30 years on the web
1996 David, meet 2026 David.
The fact that I can’t be bothered to compose a grand nostalgic tome celebrating the 30th birthday of this site (or at least of the site that became this site) suggests that I perhaps don’t care quite as much as I probably should.
Thanks to all of you who are still around, who have talked to me over the years, offered support through major geographic and career changes, a major coupling and uncoupling, a slight case of cancer, the death of two parents, many relatives and friends, and three decades of major tech changes. I’m glad my URL no longer has a tilde in it. And I rather enjoy being an “internet elder” who’s still working in IT and can actually still hand-code HTML if I have to.
It’s been a pretty wild ride, and I’ve been doing this for the majority of adult life, even though I don’t do it much anymore. I guess I’ll keep at it for while. And anyway, the other site is still very active.
