This takes me back to the days of forum signatures, planetrenders.com, pixel fonts with 1px strokes, making emoticons ( not emojis) on deviantArt, BBCode and making long-winded posts on VBulletin/PhpBB boards with the top three posts "reserved for later use". Man I wish I could go back.
What's stopping us?

If I kinda deeply think about it - I post may be one post every 2 months. Why the hell do I need a blogging CMS or static site generator, etc? Just craft a HTML page. You can just write it by hand. #header_h1 ...is it that much more work to write header_h1? Especially, every once in 2 months!? Each blog post would be custom. And AWESOME and set in stone. "What if I need to update the header on every single page?" Just don't. No need to update the theme ever. It's like writing a hand written letter, once you put the ink down, it's done. Mail it.

"Under Construction" images, rotating skull and fire GIFs...

I used to "hand-craft" HTML. Literally, writing it and no templates so each page is unique. Gallery page was manually updated.

I was surprised to not find any X10 ads in there, but I guess they just never did small GIFs. Some of their examples from back in the day http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~kuan/x10.html

I've been doing this for a while and it's great. If you know a few tricks (optional closing tags, for example), writing HTML by hand can actually be rather pleasant. Go for it!
Overtime it evolved and got cooler! But, there was no need to go back and update old posts.
I think charm about this is severely underrated as seen by the downvotes.

Interestingly all of those images seem to be for their camera products. But long before those, X10 sold remote control systems that switched devices on/off over in-home electrical wiring (using the independent X10 protocol). The reliability of these systems were pretty bad as I recall. They offered something like 16 channels with various management devices that allowed for complicated scheduling of device switching.
