1996 to 2002, on Freejack's Web and early byte.org

Home pages

My first sites - hand-built in a world-readable home directory on iDirect as ~freejack, then here at byte.org. Fonts, something I inexplicably called a "Brag Sheet", an unofficial IE 4.0 preview site and the occasional rant. Proto-blogging in a lot of ways, and it eventually turned into the real thing.

Freejack's Web

1996 to 2000. My first site, hosted on iDirect as ~freejack (online from 1994, though the oldest copy that survives is from 1996). Hand-written HTML, tiled backgrounds and a lot of enthusiasm.
