAX mainframe. I saw four guys carring out one of it's hard drives.

Each student had the potential to create their own homepage, you know, the old www.myserver.com/~johnSmith/ type of site. My first homepage was just a single page. It wasn't much, just a few HTML tags; one short page. That first page remains forever lost...

In 1998 to about 1999 I was trying to find employment bouncing from one temporary position to another. (It is often called freelance web design or colsulting.) Out of fustration, I attempted to create a business web site to try to tap in to the enormous potential that resulted from the internet explosion of 1995. But it was a failer.

Then in spring of 2000, I switched to a different format and decided to keep it a personal hobby site. I started to include programming. This included UN*X shell scripts and basic PERL scripts as CGIs and as SSIs.
