web The Linkfest

Posted July 30, 2009 • Comments Off on The Linkfest

More than ten years ago, when lots of web links were 88-by-31-pixel mini-banners, I made a webpage of a bunch of them, just because I thought it would be funny.

It was, of course.

I just found it.

I’ve made one small change to it, which is to use a little CSS to make it narrower, so you can see how big it was on a monitor of the day. The rest of it is just as it was on January 31, 1999, at 8:07 pm, the last time it was edited.

Click here and enjoy it. It takes a minute to load, even now (imagine it then). The links still work.

general Poor thing.

I just got to a post from November 27, 2005, when things were not going well at all, and caught myself saying, out loud, “Oh, sweetie.”

To myself.

Because I felt so bad for her.

This is a link to the old post, from February of 2006.

Here’s what I like:

Sometimes I miss being younger and more carefree, and very occasionally I think it might have been fun to go to school in DC (Lisa thinks this a hundred percent; I’m not really on board). Then I get home to the admittedly distant suburb where I live and where I have scads of space for my books, and I think about the fact I met my best friends and found my life’s work at a university with cows, and I think it’s probably better this way.
