Welcome to my website. At last I have my own plot on the World Wide
Web, a sort of virtual allotment. In time, I will add more once I have
dug it around and decided where to plant it all.
For a start though, I have
consolidated my various websites have nurtured over the course of the last
12 years on their own little cornet plots somewhere in the far-flung reaches
of the WWW (all linked to on the right) and which faced extinction once
Yahoo decided to pull the plug on Geocities. The venerable Geocities
website hosting service goes back a long, long way in terms of Web history -
I remember when they allowed free websites like mine up to 2Mb total
filespace - Wow! sometimes I nearly had time to see it all before the
tiddly copper cable fell over at 33kbs, later 56kbs. We never had it
so good. The website allowance did magnify over time, indeed The
West
End Cricket Club site alone grew to 25mb just a few seasons later....!
I also recall my first three pages of text
hyperlinked together which constituted the WECC website, which amounted to
"hello world", "who we are" and the mighty "fixture list", all lovingly
crafted using Netscape Composer from the Navigator suite you once paid for.
This was before the mighty Microshaft bludgeoned it to death by first giving
IE away, then incorporating IEv4 into Windoze 95 OSR2 onwards. The
blighters! At least Firefox remains a highly useful browser (no
bias then - ed). So
what's next? I might add some of my boring photo collection, or add
other ideas rambling through my disorganised brain (ooh Matron, it hurts) as
a bit of fun, experimentation, or purely for the hell of it. It's my
plot and if you don't like it I'll take the ball home with me. Anyway,
in the meantime, click on one of the links to view one of the copious sites
I rescued from oblivion which current versions now reside here. Drop
me a line or leave a message on my
Blogspot page - If you're really that bored, that is...! |
