…and he had a bunch of websites, some dating back almost ten years.* Most of these sites came and went over greater and lesser periods of time, generally reflecting for the the changing tastes, enthusiasms and MTV-style attention span of their author. Some them only existed as vague ideas, because if there’s one thing the author found hard to resist, it’s the temptation to purchase a domain name just because it sounds cool.***
Then there was flamingmongrel.net, the oldest of them all. Home to countless revisions, tens of thousands of lines of code, Flash applications, database disasters, bad jokes, fake boy bands, superhero names and machines that go ‘ping’.
And now here it is again. I’m returning to a blog format for no particular reason other than I like WordPress very much, and I’m especially fond of this theme by Drew Stauffer and Alibi Productions – see the footer for more info. The main intention is to draw together links to other sites, old work and the occasional new experiment in a common place but who knows, maybe I’ll throw some content up here from time to as well.
*10 years! Holy crap, it’s hard to believe it’s been that long** since my boss woke me at 3am to bawl me out for not being psychic and to ponder the great mysteries of the universe, such as why he employs useless cunts like me.
**Actually, it’s only been 9 years, but that’s near enough for the purpose of rounding off to a nice even number.
*** And so now the internet is host to such tiny wonders as eroticstickfigures.com and doyouthinkishouldeatthis.com
