I read about

August 2, 2001 by Michael Boyle

the WIRED Rave Awards a couple of places today. So I went to the site. Ugh. It doesn’t work (broken gifs, jerky flash, no hyperlinks even in the web category) and it looks butt-ugly. Orange highlighting a deep grey background is pretty tired as a combo, and anti-fuctionality is so September 2000.

In all the recent discussion

about CSS and adapting web coding practices to adhere to the W3C standards, I haven’t seen much mention of the excellent software (and site, with mucho info) made by Westciv Webware. I don’t code enough to keep everything in my brain through sheer practice, and their site has been my saviour more than once.

Part of the fun

June 20, 2001 by Michael Boyle

of installing a new OS – and a radically different one at that – has been digging through my old files. There are whole folders full of stuff that I literally hadn’t opened in years, let alone used. One of the things I found was the local version of my first ever personal site, which luckily I’d commented pretty well, including the date of first publication and of the last change I made. And it turns out I’ve had a personal site on the web for over 5 1/2 years now.

I’m going to try, in the near future, to make some screenshots of old versions of the precursor to mikel.org – they’re embarrassingly ugly, but kind of fun as well.
