My old homepage from nearly 10 years ago was a page that looked like it was straight out of the late '90s but was entirely valid HTML5 and CSS 3. That included an applet-like rippling water reflection effect beneath a photo of my city at the time, MIDI audio, JavaScript emulating the blink tag, and right-click "image save protection."

It was a total blast to make and people loved it, but being in the tech industry it kind of gave the wrong impression to hiring managers, so I swapped it for a much more boring page.

Nice! Love the MIDI songs.

I've been hankering to make a 90s era web page lately, myself. Just have to sit down and commit one of these evenings.

Tape drive! I had one of those back in the mid to late 90s, salvaged from my dad's dead office PC. I was around 10, and the fact that it worked to take a part from a machine and put it into another, as well as the absolutely insane storage capacity of the tapes... felt like magic. No clue how I knew what to do, either, but it worked.

Edit. Hazy on the specs, but I think it would have been a Pentium 1 (166MHz) with 16MB RAM, and 1.2GB HDD seems about right. Played the heck out of Rayman on that.

Nice website!

I'm thinking of making something similar again someday lol.
