I’ve maintained a personal website since I got to college in 1998. My first few sites were hand-coded html and resided on the university’s Solaris server. Along the way, I tried Geocities, Microsoft Front Page, Dreamweaver, Blogger, and iWeb. At no point during the first decade did I manage to create a readable website.

This page is wonderfully bad. All it’s missing is an “under construction” animated gif. And WTF was I thinking when I collected these “ very useful or interesting links.” Ponderous. - August 2001
I think I built this page by hand with html and css. If you click around you’ll see I was into fencing at this time. - December 2001
A friend helped me build this version using Dreamweaver. Each cell of the navigation menu was an image, but they don’t all show up here. I probably have a copy of the original code on a Zip Drive somewhere. - May 2004
This is the only remaining evidence that I wrote my own blogging engine in PHP. The project lived at a different URL which was not scraped by archive.org. - August 2004
Looks like I tried Blogger for the first time. Wow, I’d totally forgotten that I’d written about my trips to Italy and Mexico.

This one was built with iWeb and lived on shared hosting somewhere.

I used Octopress, etc., on these domains. I’ve done scripted migrations from one platform to the other, but it looks like some of my old posts are missing.
