It’s been a long time since I did any edits to this website that were not just my Opinion pieces. Tonight I stayed up (among other things) adding some missing Nintendo game entries that I’d never added—despite having already created links to them). 20 year old broken links have started to get fixed. Having a primary computer that is a laptop again helps with spontaneous edits.

The way the web works these days has changed so much. This opinion page started off as plain HTML before I switched over to adding entries to a database. I think switching to my own hosting at that point allowed me to add more sophisticated components once I moved off of Lycos’ free Tripod site. That was to host it on my very own iBook (G3, Late 2001—have I talked about this elsewhere?). This site is still mostly composed of static HTML files, however. Ugh. It irks me a bit to copy entire pages with all the menus and stuff copied along with it. Perhaps that discourages me a bit from restructuring the site more unless I made it much more dynamic. But, I really don't touch it that much to justify the effort, probably. Oh, also, MIDI and QuickTime files with unsupported codecs are no longer how you put together a website. Social media really seems to have filled in that gap for most folks.

I created CCS Site to share a bit more about me and the things I loved. I haven't done that enough. Sunflowers are sorely missing from mention in the site (though I have a picture or two). I’m not sure though, if I should continue developing this site or leave it as a testament to the time period in which it was envisioned. I really do get a kick out of seeing <frameset> and <font> tags when I peek at the source…
