It is a very special feeling to find pages that are dead, that died before Geocities was killed, but with still intact calender scripts showing the current date. Even if the calculation is buggy. Like unwrapping a mummy, and suddenly it opens its eyes.

To have a Javascript put the current date and time on a web page is common web design sickness, because computers show this information in all possible places anyway. But it is a powerful tool to spook web archeologists.

Triple Background Maker ⁋ by olia

+ + + + + 2011-03-11

“Triple Backgrounds are what everyone wants to use on their sites now.”

Backgrounds by Marie is a family business. You can use Maries’s set’s and graphics for free (linkware), except the precious one of her family page. You can buy exclusive ones, order custom ones, and if all this is not enough to make your page special, you can use a triple background maker, perfectly working tool to pick up graphics and mix them into the bold border for your content.

Dragan and me are a big part of a small exhibition called  Kitsch Digital in Barcelona, we are happy that our works — Gravity, Midnight, Dimensions — all represent the 1990’s in the exposition. It is a big deal for us to appear on walls marked with an under construction sign!

Friday Night ⁋ by olia

+ 2011-03-04

Most of Geocities pages link to other Geocities pages, moreover, links usually stay inside a particular neighborhood.

But if you manage to get out from the Geocities archive, through the link that is still actual, then there is a good chance you’ll find yourself in a jungle of files and links Google’s algoritm is not daring to wade through. This is how I went from Marsha to a page dedicated to her. there I found the link to The Mystical world of Unicorns. All you unicorns there looked familiar, but unicorn.midi made me curious. It appeared to be composed by Geoff, who has a rich collection of original midi compositions. It is also smartly organized. Geoff’s wife writes about fairies. Again, great music on the page.

+ + 2011-03-03

Disturbing navigation, Dragan mentioned yesterday as a part of the Awesome Wonder set by a master of nested tables layouts Marsha Durham.

Above of all the terms and conditions she insists: I DO REQUIRE THAT MY GRAPHICS DO NOT BE USED ON ANY PORNOGRAPHIC SITE.

“medium to express once true feelings” ⁋ by olia

+ + + + 2011-02-28

Dana International is an Israeli pop singer, famous transsexual and winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1998.

There is a page about her on wikipedia, boring profiles on facebook and myspace, a youtube channel, an official site in flash (with skip intro link) under the .co.il TLD. And a gorgeous site at the WestHollywood neighborhood made by her fan Juri Said.

Beside other beautiful features the site contains an outstanding navigation of 20 gems.

Fans’ web pages are always better than official ones. No surprise. Juri Said has found the right words to explain why:

“Am I a fan? Surely I enjoy Dana’s music and performance and certainly will make sure that any new CDs will promptly find their way to my collection, however that in itself is not sufficient reason for opening a homepage. […] Well than what is left, is the question whether I am shouting I love you all over the networks out of some unrealistic expectation to have the message received and acknowledged. […] I consider it perfectly ligit to use the Internet as medium on which to express once true feelings.”
