Who am I?
I'm a nerd, a geek, and a dork with a passion for technology. I have both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Information Technology with concentrations in Networking, Information Assurance (Information Security), and Digital Forensics. I tutored IT students at Middle Georgia State University for seven years before taking on the role of an Academic Success Coach in 2025. My hobbies include vintage computers, classic cars, estate sales and trifting, and trips to the beach.Why the 90s?
In a word, nostalgia. I was born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s, so I have fond memories of what the World Wide Web was like during its early days. Long before social media sites like Facebook, Twitter (X?), and the like, anyone wanting their own little slice of the Internet could build and host a Website for free on sites like Angelfire, Geocities, and Tripod, among others. Amazingly quite a few examples of these early personal Websites still exist; you just have to know where to find them. Modern sites such as neocities provide an amazing space for early World Wide Web veterans and new blood alike to create and share their own Websites with the world.I started coding this site in 2020 while teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic. I needed a project that would stimulate and exercise my mind. HTML is a very easy language to pick up, but writing ancient versions of HTML... well... that's another story entirely, especially when you're used to writing and tutoring HTML5. Much of what we take for granted with modern versions of HTML simply wasn't possible with such early versions as HTML 3.0. Coding for this Website required some serious digging and research in order to produce code that was as close to the HTML 3.0 "standard" as possible. I put "standard" in quotes because there wasn't really a standard for HTML 3.0 until HTML 3.2. That said, I had already made the decision to write this site in HTML 3.0, and by golly, I was going to see it through!
My original plan was to target Internet Explorer 3.0 while writing my code in a way that would be compatible with all major Web browsers. Little did I know at the time that such a weirdly specific goal would present so many unique challenges! If you wish to replicate my folly, please, do yourself a favor; use HTML 3.2 or something newer. Also, while targeting vintage Web browsers is a fun challenge, I would probably choose Internet Explorer 4.0 as a starting point if I were to attempt this same project again.
