Part 1, Early 2023
My desire to create a website and hence this entire website started with a single reason. Mathematics. Well technically JavaScript but that was circa 2021. Regardless, I was am a nerd, and as such herd immunity is not an alien concept to me. My group of friends got together over gaming in the school library and because we were also crammed into the same classes 63% of the time. I was planning on just cruizing during everything then put my all into music and digital until I met an actually good math teacher. He wouldn't let us wait for the rest of the class to catch up for the last 45m of the hour long periods of the session. Instead he would push us further, eventually going on to the next years work, and this website was somehow made by that? Why yes. I was running out of space in my math book and we were constantly doing exercises that we had already done. An thus, math_site.html was born.
(I used to keep it on a USB, but I think I corrupted that one while trying to....... install linux? I forget. It's probably lost media now anyway...)
Part 2, Late 2023
FUN FACT, THIS NEXT PART HAS A BACKGROUND THAT SUCKS
YOU CAN HIGHLIGHT TEXT TO ACTUALLY READ IT
Of all the websites on the vast seas of the internet, this sure was one of them. During this era, I swapped the USB for a website and, more importantly, attempted to use and understand CSS. The latter happened earlier than the former, probably because my friends didn't want to plug a random USB into their computer (for good reason too, I would give them a virus for fun).
Little still remains from the main page from around this time, since I hadn't installed the archive.org extension yet, but I kept the background image and the color of each different font, so that I could piece together what it looked like for this page. I still have enough memory of the site to be capable of partially recreating it, but it is a large number of <br> and life is too short for that.
The main page, as it currently stands, bears some resemblance to what the original index page looked like. The pieces that still remain are; the top navigation bar (although I think it simply said "kiwiburger"); the Epic website gif; the VERY GREAT WEBSITE image; the marqueeing dancing babies with text (albeit much slower, not alterating direction, and missing a second set that said "boing" instead); some of the 88x31 buttons i think; the status.cafe box; the "last updated" and "goober theft" text (one with rainbow text); and finally the bleh cat at the bottom (of which, the exact same image is used for the 5th 88x31 button. It is also the sole image on styletest and one of them on jesse-we-need-to-cook)
Also apparently liks are unreadable with this background, who wouldve thunk?
Time passes, things happen. I think part of the unblocked games site I was using at the time got blocked on the school wifi, which led me to other ways to get my fix of los video huego (yall mind if a white boy speaks a little espanol?). I looked up "html pinball", because I had recently played NES pinball, and i stumbled across a version on codepen. Immediately after seeing html code, I copy and pasted it all into neocities (I host/hosted on neocities by the way, in case you didnt know) and probably used chat j'ai pété to fix all of the millions of problems I definitely had with it (yall mind if a white boy speaks a little français?). I put it on the site and hid it with an image that I """"""""""created"""""""""" using inspirobot.me (no link, fuck you).
The image mentioned above. "With terrible challenges come terrible goals"
And all was well with the world and nothing ever changed ever again
Part 3, Early 2024
I decided to change everything and it fucked it all up (the world too, thats my fault guys mb).
I dont know what to write. I made the background in GIMP using the star brush, then bade a second version where I twisted every star by 90 degrees (and left one of the legs of the star in the top right). Then I just put it together in ezgif and viola. Around 2026-ish i made a similar one, one with stripes, and made it as the background for some parts but thats about it.
I hated every single second of writing this and will never again do anything similar to this ever again
