Happy New Year 2009

Friday, January 2, 2009

I wish you all the best for the new year. May your dreams come true, but be careful what you wish for.

And a short time to be there

Before Time

The site entered its message loop sometime in April of 1999, back in the old days of the browser wars. Conceptually, the use of a frameset was all there was. The site grew, and various sections of the site would display in their own windows, until (in 2000, that's the most precise I remember), the presentation of everything was unified, along with the introduction of present-day features like the generated menu.
