Welcome to my Tilde Club WWW space! My name is Joe and I have been using the World-Wide Web since 1994 and making pages on it since 1996 and I really like it.

The World-Wide Web is a hypertext-based, distributed information system created by researchers at CERN in Switzerland. See also www.w3.org

Updates

December 2024

• I revamped two websites. Both started years ago as pages on artlung.com and made their way to subdomains. There, I could ignore them. And this year, they have been exhumed and polished up! And so: Smorgasborg is a collection of random stuff. It's not on GitHub. And THE LAB is also a collection of random stuff, with a more programming, especially web programming focus. It is on GitHub
• I'm particularly proud of my recent page about Webmentions.
• There have been a few more Front End Study Hall events since then. Still wonderful.
• I started making videos of myself haphazardly doing the daily CSS Battle. @artlung on YouTube
• San Diego IndieWeb Camp 2024 was a delight! Excellent people and excellent ideas at an excellent local zine publisher and shop: Burn All Books & Friends.

November 2024

• I am still blogging.
• I have added a number of IndieNews pieces.
• I'm still going in the water.
• My website continues to evolve including more stuff pulled into my WordPress instance.
• I'm doing videos on YouTube.
• I love doing CSS Battles!
• I added support for accepting webmentions via webmention.io.
• The code for this Tilde.Club page is now on GitHub

July 2024

It's Comic-Con month. It ought to be fun! Rock on people!

June 2024

FrESH is ongoing and fun to host. I've learned a lot.

I will be going to San Diego Comic-Con in July. And I'll be going to XOXO Festival in Portland in August. That's nifty.

May 2024

I took over maintenance of blogofthe.day

I added to my github profile

Since my last update the first and a second Front End Study Hall were run. They were both great. And another is upcoming! I created a new header. The water in the ocean is getting a bit warmer too. Life is pretty good.

April 2024

I have a new gig I'm enjoying. And I'll be doing a learning and teaching event I call "Front End Study Hall" this month and I hope it'll be fun and useful.

March 2024

Now I have a Guestbook again, and a Contact form too, you know, for the attempted spammers.

I had fun updating the Blog Visualization on my site. So many years blogging! Who knew Instagram was the majority of what I'm doing for many years?

Updated my Cosplay page

February 2024:

I wrote about updating this page over on my other website.

I added a "Lincoln Baio." I think that's what people are saying when they say that.

I added a tiny style sheet.

2014:

It's fun to make little web pages.

About This Site

Why does this page look old?

It's written in HTML 2.0, an older spec. HTML 2.0 was created in 1995 (RFC 1866). It works just fine. The great thing about conforming to an HTML standard is that it's likely to keep working in decades later.

HTML 2.0 referred to style sheets being linkable in LINK tags: "<LINK> hyperlinks may also be processed without explicit user request; for example, style sheet resources may be processed before or during the processing of the document."

It would be another year before a browser shipped CSS.

Fun fact: In HTML 2.0, the allowed attributes of the <IMG> tag are only ALIGN, ALT, ISMAP, and SRC.

HTML 2 was superseded in 1997 by HTML 3.2. Also now superseded.
