loosenut.zip

so yeah. i bought loosenut.zip. ten bucks. i have no idea what im going to do with it but here we are. it felt necessary.

been thinking about going back to basics lately. you know how websites used to just be... a page? someone's page? you'd stumble onto it through a webring or someone's links list and it was just some guy writing about whatever. no algorithm, no engagement metrics, no "content strategy". just a page.

anyway this is my page now. i'm going to write stuff here when i feel like it. no schedule. probably nobody will read it. that's fine actually that sounds great.

the .zip thing is a bit stupid and i love it.

couldn't sleep. made a list.

> hit counters
> "best viewed in 800x600"
> webrings
> the sound a 56k modem made
> geocities neighbourhoods
> "this page is under construction"
> ICQ uh-oh sounds at 1am
> javascript snow effects in december
> animated "email me" buttons
> midi files autoplaying
> guestbooks
> link exchanges
> tiled background images
> "you need internet explorer 4.0 to view this site"
> the guy who ran a fansite for something and clearly knew more about it than anyone on earth

that last one is the one i miss the most honestly. pure undiluted enthusiasm with nowhere better to put it.

hi. i used to have a page back in the day. this is me trying to remember how.

expect: random thoughts, links i like, maybe some photos, definitely some rambling. not expecting anyone to read this. if you found this somehow, hi. leave a note in the guestbook so i know you're real.
