I found an Ask HN this morning about googling yourself, so I did. And found that my old personal site was proper broken.
No surprise, since it was written in Cold Fusion and built to run on Internet Explorer 4 and Netscape Navigator 3, and thus relied heavily on document.all and such. So I fished most of it out of the wayback machine and taught it about document.getElementById() and some other things. I thought it might be fun to have a look back at what passed for cutting edge back in the day.
Surprisingly, many of the demos ran faster on a Pentium 1 running IE4 than they do today in Chrome or Firefox on the fastest machine you can buy.
I'll stick around to answer questions, though sadly I lost the source for the real-time networked version of the Joust game, so I won't be able to take anybody on head to head.
