Until last week, there was an activity at the municipal library where you could make a 3D model of a Christmas tree decoration, and get it 3D printed. I didn’t know about it until my partner, who volunteers there, told me. I went!
This is a collection of “visual and hypertext media” by Jake. I really enjoy this idea of preserving websites and keeping your own small museum on the Internet. Maybe inspiring for some ideas.
Found this post today on HN, and came across this post today about writing what the author calls “useless” software. I certainly “vibed” with the post and its discussion on HN. I think that since I started working full time, I haven’t done anything much fun programming-wise outside of work. Not counting my website, but that is what it is.
Someone’s memories of Geocities, what it was, how it worked and how their HTML chat worked. I’ve never gotten to experience this, but it seems it was quite a bunch of fun.
It seems like Windows 98 had this hidden gem where you could send a message to other computers in the network, or even the whole working group.
This article by Austin is quite interesting. He talks about how programming can be seen as a playful thing, instead of making things that have a hard purpose. It reminds me of the time I made a few experiments for fun. I should do that kind of programming again: fun programming. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be web programming either. Just fun, with fun things.
A comical article on how PHP functions and syntax operations would be called if PHP used British English.
A preserved version of a website that has been running since 1986. It is one of the oldest, still-running, websites.
A preserved version of a website with old Internet files, such as zone files, hosts information and domains information.
A very random website with very random things and screenshots from old software.
A preserved website that was nominated Cool Site of the Year in 1997, which explains what is the World Wide Web.
