- markus_zhang 2y agoI have signed many guestbooks of that kind of websites :)
- dylan604 2y agoHTTP only too! It is missing the visitor counter that I immediately looked for upon seeing the design.
- markus_zhang 2y agoYup, I remember that too! Back in the day, about 30 years ago, people actually interact a lot online, even in those guest books, and more sincerely.
- gizajob 2y agoHow do sites like this stay up??
- sosodev 2y agoLow-fi university sites are often maintained by professors who have been around a long time and have a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude. In this case, it appears the author is still active at the university. https://www.higp.hawaii.edu/index.php/people/peter-j-mouginis-mark/ https://www.higp.hawaii.edu/index.php/people/peter-j-mougini...

- cupofjoakim 2y agoFascinating. I wonder what machine is processing the requests...
- petesergeant 2y agoI was hoping this would be a digital nomad program :-/
- 082349872349872 2y agoThere are (or at least were) several incubators on different islands; they'd probably be happy to get strong proposals? Historically it's been useful to argue you need to be out there to do your network protocol research :-)

- cupofjoakim 2y agoThis predates my own web developer journey by a good 15 years, and I found one feature that I'm unsure about how it ever worked. Navigating to "Virtual Field Trips" takes you to http://satftp.soest.hawaii.edu/maps/butbar.map http://satftp.soest.hawaii.edu/maps/butbar.map . At this page you're greeted with what I take is instructions to paint out a frameset? ``` rect index.html 0 0 79 49 rect navnew/navigator.html 80 0 159 49 rect virtual.field.trips.html 160 0 239 49 rect http://radlab.soest.hawaii.edu/satlab http://radlab.soest.hawaii.edu/satlab 240 0 319 49 rect feedback.html 320 0 399 49 ``` It's obviously "shape src x y width height" (or swapped around). I'm having issues finding a resource that explains what this is and why it seemingly worked in a browser in the 90's but not now - i.e. when it was deprecated and to what degree it was supported prior. Does anyone know more?
- mholt 2y agoWhere is that link from? I get an actual HTML page when I go to virtual field trips. Anyway, it looks like an image map.
- dylan604 2y agoClicking on the rect link goes 404. At first I thought image map, but looking at the MDN article makes me think not. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/map https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ma...

- kccqzy 2y agoI thought it was an earlier syntax for the <map> area but apparently not. The earliest syntax is already identical to the current syntax: https://www.actionpa.org/internet/html_extensions_3.html https://www.actionpa.org/internet/html_extensions_3.html
- skykooler 2y agoIs it VRML or something related?
