Ascent Stage
a life-in-progress

 

Retrograde

I was shuffling files around recently and came across an archive of my first personal website. It wasn't Ascent Stage, but a site called hypertext :: renaissance (you see, the lowercase and double-colon were edgy) that I built when I was in graduate school in 1996.

Click for annotations and prepare to mock.

Man, I remember that page. I remember Voices from the Interface too. ;-)

Here's my retro:

That's more impressive than it deserves to be given it was 1996.

I think you just started a trend John. I'm going to see if I can find my 1997 one, though it may be far too embarrassing.

Oh wow, that actually is pretty impressive for the time! Consider this far more embarrasing blast from the past, circa 2000:

Life’s a Beach!

...as compared to now:

Gawd, who the heck are those people?

Bizarre thing is that we've been off of DSL for years and yet that oh-so-quality code remains alive on one of our old ISP's servers somewhere out in the ether.
