Putting Away Childish Things

2002-05-01 John Winkelman

Well, it’s official. I just put up a placeholder/redirect page at www.eccesignum.com , directing wayward surfers here. I had es.com for two years, through six major and numerous minor iterations. From Photoshop crimes through amazing cross-browser Javascript hacks, to building serious Cascading Style Sheet mojo, to Flash experiments, to this: a full dynamic website.

All that stuff is gone. I have a lot of it stored locally, but I doubt if I will post it, except perhaps in another year or so when I am feeling nostalgic.

In another year no-one will bother to browser-check for Netscape 4, except in the most rabidly conservative shops. If I were my own boss, providing NS4 compatibility would automatically raise the cost of a project by 25%. Just to make the page work. To make it look good would add another 25% to both the cost and the time necessary to complete the project. Dammit!

But that is all water under the bridge. My next two projects for es.o: a content management system, and a fully functioning Flash version, using the same XML you are currently viewing.

Please do what you can to support groups helping those that will now need to travel for reproductive care, like the @BrigidAlliance
