A little Christmas wonder!
Up until today we discovered 55 pages in the GeoCities archive that were decorated with softly falling DHTML snowflakes. Six of them are now brought back to your browser: by adapting JavaScripts that GeoCities users copy-pasted into their pages, digging up missing snowflake GIFs and other flying objects from the Internet Archive, and rendering midi files to audio.
For detailed notes on changed code, see Dragan’s notes on GitHub.
Please note that some pages feature wonderful auto-playing audio. You will probably have to allow autoplay and reload the page:
