ten-year webiversary

15 Jan 2005

I realized today that it was about ten years ago that I developed my first personal website on the Internet. While my earliest pages--from 1994, hosted at Digex--no longer seem to be available (I can't locate them in the Internet Archive), in 1995 I moved to my own domain, elfintech.com, and the Internet Archive aka the Wayback Machine has several copies beginning with a version from mid-1996, then titled "The Elfwood."

Until Thom pointed it out on his blog, I had forgotten about the existence of the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Let's take a look at my website over the last few years.

How very creepy -- and useful -- to find that someone has archived your websites. I couldn't find my original site from back in, believe it or not, 1994 -- it was plain text with no images, I remember how amazing Mosaic was back then, and my ex set up the whole thing, showing me the magic of the shell account using a terminal program... wow. Times have changed.
Back then it was ari.net; now we've all got our own domains. Heck, I have more than a dozen domains and two webservers of my own. What will we have ten years from now, I wonder?

About me

Thom Watson was born in a "pro-America" part of the country but then grew up to become a gay, liberal, Harvard-educated atheist living in northern California. He has come to terms with the fact that this pretty much disqualifies him from ever holding public office.
