  • I did web design in the 90’s and remember one customer reviewing the site that I’d designed her. She said she liked it, but asked if I could add something like that neat little paper clip she has when she opens up Word, so it can help people navigate her site.

    Note: Javascript was in its early days around this time so the idea of a dynamic/interactive site like this was not on the cards.



  • I’d recommend avoiding Google for web searching. Duckduckgo has been a good alternate for me for about 5 years now. I’ve heard that Bing is a good alternate, even though its a Microsoft service. ChatGPT is also a good option to compliment web searches, though I’d recommend getting a second result from another service if looking up an answer to a question, but when doing general questions/suggestions it can outperform a web search in both detail and ability to refine/filter.

    Google is just a ranked ad delivery service based on an abused and gamed SEO system, it’s fucking awful for delivering useful links.
