when it worked at 33.6 kbps...

I wonder if there's some way to simulate the row by row image loading. I guess that's not the point of this website, but that would make me feel nostalgic.

Don't forget progressive JPGs, which loads the entire height of the image over and over with gradually increasing detail.

Brought a smile to my face. Outside of the silly nostalgia, I do appreciate the personal blog/websites that are very minimal in their theming, while still looking modern and clean. The silly old geocities days were fun but, it's nice to have readable text too.

For me, it specifically brought a smile to my face, made it yellow, and put visible hearts in my eyes :).

I love the point the site is trying to make but I'm confused as to why this is built with a vue.js static site generator requiring node/npm/yarn and an almost 7,000 line yarn.lock file.

Shouldn't this literally be a single page, hand-built HTML file with inline CSS? Is this trying to be self-ironic or something?
