Welcome to my new site!
WARNING! EXTREMELY BORING STORY AHEAD! SKIP IT NOW! QUICK! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! OK, WE WARNED YOU...
A long time ago, (July 2001) on a computer far, far away (It's been moved upstairs)...
The original Adam's Site was actually kind of popular. I got around 200 hits in about 6 months. (Sure, most of them were me, but 200 hits is 200 hits!) It's main attraction to the 10 or so people that went to it was the anti-terrorism page, which had lots of anti-terrorist pictures and such. Tragically, all these pictures made the site take up a HUGE amount of space. Eventually, Tripod got tired of giving out so much free webspace, and when I got back to working on in Jan. 2002, Tripod told me that I my site of around 300 trillion K was over the free limit of 20 K. My options were to forget about the site, take stuff off so that it would be under the limit, or pay (hahahahaha!) to get up to 50 K of memory. So I clicked on the thingie to take stuff off, and I discovered that I could just keep editing it normally this way. So, I had fun illegally making my site bigger for about another month, when they finally wouldn't let me edit any more. But this time, I've learned my lesson: If you need more free space, get another free user account, make another site, and link the two!
WE WARNED YOU BUT YOU HAD TO READ IT, DIDN'T YOU? WELL, WE BET YOU'RE SORRY NOW, HUH? NEXT TIME, MAYBE YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THE UNEXPLAINED WARNING FROM NO APPARENT SOURCE!
In a way that's eeriely similar to the original Super Mario Brothers series (for NES), the first was really popular, the third was really popular, but no one has actually owned, played, seen, touched, smelled, or otherwise interacted with the second one. I think there's a connection there. After searching the internet far and wide, around November 2002, I finally found another website builder for someone like myself: someone who is too lazy to learn HTML and wants a free site anyway. It was on a small, humble server somewhere. My only clue to where it was based was that it had .uk in the Web address. After a few weeks, I began to suspect that this meant it was in Ukrane. It was a decent builder at first. I could put all kinds of my senseless junk on the site for free. But then tragedy struck! I discovered that you had to make the site look ridiclously like their designs. You couldn't have more than 3 pictures on a page with text, or 8 on a page without it. They all had to be the exact size and in the exact place that they wanted. You couldn't have more than 6 seperate pages. It had all kinds of stupid restrictions like these. I wouldn't stand for such internet totalatarianism, or however you spell it!
In November 2003, my friend (lets just call him Anthony L....no, I think A. Lebaron is more approate) made his own website on Geocities. I started to get jealous. He also put all kinds of stuff on his site about his opinions were right and any conflicting ones were wrong. So of course, I did the adult thing: I got my own site again to make my rants public as well. I looked at Geocities, compared it to Tripod, and picked Tripod because it can hold 5 K more of my rants than Anthony's can.
So, have fun wasting almost as much time on this site as me!
