Site history
I thought it’d be interesting to take a look at how this site has looked over the last few years. As I completely neglected to document my own site over time, I’ve had to rely on the Wayback Machine to get the browser shots below.
Circa 1999. Website done as a fake
whoami(1)
man page. To this day I think this is
the coolest home page I’ve had.
2002/2003: I was
going for extreme simplicity. That’s yours truly with hjcanning
in the photo at left; the photo’s from September 2001. This is
also a good example of my inability to decide between
light-on-dark or dark-on-light.
2003/2004: I did a big rewrite in which I tried to capture what I was interested in researching etc. Color flip-flopping continued. I think the text on my about page is a fairly distant descendant of the text here.
