There was a music compilation album called "Ultimate Dance" from 2004 that my family listened to. I maintain a YouTube Playlist with all the songs, some were difficult to track down, being that they are all published before 2004, and many are not of English origin.

I enjoy photography as a hobby, and uploaded my photos to my deviantArt gallery up untill about a year ago, I had just got my new camera and uploaded some photos to my gallery when I got damn pissed off, it suddenly hit me how damn slow it was, add to that how they have removed features and just made the site worse over time.

And with my new camera and larger photos it was just the last straw.

I just wanted to ho back to the mid 2000s internet with simpler web design not wasting my time with countless scripts and tracking crap.

I just wanted a simple but good looking index page linking to galleries of my photos.

So I kicked my HTML/CSS skills into high gear, put w3schools in my browser and started coding, it took a few weeks as I was learning as I went, but i got a nice looking index page with some CSS fun stuff, then I started generating photo galleries with digiKam and uploaded it all to an old school web hotel.

And I got what I wanted, it is basically instantanious loading pages and content, the galleries I use work excellent with arrow keys and you can even swipe back and forth if you are on mobile.

The index page looks fantastic on desktop, but is a jumbled mess on mobile, I don't care, it is my page and I am happy with it.

It is a semi private page, I don't advertise it, but I have it on my CV to show my hobby.

Care to share?

I haven’t been on dA for at least 10 years. I used to upload to Flickr regularly, but now everything I post is on IG and I keep telling myself I will make a photo portfolio someday.

I should be able to remove my name from the code and upload it to Github.

Word of caution though, you can only edit the page in by editing the HTML code directly.
