A blog post from Language Hat pointed me toward a newish (launched earlier this year) web directory that’s been organizing the small/vintage web: Early Web Links. From the About page: “I don’t think the personal web is dead. It’s just scattered and hidden. Early Web Links is my attempt to do something about that. It crawls the web looking for personal, independent, and handmade websites and […]

Boing Boing: No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online “clubs” celebrate plainer websites. “The revived No JS Club celebrates websites that don’t use Javascript, the powerful but sometimes overused code that’s been bloating the web and crashing tabs since 1995. The No CSS Club goes a step further and forbids even a scrap of styling beyond the browser defaults. And there is even the No HTML Club, where […]

I made these in, I think, 1998 in MS Paint and MS GIF Animator, frame by frame, pixel by pixel. They got very popular which also got them a hate page, haha.
In action with an unironic HTML MARQUEE tag: https://www.dronkert.nl/triton/boats.html
On my Rowing Technique page: https://www.dronkert.nl/triton/techniek.php
And at the rigging charts I copied from Steve Redgrave: https://www.dronkert.nl/triton/afstelling.php
(These old pages long since disappeared from the original boat club website that I made.)

Heute mal wieder ins #MultiMedia Buch von #DataBecker geschaut (danke @82mhz) - die Fibel von 1994 zu Multimedia-Treibern, Klängen, Bildern, Animationen, Videos, #Hypertext und #Cyberspace. Und mit CD-ROM! Habe ich mir zum Schulpreis 5. Klasse ausgesucht und waren meine ersten Berührungspunkte mit #MIDI und #VisualBasic. #RetroComputing #VintageWeb
