wtfF0nzie: @davidconde I was going to say 'what rain' until I saw a spectacular flash of lightning and the associated downpour! Just great :)

Web development. Typically the application of generous amounts of skill, intellect and time into the manufacture of transient, commodity, 'pages'. Sadly, unlike a great work of literature or an enduring piece of cinema, web sites do not stand the test of time. "Internet time" corrodes even the best at an alarming rate leaving legacy, something to be cherished in almost every other industry, a striking and jarring liability.
Embarrassed by ones past...
As any industry or endeavor grows, missteps are to be expected. Directions become dead-ends and good intentions become fouled by stinking reality. But it's not always bad!
During the recent decommissioning of a pretty old web hosting account I came across some ancient gems. Long forgotten websites that I'd held dear 10 years ago. After a hearty laugh I decided to share ...
Deziddon.com (version 3)
(re)Introducing the third iteration of my personal website ...
A small, simple website with an odd navigation scheme built prior to my HorizonDM days. It was also the last version of my site that featured the controversial school magazine cover that caused so much hardship many moons ago. Among the giggle worthy items are a twitter like news stream, a mailing list sign-up and the good old fashioned guest book!
