About notsniw.net

Some Background Information

How did it begin?
It all began in 1996 when I had my first personal computer and thus my own Internet account. I've always been interested in how webpages come about and thus began making my own.

I remember spending hours just to find out how FTP works and I spent even more time finding out about free webhosting by Geocities, Tripod, Angelfire and more.

Eventually, I settled on using the 2MB of webspace that Singnet provided and http://www.singnet.com.sg/~notsniw became my first home on the Internet.

Over the years, as webspace became an issue, I tried Tripod as well as Brinkster, with Brinkster being my last free webhost.
Why have your own website?
Well, this is a personal site and will most probably always remain one. Basically, having my own website is for both interest as well as allowing my friends to keep themselves updated on my life.
Is there an archive of the old versions of this website?
Nope, no archives as there were no major changes to this website but gradual changes to it.

Why notsniw.net?
Well, notsniw has been my nick online for as long as I can remember... How it came about is no mystery and it's somewhere in one of my bloggie entries. .net is the next best option to .com as this is a personal site.

So that's notsniw.net for you.
How old is notsniw.net?
notsniw.net was officially launched (erm, by me) on 14 May 2003. So till date, it is 850 days old.

The history of my fiddling with webpages would date back till 1996 though.
What changes have been made since the start of notsniw.net?
Well, the site has undergone one major make-over on 7 July 2003 and the layout has been in used till 31 December 2004, with minor changes here and there.

Notable changes would be the Shoutbox, the FLASH jukebox, the online chat system (no longer in use) as well as the main menu of the website.

A second major make-over was implemented on 1 January 2005. The site is still under-going some changes at this point in time.
