Musings on the Internet how it used to be

I’ve been thinking a bit recently on how the Internet has changed a little bit.В  For instance, I first discovered Google when first introduced to the Internet, by the fact that Yahoo!’s search was back then powered by Google.В  I thought that if the Yahoo! search is being powered by Google, then surely I’d get quicker results by going directly there.В  Now Google owns my life, not only in how I search the Internet, but I recently became the owner of a G1 mobile phone.

Yesterday while I was in the shower, for some reason I started thinking about the designs that have been on this very website in the past. I remember posting a copy of an old design which I found that had been done in MS Word, and other designs had been completed in MS Publisher and Dreamweaver before I started coding the pure HTML of sites.В  One design that I remembered yesterday was composed mostly of lego, where all the page headings and the like were created in Lego and then photographed. I mention designs because I’m currently contemplating switching over to WordPress so I’ve actually got a website that works…

I’ve also been looking at some old websites that are still around, and earlier on today came across this little snippet of text: “If your browser can cope with it, there is a bigger version of this photo (1402Г—1170 pixels, 168 KB).”

I very much doubt that you’d need to put that on images any more…

I’ve also forgotton what the main point of this post was except to say that I’m still alive… Take care all.
