Man, I would be so pumped if I could find my old tripod site. I've looked before but I forgot the username and could never find it. One night as a young teen I decided to read a book "html for dummies", not knowing that 20+ years later the decision would pay off big!
Also, <marquee> tag and site counter's for life!
- gothroach 7y agoDon't forget the venerable <blink> tag and the obligatory "Under Construction" GIF.
- reaperducer 7y agoAnd the .shtml guestbook.
- nicolaus 7y agoI always read that in my mind as “shit mill” am I alone?
- deleted 7y ago[deleted]
- reaperducer 7y agoI read it as "sheet metal" because there was an HTML editor of the era called "Hot Metal."
- randomdude402 7y agoIt was "dot shitmeal" for me.
- paulmd 7y agoor load-bearing CGI and perl... (perl's OK, CGI had a lot more server side injection risk from what I remember)
- post_below 7y agoCGI as in "Common Gateway Interface" or CGI.pm? If the former, the injection vulnerability would be in the script talking to the server/database via CGI, rather than in CGI itself. If the latter I don't remember any major unpatched vulnerabilities in CGI.pm, but it was epically inefficient.
- paulmd 7y agoah, the early days... https://i.imgur.com/7mr0vjQ.gif https://i.imgur.com/7mr0vjQ.gif in seventh grade we had a "web" class that, as an assignment, wanted us to find "pen pals" on the internet (lmao great idea), and to make a personal site about whatever. I made an Escape Velocity site. Lots of under construction gifs even when I submitted it.
- hnuser123456 7y agoI made a "smoke games" store page. It didn't have a functional shopping cart or anything, just basic HTML with some frames.
- dessant 7y ago> Lots of under construction gifs Which ones were your favourites? http://textfiles.com/underconstruction/ http://textfiles.com/underconstruction/
- bartread 7y agoWow. My eyes. The variety is tremendous.
- holler 7y agoLOL wow, I totally forgot about that! I had more than a few pages with "under construction" including black and yellow striped image.
- paulmd 7y agogoogle has a searchable cache of the internet from like 2004 as they crawled it, and they put it up once or twice for nostalgic giggles. they really should put it up for science, so you can look up the shit that's been keyword-buried since then.
- adreamingsoul 7y agoSame here.
- rodolphoarruda 7y agoI could say the same about my old Geocities site...
- olliej 7y agoI wish I could find my old geocities site - it had some early (win3.1) apps I wrote. IIRC they were not good.
